Past projects

Winternet (2003-2005, Uppsala universitet, Sweden)

Winternet is a national research project to enhance the Internet architecture so that it will be able to accommodate the new requirements that are emerging as a result of its success. Apart from Uppsala Universitet Winternet also involves research groups from Luleå Universitet of Technology, Royal Institute of Technology and Swedish Institute of Computer Science.

BlueStreak (2002, Uppsala universitet, Sweden)

M. Wiggberg, E. Köhler, P. Hedqvist, P. Gunningberg

The BlueStreak project at Uppsala universitet aimed to investigate the possibilities to merge Bluetooth with other wireless access technologies in order to build a merged infrastructure for communication. The project focused on the principles behind Vertical Handover.

The key idea behind BlueStreak among with some other ideas in the wireless communication area was collected in a business case. And late 2002 that business case became the starting point for a new startup company, OptiMobile.

C4 (2001, University of New South Wales, Australia)

M. Wiggberg, A. Seneviratne, P. Gunningberg

C4 focus on solutions for mobility management, in future wireless networks. My contribution here was a work on Distributed Network Address Translator (DNAT) as an alternative to Mobile IP. The DNAT work resulted in my Master Thesis.

Final report.

Lecture slides about Vertical Handover, UNSW and DNAT

Vertical Handover (2001, Uppsala Universitet)

M. Wiggberg, J. Ersson, E. Köhler, M. Johansson, H. Lindgren, P. Gunningberg

As a part of a graduate course in data communications I managed a student project on Vertical Handover. The aim was to design and
implement a system for Vertical Handovers based on Mobile IP.
