The project identified reference deployment scenarios, defined new KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and QoE metrics, developed new testing methodologies and tools, and designed a complete evaluation scheme. The project focused on the development of a framework to ensure users QoE in the new challenging situations, especially those due to heterogeneous networks and considering the role software will have in the new 5G ecosystem.

The NICS Lab group participated with Nokia Spain (previously Alcatel Lucent España) in the development of a test bench for vehicular communications based on Bluetooth, to be used to validate different security protocols. This collaboration began in 2012 as part of a project of the INNPACTO progamme, financed by the Ministry of Economy and Competivity […]
The NICS Lab group participated, together with the company NuCypher (initially ZeroDB), in the development of its delegate re-coding network based on Blockchain. This work began in 2016 and the launch of the network is forecast for the end of 2020. From then on and until 2023, NICS Lab will participate in the network as […]
Since 2006, NICS has collaborated with the multinational company Siemens in different European projects in the field of security and the Internet of Things. The first collaborations focused on the secure integration of sensor networks in industrial environments. This was followed by collaborations in the field of privacy, which gave rise to the co-direction of […]
TIGRIS is a project that has enabled building a secure, integrated solution that combines the acquisition and management of information from different environments and areas, such as intelligent network, public lighting, intelligent metering and intelligent building devices. All these areas have been developed under a hierarchical architecture (integrated systems) in which a set of intelligent […]
The group MORSE is participating in the H2020 5Genesis project as part of a particularly heterogeneous consortium of 29 partners from the academic and industrial sectors of 12 different countries. The objective of 5Genesis is to provide a set of services and tools that offer the research community, industry, and technological companies the possibility of […]
The Morse group has been collaborating with At4 Wireless (at present DEKRA) since 2009. Between 2009 and 2012 it participated with AT4 in the development of software communications for its LTE network emulator, with CDTI [Centre for Industrial Technological Development] financing. The collaboration continues in the field of testing tools for mobile and private networks […]
The Q4HEALTH project is an innovation action focused on the optimization of real time video for emergency services over LTE. The project is implemented as a set of experiments conducted over the FIRE platforms PerformLTE and OpenAirInterface. The motivation is to study video performance in scenarios with wearable live video for first responders, improving its […]
FLEX (FIRE LTE testbeds for open experimentation) aims at contributing a crucial missing piece in FIRE's infrastructure puzzle: cellular access technologies and Long-Term Evolution (LTE). FLEX's experimentation environment will feature both open source platforms and configurable commercial equipment that span macro-cell, pico-cell and small-cell setups. FLEX will build upon current FIRE testbed management and experiment […]
The NICS group participated with AT4 BT (British Telecom) in the development of trust management solutions for intelligent home scenarios based on the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. The collaboration lasted from 2015 to 2019 with financing from the Marie Curie network of the H2020 NeCS (Network on CyberSecurity) programme. This collaboration continued with the […]
