11 Example: End to end bottleneck localisation in citywlan VTT's QoSMeT measurement tool provides real time passive E2E and multi point QoS measurements Network performance, handover duration, protocol performance 50us accuracy in LAN, WiFi, WiMAX and HSDPA networks

12 CNL competences: Mobility and Networks Research topics Mobility management Moving devices and networks Multidimensional handovers Multi access Cross layer triggering Mobility protocols VTT offers Concept development Prototyping & implementation Mobile testbeds & testing Consulting Solutions from client devices to large scale networks

13 Example: Smart converged handover solution VTT's handover assistant combines multiple handover decision related triggers in both terminal and network side Media Independent Handover (MIH) based solution supporting MIP, HIP Terminal is assisted to more suitable access network based on operator policy, resources, application needs, Future converged network environment

14 CNL competences: Adaptive transmission Research topics Multi channel delivery Adaptive video coding Cross layer communication Quality of Service Home networks VTT offers Environment for testing and development of video transmission technologies Tools for network monitoring Adaptation methods for multimedia services

15 Example: Real time adaptive IPTV platform VTT's IPTV service provides real life content adapted to mobile phones, laptops, TVs, STBs over various networks VTT's video adaptation module scales frame rate, quantisation and resolution Platform includes also commercial IPTV and gaming on demand (GoD) services Inputs Video file Web camera Video Camera Digital TV Server Rate adaptation Streaming Rate control Network IPv4/IPv6 3G Cellular network WLAN AP Network monitoring WLAN Radio Links LAN Clients UPnP QoS implementation

16 CNL competences: Mobile multimedia Research topics Content adaptation and management Video coding and wireless transmission Content analysis algorithms Content aware multimedia services VTT offers Tools for audio and video analysis Solutions for robust video coding and transmission Platform for mobile video management from production to consumption

17 Examples: 1) VoIP quality assessment 2) Unified presence VOIP MOS VTT's algorithms for VoIP MOS assessment Listening and conversational quality Integrated to QoS measurement tool UNIFIED PRESENCE VTT's unified presence server combines mobile phone, IM, Internet (Skype) and office access control presence sources Business back end Oracle Internet Skype, Google Unified Presence Office applications MSOffice, Linux Cellular IMS, Symbian

18 CNL competences: Network testbeds Features Heterogeneous access networks Laboratory, municipal and wide area networks Multi operator environments Services and enablers Testing service VTT offers European wide access to partner testing facilities Research, development and testing of mobility mechanisms and mobile services Networking within the European research community

19 Example: Certification service for convergence products ICT product and system certification market in US ~1300M$ and in Europe ~270M (*) Build on top of other certifications, focus on products in converged networks (CN) End 2 end performance, mobility, privacy/security and interoperability use of virtual testing (lab on your desk) Stages of "CN approval" 1. Lab verification 2. Test network verification 3. Commercial Networks validation 4. Use of "CN approved" logo Customer benefits Outsource difficult CN test cases One stop for multitude of testing Reduced investments (*) Source: VTT 2007
