Demonstration of Wireless Testbed- Overview -
  • Overview of Demonstrations
  • Demonstration of Seamless Communications
  • Connection technology for seamless communications
    was used to continuously distribute broadband
    contents via notebook PC or other terminals in
    commercial network (FOMA, PHS) coverage and
    wireless LAN spot areas.
  • Demonstration of Applications
  • Multiplexed Distribution of Audio and Video
    Content
  • Assuming possible operation in a large convention
    site, co-axial cable multiplexed transmission
    technology was used to compound low-latency,
    video content broadcasting distribution and FM
    audio broadcasting distribution for broadband
    service.
  • High-Definition Video Transmission
  • Wireless LAN system (HiSWANa) was used to
    demonstrate video transmission.
  • Medical Information Transmission in Emergency
  • Communications in emergency medical situation.
    The video data of the scene, patients
    electro-cardiogram, etc. was transmitted via
    wireless LAN system (HiSWANa).
  • A scenario was made to carry out a series of
    above demonstrations

Demonstration of Seamless Communications-
Overview -
  • 2 Demonstrations
  • Seamless Communications A
  • A test model of seamless switching while
    maintaining session between different
    communication systems. This time, the 3G mobile
    phone (FOMA, NTT DoCoMo), IEEE802.11a, and .11b
    were used outdoor. In the model, a terminal was
    connected respectively with wireless LAN (micro
    area) or wireless LAN (small area) hot spot in
    each area, and, outside the coverage, with FOMA
    to distribute video content to a terminal by
    using Mobile IP technology.
  • Seamless Communications B
  • A test model of seamless switching while
    maintaining session between wireless LAN and PHS.
    Mobile IP technology allowed content to be
    continuously displayed while the terminal is
    moving. CE.NET-compliant PDA was used in the
    test. When media was switched, session was
    disconnected. Yet, continued Internet access was
    confirmed on PDA www browser.

Demonstration of Seamless Communications-
Operation of Seamless Communications, Mobile IP -
  • Used in Seamless Communications A
  • HA maintains the mapping of Home Address and
    Mobile Address. IP packet sent to Home Address is
    forwarded to Mobile Address.
  • MN registers Mobile Address assigned by each
    network for Home Address, whenever a network is
    switched to another.
  • Communication Procedure
  • CN is communicating with MN via HA.
  • MN moves from FOMA-area to W-LAN-area.
  • MN registers the location, and Mobile Address
    assigned by wireless LAN is registered for HA.
  • HA forwards the packet to the new Mobile Address.

Emergency Medical Communications- Overview -
  • Arrived at a hospital, yet no doctors available
    to take care of the patient.
  • The patient is in more serious condition than
    most doctors can handle.
  • Miss choice of a hospital could cost patients
    life.

Solutions
  • Sophisticated broadband wireless transmission
    may be used between an ambulance and a medical
    service institution.
  • Two-way wireless communications may be used to
    change the part to check or switch instruments,
    according to the hospitals instructions.
  • A paramedic and a hospital may discuss to decide
    the right hospital to take a patient based on
    his/her electronic medical data.

Instrument to equip on Ambulance
  • Electrocardiograph
  • Supersonic waves meter
  • Video camera to record a patients condition
  • Video camera to show the location of the
    ambulance

As the actual installationwill be large-scale,
feasibility may be studied via Test Bed.

Conclusions
  • Wireless Test Bed System is required to develop
    in accordance with technological innovation. It
    takes a huge cost to construct and maintain a
    test bed. However, the charge for usage should be
    as low as possible to promote full utilization of
    the facility. Connectivity and accessibility to
    Test Bed should be open to any organizations at
    home and abroad.
  • Currently, Test Bed equipment is mostly
    installed by a single organization both in public
    and private sectors. But, in case of a
    large-scale test bed in technologically
    innovating field, it is not practical to
    construct one by a single organization.
  • A Test Bed consists of two parts Hard (equipment
    and instruments) and Soft (operation and
    business) to interact to each other. Both parts
    do not have to be centralized. Functionalities
    may be dispersed and yet cooperate on demand.
  • Therefore, it is desirable that the basic
    architecture of Test Bed be built jointly by 1)
    national research laboratories with test
    facilities and competence as technological
    advisors, 2) a consortium of RD laboratories
    from manufacturers, communication carriers, etc.
    who coordinates for joint research, research
    costs, etc., 3) third party testing
    organizations who meet the demand of
    technological certification tests etc. and may
    provide fair and just management of Test Bed on a
    daily basis, and that Test Bed facility personnel
    should cooperate in the operation of Test Bed.
  • Furthermore, Test Beds may facilitate
    international co-operations in standardization
    etc. Governmental subsidies and supporting
    measures for Test Beds should be considered for
    better development and further progress of
    communication technologies.
