Short description:

The goal of the project was a complete modernization of information and communication system used by URSZR (Uprava Republike Slovenije za zaščito in reševanje - Administration for civil protection and disaster relief) in its CORS (Center za obveščanje Republike Slovenije - Notification centre) and thirteen ReCO's (Regijski center za obveščanje - Regional notification centre). Due to its growing obsolescence, the hardware as well as software equipment needed to be modernized.

JSI participated in the project in the field of the communications infrastructure. In addition to the computer network based on the TCP/IP protocol, it encompasses a number of special communications subsystems which must be at the management and user level integrated as much as possible: a traditional telephone system with corresponding telephone exchanges and support for the emergency call number 112, professional mobile radio systems ZARE and ZARE PLUS, a paging system and a public warning system. The following tasks have been accomplished:

• Analysis of the existing non-computer and computer communication infrastructure

• Design of a new system with a definition of requirements for the new equipment with emphasize on compatibility at the communication infrastructure level
• Implementation of the solutions in the framework of a pilot system of the new information and communication infrastructure

Other partners on the project were working on modernization of the hardware and software parts of the information system and assurance and evaluation of reliability of its operation.

Partnerji na projektu: Univerza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, Iskra Sistemi d. d., Tehnološki park Ljubljana, Intekom d.o.o.

Vodja projekta na IJS: prof. dr. Gorazd Kandus

Kratek opis:

Razvili smo aplikacije za potrebe MORS, kot so GIS, WAP, AVL, osebni klic in telemetrija. Pilotsko omrežje TETRA smo povezali z javnim telefonskim omrežjem in z omrežjem Slovenske vojske.

TETRA je ETSI standard za profesionalno mobilno radijsko omrežje, ki ga uporablja vojska, policija, reševalci, gasilci ter službe, ki se ukvarjajo z zaščito in varnostjo ter je zato družbeno pomemben del nacionalne infrastrukture.

·         Razvoj koncepta ločenega upravljanja omrežja in uporabnikov v sistemu TETRA za potrebe MORS v enotnem digitalnem radijskem omrežju TETRA,

·         specifikacija in testiranje komunikacijskih storitev TETRA na letališču Cerklje,

·         uvajanje internetnih storitev v omrežje TETRA,

·         uporaba sistema TETRA za potrebe Slovenske vojske,

·         uporaba sistema TETRA za potrebe Uprave RS za zaščito in reševanje.

Kratek opis:

V okviru programa »Znanje za varnost in mir« smo izvajali CRP projekt »Profesionalni sistem mobilnih komunikacij za MORS«. V raziskovalnem projektu smo pridobili nova znanja ter izdelali več študij in aplikacij, ki so uporabna pri uvajanju tehnologije TETRA ter pri izgradnji pilotskega radijskega omrežja za potrebe MORS. Aplikacije in razvita orodja TETRA smo praktično preizkusili v pilotskem omrežju.

V raziskavi izdelana razvojna orodja in testne aplikacije vsebujejo vrhunska znanja in tehnologijo s področja brezžičnih komunikacijskih sistemov, ki jih nameravamo uporabiti pri sodelovanju z domačo industrijo in s ponudniki telekomunikacijskih storitev. Pridobljena znanja in izkušnje so koristne tudi pri sodelovanju v mednarodnih projektih.

Ob zaključku projekta smo za predstavnike MORS v Centru za obrambno usposabljanje v Poljčah uspešno izvedli predstavitev razvojnih in raziskovalnih rezultatov ter demonstracijo storitev in aplikacij v pilotskem sistemu TETRA

Detailed description:

Today, Europe is a space power - the space industry, satellite operators and space organisations are major players in their respective fields, which are global in nature. Over the years, European RandD in satellite communications has encompassed a large number of activities spanning many programmes and organisations, however, such initiatives have been restricted in their strategic value, with only limited collaboration and coordination and further exasperated by a lack of the critical mass required to make an impact on the world stage. 

The Commission's recently published White Paper on Space states that if Europe is to remain a Space Power it will need a policy to develop and deploy applications and to support the research and development, technology and infrastructures. As a first approach to integrate European research in satellite communications, the SatNEx NoE was established with the broad aims of removing barriers, integrating research and spreading excellence. The follow-on Phase-II project, SatNEx-II, aims to build on the groundbreaking SatNEx programme and, in so doing, achieve the longer-term goals that have been set in motion. The primary goals of the SatNEx-II NoE are to achieve long-lasting integration of European research in satellite communications and to develop a common base of knowledge. 

SatNEx-II will establish an innovative satellite communication platform for use by all members of the Network as a means for integrating research, teaching and training. SatNEx-II will disseminate the knowledge and the expertise generated to the international research community through various media at its disposal. SatNEx-II personnel will benefit from opportunities to move between institutions within the Network, to exchange ideas, share best practice and make use of specialist facilities.

Project Cost: 5.65 million euro 
Contract Type: Specific Targeted Research Project 
Project Status: Execution 
Project Funding: 3.1 million euro

Principal researcher JSI: Asst. Prof. Mihael Mohorčič

Detailed description:

The objective of the CAPANINA project was to develop broadband capability from aerial platforms including High Altitude Platforms (HAPs) to deliver cost effective solutions providing a viable alternative to cable and satellite, with the potential to reach rural, urban and travelling users. Examples of HAPs include airships and solar powered aeroplanes operating at altitudes of around 20km, well above any air traffic.

The project adopted a multi-strand approach:

• Identification of appropriate applications and services and associated business models, including the establishing of the most appropriate integrated network architectures.
• The development of a system testbed for nearer-term tests of broadband services/applications to fixed users, including: backhaul for terrestrial WLAN, corporate communications and video-on-demand, along with an evaluation of free space optical technology.
• Longer-term state-of-the-art research and innovation examining advanced mobile broadband access focusing on a scenario that will deliver broadband to trains, integrating with on-board wireless LAN base stations.

The technology was developed for delivering data rates to fixed and moving users of up to 120Mbit/s anywhere within a HAPs' 60km diameter coverage area. Free-space optic and mm-wave technologies were assessed for the use as backhaul and interplatform links providing seamless integration with existing infrastructure.

The Department of Communication Systems at Jožef Stefan Institute was one of the core partners and WP2 workpackage leader concerned with communication links and networking. Research activities comprised selection and adaptation of broadband wireless access communication standards for high-speed moving train scenario, development of HAP propagation channel model, investigation of platform diversity, adaptive modulation and coding techniques, and specification of network architecture and networking protocols with special emphasis on the network mobility management.
