Activity related to the proposed action:

University of Beira Interior contributions are in the following areas:
__ Classification and characterisation of Enhanced UMTS and Mobile Broadband
Systems (MBS) services and applications;
__ Deployment scenarios for Enhanced UMTS and MBS;
__ Multi-service traffic and characterisation of the traffic sources and
service components(including traffic from mobility);
__ Optimisation bases in cost/revenues aspects.

The aspects covering cellular planning tools should also
be included into the project because they will allow to join together, 
contributions from coverage, interference, urban geometry and tele-traffic 
performance aspects, among others.

University of Beira Interior is currently participating in the IST-SEACORN (Simulation of 
Enhanced UMTS Access and Core Networks) with research covering some topics in these areas.
