Topic Name: A research project on the next generation of smartphones
Category: Electronics
Research persons: Prof. Attila Bilgic
Location: Bochum, Germany
Details
An international team of researchers around Prof.. Attila Bilgic of the Ruhr University-Bochum (RUB), will attempt to use the so-called multi solutions on mobile phones. The research project entitled "eMuCo", will have a total budget of 4.6 million, including 2.9 million from the 7th Research Framework Program of the European Union.
The term "Multi" is used to describe a processor of at least two hearts (or units of calculation) engraved in the same chip. They allow, in particular, simultaneous use of different software and protocols without problems. Already used in PCs for a long time, the researchers use virtualization to apply this technology to mobile telephony. It allows a separation of resources in space and time. Thus, integration of different software environments such as applications running on different operating systems or different protocols is made possible.
The multi-technology is still new and not yet controlled by the researchers. Mobile phones like the iPhone or Blackberry, with many features, will require more power, which provides the technology. The research project is to develop basic strategies to benefit from this technology in mobile telephony.
"Recent advances in mobile technology and the exponential growth of the use of multimedia applications suggest that the multi-system will be the solution for the future in mobile telephony," said Maria Elizabeth Gonzalez de Izarra of RUB. "We are however a major challenge that we face through eMuCo: load balancing." The vast amount of information issued by the protocols and interdependence between the processes are characteristic of mobile phones: the distribution of charge is different from that in the PC.
The project brings together a consortium of Prof. around. Bilgic. Attended the University of the Ruhr-Bochum, the Technical University of Dresden, University of York in Britain and the University "Politehnica" of Timisoara, Romania, and companies Infineon, GWT-TUD, Telelogic ARM Sweden and Britain.
