Hi All,

As part of a recently completed EU collaborative FP7 project called Dense 
Cooperate Wireless Networks (DIWINE - http://diwine-project.eu/public/) we have 
developed an 8-node N210 network spread over a large office space demonstrating 
PHY network coding and distributed synchronisation. The abstract for the 
project is:

“DIWINE considers wireless communication in a dense relay / node scenario where 
WNC (Wireless Network Coding) messages are flooded via dense massively 
air-interacting nodes in the self-contained cloud while the PHY air-interface 
between the terminals (sources / destinations) and the cloud is simple and 
uniform. A complex infrastructure cloud creates an equivalent air-interface to 
the terminal, which is as simple as possible. Source and destination 
air-interfaces are completely blind to the cloud network structure. The cloud 
has its own self-contained organising and processing capability.

This concept facilitates energy-efficient, high-throughput and low-latency 
network communication performed directly at the PHY layer, which is capable of 
operating in complicated, dense, randomly defined network topologies and 
domains. The applications of the DIWINE paradigm are generic, being relevant to 
complex systems ranging from intelligent transport systems to healthcare and 
even machine-type communication in wireless networks.

However, in order to exhibit practical, highly focused and high impact results, 
DIWINE concentrates on two core application / demonstration cases: (i) smart 
metering networks and (ii) critical industrial monitoring and control 
applications. To this end, DIWINE algorithms and theoretical technology will be 
integrated into two industrial proof-of-concept demonstration platforms 
targeting the aforementioned applications. Both of these applications require 
low-latency, dense networking solutions and are sure to be integral to future 
European policy and society as evidenced by recent European Commission 
initiatives such as EUROPE 2020.”

The final demonstrator report is at 
http://diwine-project.eu/public/content/files/public/DIWINE_D5.42.pdf, please 
get in touch if you are interested in any of the theory or practice therein. 
One of the key features we used was to enable deployed MATLAB code (compiled 
shared libraries) so be called directly from C++ GR blocks allowing rapid 
prototyping. A manual of how to achieve this is currently being tested and I 
will post this ASAP.

Regards,

David
