UMM: User-centric Mobility Management (05.2010-08.2013)

UMM (User-centric Mobility Management) is a project focused on global mobility management in spontaneous wireless environments, i.e., environments that self-adjust to any network topology change. Global mobility management is addressed from a network perspective, and the purpose is to ensure a transparent access to Internet services (e.g Triple Play) for the end-user, who will be able to access his/her subscribed services independently from access attachment point, location, and based upon his/her own requirements (“Quality of Experience”, QoE). In addition, global mobility management is to be analyzed from a de-centralized perspective, given that environments to be considered will incorporate wireless local-loops that are based upon end-user willingness to cooperate.

The project has been coordinated by COPELABS, SITI, and had as participating entity Institute of Telecommunications in Aveiro. The project was sponsored by Fundacao para a CIencia e Tecnologia between 2010 and 2013.
