Project Ideas presented at the CELTIC-NEXT Proposers Day on 29 June 2015 in Paris
Vision:
Delivering abilities to reach 100% sustainable energy sources for any kind of territory, whatever its size, resources, needs, situation.
-> scheduling and monitoring energies flows, according production – consumption at RT, considering many scales (time, space …) =
Optimization and Integration of the energy systems.
Levels for flexibility :
- Demand side response
- RES as part of the grid (ancillary services)
- Multi sources Hybridization
So, the system you have to optimize is the whole value chain of local energy area.

Considering the still persisting gap between the two communities, satellite and terrestrial, Eurescom sees a role for itself to support a dialogue between the two communities eventually leading to the proper integration of satellite networks with terrestrial ones.
The 5G, IoT and satellite triangle
5G and satellite
- 5G was identified as a unique opportunity for integration of satellite with terrestrial as 5G by definition should encompass all transmission technologies
5G and IoT
- IoT is identified as a major application area in 5G, representing a completely different set of requirements than the other major application area, content delivery
Satellite in 5G and IoT
- Satellite can bring unique benefits to 5G and nicely complement terrestrial solutions (broadcast, large coverage area, very high sharing of the backhaul environment)
- Satellite can also contribute to the support of IoT applications in 5G (e.g. maintenance of edge nodes)
Potential topics of interest
- Need for trialling and demonstrating key 5G technologies incorporating satellite components and using IoT as one of the main application area – the other being content delivery
- Satellite can bring/offer mature technology and solutions, (e.g. regarding modems, etc.) that may fit in terrestrial concepts and nicely complement them – connectivity for very high speed mobile nodes (high speed trains, etc.)
- The satellite ground segment is currently being re-thought and undergoing the same transformations dictated by software defined networking just as any terrestrial network components
- Early attempts are on their way to make space segment technologies and payloads ready to accept virtual machines, offering entirely new opportunities, including separation, redundancy, testing in lab on the ground and shipping to space new functions
- IP enabled video distribution via satellite is another interesting segment and likely candidate for convergence with terrestrial in the process of CDN evolution

LOCKOS main objectives:
- Develop an indoor geolocation solution at lower cost
- Use last generation smartphones / tablets as hardware platforms
- Minimize the support infrastructure of this solution
- Provide end users with a calculation engine
Project advantages:
- Autonomous solution based on inertia: no need to deploy a significant hardware architecture
- Solution optimally using inertial sensors (not reduced to the Dead Reckoning = pedometer) in the form of a strap-down navigation
- Solution exploiting all available sensors on a smartphone (magnetometer, GPS, Wi-Fi, 2G/3G/4G, photo and video) through an optimal data fusion
- Solution performing all the calculations “on board”, exploiting the computing resources of modern smartphones
- Scalable solution based on the available sensors (pressure sensor, NFC …)
Examples of Project Applications:

- Cloud platforms are increasingly popular (analogy with electricity production in factories)
- But raises major concerns: Who controls the data? How is privacy treated?
- PEPS proposes to use end-to-end encryption to manage confidential data while being interoperable with cloud platforms and services
Outcome:
- A cloud-based platform to handle confidential data compatible with major cloud platforms, that has a rich set of APIs to be easily integrated in other applications
Impact:
- Provide technical barriers to control data
- Enhance privacy of end-users (business and citizens)
