Moby Dick WP4 2 / 44

21. Near is thy forgetfulness of all things; and near the forgetfulness of thee by all.

23. The universal nature out of the universal substance, as if it were wax, now moulds a horse, and when it has broken this up, it uses the material for a tree, then for a man, then for something else; and each of

these things subsists for a very short time. But it is no hardship for the vessel to be broken up, just as there was none in its being fastened together.

1. Objectives and Workplan of the project In order to evolve 3rd Generation mobile and wireless infrastructures further towards the Internet - targeting IST 2000 IV 5.2 "Terrestrial Wireless System and Networks", the project Moby Dick will define, implement, and evaluate an IPv6-based mobility-enabled end-to-end QoS architecture starting from the current IETF's QoS models, Mobile-IPv6, and AAA framework. A representative set of interactive and distributed multimedia applications will serve to derive system requirements for the verification, validation, and demonstration of the Moby Dick architecture in a testbed comprising UMTS, 802.11 Wireless LANs and Ethernet. In the event of these existing applications or the underlying architectures not providing what is required, the necessary modification will be undertaken. The final test-bed scenario is to provide Erasmus students exchanged between Spain and Germany with the mobility-enabled and wireless infrastructure to be able to follow lessons on the home university while being abroad.

1.1 Workpackage WP1 – Architecture and Applications The objectives of this workpackage have been: • To define and specify the IPv6-based mobility-enabled end-to-end QoS Moby Dick architecture

taking into account existing IETF QoS-, Mobile-IPv6- and AAA- standardization work. • To define functional requirements for the inter-working of ‘AAA and Charging’, QoS and Mobility. • To co-ordinate the technical work between WP2 (QoS), WP3 (Mobility) and WP4 (AAA) to

guarantee a proper inter-working between these WPs. • To define set of interactive and distributive multimedia applications which are provided to WP5 to

validate and verify the system concept and the application scenario.

1.2 Workpackage WP2 – Quality of Service The objectives of this workpackage have been: • To develop solution for QoS in a IPv6-based mobility-enabled network. • To provide support for QoS in a consistent way in heterogeneous wireless-wired network. • To allow QoS adaptation to wireless link and mobility. • To introduce bandwidth-broker concept. • To introduce schemes for admission control. • To provide guidelines for resource provisioning. • To evaluate signalling schemes for QoS. • To ensure tight inter-working with AAAC and mobility solutions. • To verify the QoS solution in a demonstrator.

1.3 Workpackage WP3 – Mobility The objectives of this workpackage have been: • To enable mobile differentiated (QoS) services for IP in the context of UMTS, while being able to

authorise and charge users • To provide a unified mobile network architecture with a seamless mobility management for

communication networks based on arbitrary heterogeneous access technologies, and to implement for this project specifically: • TD-CDMA (UMTS-TDD1), • IEEE 802.11 (Wireless LAN) and • Ethernet (Wired LAN).

1.4 Workpackage WP4 – Authentication, Authorisation, Accounting and Charging The objectives of this workpackage have been: • To facilitate the deployment of a ubiquitous Mobile IPv6 infrastructure through a best-suited and

pragmatic usage of an evolutionary AAAC architecture based on the IRTF AAA proposal, and • To contribute with our work to main standard bodies. 1 In previous reports TD-CDMA was named as W-CDMA. This was a misunderstanding. Layer 1 and Layer 2 of

UMTS-TDD are called TD-CDMA!



1.5 Workpackage WP5 – Integration, Validation, Evaluation, and Trials The objectives of this workpackage have been: • To propose and demonstrate a convergent and coherent all-IP(v6) network infrastructure able to

federate heterogeneous wireless access networks. • To evaluate Moby Dick Architecture through a testbed including representative applications and

access networks (efficiency, usability, utility). • To asses the commercial relevance and benefits (potential and actual). • To integrate and validate software and architecture provided by other workpackages in a specific trial

scenario. • To trial the system in real life environment, providing end-users (students, operators, manufactures)

views on exploitation conditions for the project results. • To create and operate the framework in which the evaluation process can gather the necessary data.

1.6 Workpackage WP6 – Project Management and External Liaison The objectives of this workpackage have been: • To provide scientific, technical, and overall project management and co-ordination. • To ensure the quality management and assurance. • To maintain the information flow between partners. • To provide administrative and financial control according to workplan. • To co-ordinate the dissemination and promotion activities and to present the project towards the

European Commission. • To build up and keep contacts to other IST projects (e.g. BRAIN, WINE GLASS) and/or other

activities, e.g. EURESCOM projects (”http://www.eurescom.de/”), and to standardisation bodies such as IETF, etc.

• To install an IPv6 cluster or sub-cluster in the framework of the “system Beyond 3G”-cluster for IPv6 mobility issues.

Table 1: Workload distribution per partner and workpackage Remark: • WP6 covered only administrative management. This includes the overall co-ordination for the co-

ordinator (P01) of the project and dissemination activities. Partner P03 (UC3M) was responsible for the organisation of the Erasmus students in Spain. Partner P04 (ETHZ) was not funded by the Commission because they are Swiss. Both partners have a bigger amount of administrative work, this is reflected in manpower in WP6.



• For all partners it was mandatory to participate in WP1 – the architectural workpackage – and in WP5 – test and trials. Only partner P11 (FTW) did not have to participate in these workpackages. They were participating with 10% funding and with a relative small amount of manpower. They were focusing on specific theoretical topic within WP2 – QoS – and WP4 – AAAC.

• Partner P12 joined already the project last year (2002). The Amendment was confirmed in August 2003.

Objectives This workpackage will Investigate the QoS support for the IPv6-based mobility-enabled end-to-end QoS architecture, and Develop the solutions in the Moby Dick testbed’s IP infrastructure and mobile nodes.

Description of work Taking the architectural requirements from WP1, this workpackage will carry out the following activities: A0201: Admission control • Introduce admission control which is necessary to control the amount of traffic which is allowed for a

given QoS class, in order to preserve the already provided QoS for other packets of the same class. • Study Bandwidth Broker to manage resources in a user domain according to its dynamic SLA, with RSVP

as its signalling protocol with the mobile nodes, to support negotiation and re-negotiation of admission control in a time-critical manner.

A0202: QoS provision • Investigate the use of IntServ/RSVP in the user domain to support per-flow QoS. Typically, the issues to

be addressed include the QoS mapping at the IntServ/DiffServ domain boundary; definition of the optimal operation point between reservations of the IntServ model, SLAs and configuration of service classes (PHBs) of DiffServ; etc.

• Investigate how to classify and mark the packets both in the user node and the edge routers. A0203: QoS adaptation to wireless link and mobility • Define a QoS API and its mapping to the underlying QoS support. Such QoS API will also be used for

mobility support to allow the mobile device to switch to another network proactively. • Adapt the behaviour of the protocol stack, especially TCP, to wireless-link and mobility, to optimise its

performance. • Enhance protocol operations by enhancing information exchange in the interfaces between protocol layers. A0204:Implementation and evaluation of the Moby Dick QoS components • Implement the Moby Dick QoS component according to the research results in A0201, A0202 and A0203. • Integrate the Moby Dick QoS components in the Moby Dick testbed and evaluate their performance.

communication networks based on o TD-CDMA (UMTS), o IEEE 802.11 (Wireless LAN) and o Ethernet (Wired LAN).

Description of work A0301 Specification • This activity will specify and integrate mobility architecture. A0302 Development • This activity will develop interfaces and modules for the specified mobility architecture. The specification

will be adapted to real-world requirements and the capabilities within this project. It will in particular consider requirements from other workpackages to allow the provision of enhanced service qualities in a mobile environment.

A0303 Implementation • This activity will implement the mobility architecture as specified in the previous activities. • The implemented prototype will provide fast and seamless mobility between different networks and

administrative domains. It will also implement enhancements to IP mobility support, in order to support real-time VoIP traffic.

• The technical basis for this work will come from both the telecommunication/UMTS and the Internet/IETF environments. In particular, real-time voice via QoS-enhanced Mobile Ipv6 over local and wide area networks – and seamless mobility between them – will be supported.

Workpackage number : WP4 Title: Authentication, Authorisation, Accounting and Charging Start date or starting event: Month 5 / Year 1 Participant number: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Sum Person-months per participant: 12 0 12 36 24 56 0 0 0 0 6 10 154

Objectives • To facilitate the deployment of an ubiquitous Mobile IPv6 infrastructure through a best-suited and

pragmatic usage of an evolutionary AAAC architecture based on the IRTF AAA proposal, and • To contribute with our work to main standard bodies.

Description of work The task of this work package is to specify, develop, and implement a generic and scalable AAAC architecture in support of Mobile IPv6-based Quality-of-Service (QoS) aware services over a heterogeneous network infrastructure including integrated wired/wireless access aspects, multicast services, and multi-provider scenarios. A0401: Detailed Specification of an AAAC Architecture • The IETF's and IRTF's AAA architecture serves as the basis of this work, however, based on the dedicated

services considered and designed, a major enlargement and detailing of this basis is necessary. These extensions are to be specified and integrated into the overall Moby Dick architecture.

A0402: Implementation of the Specified AAAC Architecture • This activity will implement an AAAC server based on the specification of ACT 0401 and on the overall

Moby Dick architecture. It will provide an open source reference implementation to the public domain. A0403: Authentication, Authorisation, and Auditing • Evaluate mobility scenarios and requirements for authentication and authorisation with respect to Mobile

IPv6. Based on the support for configurability for service-specific and user-specific features by allowing for policy-based functions, the scenario given above is applied to the architecture.

A0404: Accounting and Charging • Tasks to be performed include the investigation and definition of the relation between accounted for

information and charging based on the services provided including mobile services and users (service level agreement definitions, parameter identification, mapping definition, and pricing model design). Based on investigations on the suitability of accounting for information in use of dynamic and static pricing models applying policy management, the design of an appropriate accounting and charging model for DiffServ backbones is performed. In addition, flow-based access networks and a transition to future QoS signalling methods in the local domain for mobile users are developed. Apply the given scenario above to the architecture and set up a test case and implementation.

Workpackage number : WP5 Title: Integration, Validation, Evaluation and Trials Start date or starting event: Month 1 / Year 1 Participant number: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Sum Person-months per participant: 10 18 22 16 27 18 9 18 18 6 0 4 166

Objectives • To propose and demonstrate a convergent and coherent all-IP(v6) network infrastructure able to federate

heterogeneous wireless access networks. • To evaluate Moby Dick Architecture through a testbed including representative applications and access

networks (efficiency, usability, utility). • To integrate and validate software and architecture provide by others workpackages in a specific trial

scenario. • To trial the system in real life environment, providing end-users (students, operators, manufactures) views

on exploitation conditions for the project results. • To create and operate the framework in which the evaluation process can gather the necessary data. Description of work Moby Dick will perform international trials at two different sites: Madrid/Spain and Stuttgart/Germany using real users: SOCRATES-ERASMUS students located in these cities. These trials will be deployed over the Moby Dick framework specified in WP1 and will provide a comprehensive technical-economical evaluation of it. Each trial will be based on a three stage process: define trials and experiments, perform the experiments and evaluate them. Based on trials evaluation, WP5 will provide appropriate feedback to WP1-4. A0501: Definition of Moby Dick Trial Scenarios.

• In this activity, a detail definition of trials will be done based on the work done in WP1-4. Trials will test two different scenarios based on synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous applications (non real time). Synchronous applications will be based on VoIP and telelearning, which will permit exchange information between ERASMUS students and their home university (faculty, co-students) and even to attend remote conferences, lectures and presentations in real time. Asynchronous applications will be based on remote access and will provide ERASMUS information, digital libraries, etc. Based on these trials, the objective of the project will be evaluated in a real scenario.

A0502: First Test and Evaluation Report • In this activity the first Trial will be carried out. This trial will focus on local test of Moby Dick prototype

without external users and will allow to fit all the local equipment of the trials sites and will provide feedback for the WP1-4.

A0503: Second Test and Evaluation Report • The second trial will include unicast applications based on VoIP, telelearning and database access and will

be conducted by real users, SOCRATES-ERASMUS students located in the trial sites (Madrid/Spain and Stuttgart/Germany)

A0504: Trial and Evaluation Report • Final trials will include unicast and multicast applications. Both of them will be based on SOCRATES-

ERASMUS student in a real life environment. As a conclusion of the trial, a comprehensive technical-economical evaluation of Moby Dick framework will be provided.

3. Relationship with the Programme The number of Internet connected handsets or mobile hosts have exceeded the number of fixed to the Internet connected hosts in 2003. At the same time, an increasing number of mobile and portable hosts will require and eventually have integrated interfaces to connect various kinds of access networks, such as cellular networks, wireless LANs, and wired LANs, to be engaged in communications with various desired QoS. In addition to horizontal handover mechanisms (roaming in different cells) established in cellular networks, this multi-access network scenario requires vertical (connection to different types of access networks) handover solutions. To meet these requirements, Moby Dick has developed its uniform IP-convergence architecture for ubiquitous Internet access. IPv6, MIPv6, and AAA are key ingredients of Moby Dick's approach to mobility. QoS and AAA are extremely well suited to provide the European Community an added value and to contribute to policies of the European Commission. IPv6, QoS, mobility and AAA are considered – both at the European level and within the IETF – to be the technologies necessary for ubiquitous access for the next-generation Internet. In addition, they are the technical areas where Europe has a competitive edge over the US – both with respect to influence in the relevant standardisation bodies and with regard to products. Within this context, Moby Dick will contribute to and promote the IST Programme Objectives in several ways: • By establishing a new, IPv6-based convergence architecture for uniform ubiquitous usage of existing

and next generation of heterogeneous wired, wireless, and mobile access technologies to the Internet. • By introducing a selected user community to use the trial infrastructure and to evaluate the

importance of the services enabled by this architecture – thus increasing user demands for the services and the capability of suppliers to meet these demands.

• By leveraging the European success in mobile technology and the related infrastructure deployment, thereby enhancing acceptance of IPv6 and maintaining European leadership in the next generation of mobile and wireless systems, their development and deployment.

3.1 Relationship to Other Projects and Clustering Activities Within the IST-Programme, the project participated in the “System Beyond 3G”-cluster (http://www.cordis.lu/ist/ka4/mobile/beyond3g.htm). It was planned in the beginning to set-up an IPv6 sub-cluster in the framework of the “System beyond 3G”-cluster. The activity was not started, since the focus of the cluster went into more Internet compliant interests and so it was not necessary to double the work. In 2003 Moby Dick representative Hong-Yong Lach representing P08 (Motorola) headed the “System Beyond 3G”-cluster. The project invited other project to present their results as well the project was invited to present the results in other workshops, summits, etc. All workshops and summits are listed later in this report.

4. Major Project Results and Input to Standardisation

4.1 Major Project Result: Overall Architecture The Moby Dick architecture successfully integrated Mobility, QoS and AAA towards an IP dominated mobile Internet platform. The key result of the project is that Mobile IPv6 with the slight extensions as proposed in Moby Dick is able to provide QoA-aware and AAA-supported seamless mobility on heterogeneous network architecture. The Moby Dick architecture clearly showed that the Internet can become a mobile network which goes beyond the support for nomadic use only, as currently supported by WLAN/Mobile IP technologies. Inter-technology handover can be supported easily and though the profile concept of Moby Dick users can be de-coupled from end systems and user mobility concepts can be introduced into such a network without severe problems. A further result is that seamless mobility between administrative domains is still an open issue and was not the key focus of Moby Dick for the following reason: Moby Dick provides a network architecture which provides technical solutions to technical problems. The inter-domain scenario is rather an economical and contractual problem than a technical problem. Here the relation and in turn the business models describing the relationship between two operators are the more critical path and so, this topic is out of the scope of Moby Dick. Further open issues so far are, if the mobile operators really allow the Internet to become mobile and seamlessly available since the Internet lacks of a business model and so there exists no concept how to really earn money. So the Moby Dick consortium can handover this successor-problem to the economists



in order to get feedback about the level of openness this infrastructure can stand in order to generate the revenue required. A further, very important aspect is the missing concept describing the relationship between the network operator and a third party operator creating a service to be consumed by the user. This relationship could bring new requirements to the AAA part of the Moby Dick architecture which has nod been considered so far.

4.2 Major Project Result: TD-CDMA Equipment In the framework of the Moby Dick project, EURECOM's Radio Software Platform has been enhanced to provide the required RRC functionalities in addition to the former UMTS-TDD Layer 1 and Layer 2 features. Through the http://www.wireless3g4free.com/ website, EURECOM will release its implementation of the UMTS/TDD (3GPP) Access Stratum and IPv4/v6 interconnect under a GNU GPL (i.e. for free)

Figure 1: Standardisation Relations Technical Information: Wireless3G4Free.com’s approach is based on the convergence of three technological trends: Collaborative wireless standards (e.g. 3GPP, 802.11), Next Generation Internet Technology (Mobile-IPv6, DiffServ, etc.) and open-source software. The components are combined to provide innovative, cost and spectrally efficient solutions for providing high-end Internet services to mobile users. Specifically, our approach allows for: Advanced signal processing techniques for ensuring high spectral efficiency: • smart antenna processing • iterative coding • multi-user scheduling • higher layers protocols & services (direct interconnection with IPv4 and IPv6 networks and WLAN

systems) • Joint radio resource, mobility and QoS management across different radio access technologies The hardware/software platforms currently run under the RT-Linux real-time operating system using public-domain IPv4 and IPv6 protocol implementations. The software portion can be built from standard Red Hat 7.3 and 8.0 releases of the Linux operating system and currently runs on x86-based processing systems. Low-power embedded solutions are currently under development. The provided solutions cover the following operating modes • Real time processing for wideband signals (e.g. 3G Standards) in the RF Spectrum (currently 1.900

to 1.920GHz) or at Intermediate Frequency (70 MHz) • Recording mode for off-line post-processing (measurement campaigns) • 3GPP Radio Access Network Simulation for Linux clusters The platform currently implements the 3GPP UMTS/TDD high chip rate (3.84 Mchip/s) access stratum protocols with an IP-based interconnection with off-the-shelf 802.11 WLAN solutions.

4.3 Major Project Result: QoS Architecture The QoS Architecture major results can be structure along three main lines:

a) The definition of an operator-driven service concept with practical usage for IP networks. In an operator environment, controlling effectively the resources that are free and what is being used by each user is essential from the Quality of Service point of view. Moreover, this control is also needed from a commercial and AAAC point of view – only paying users may access the network, with the QoS allowed by their profile. Therefore, WP2 developed a service concept that simultaneously allows practical resource control, while complying with the commercial view of a service.

b) The definition of an integrated QoS framework, able to support QoS-aware mobility and AAAC interworking. For feasibility reasons, this framework had to be light, but with extensive flexibility, in order not to constrain the services to be provided by the operators. An IntServ-alike solution does not fit well with the scalability demanded by such an environment, where millions of terminals can be expected. On the other hand, a pure DiffServ approach does not have enough precision in resource control and QoS guarantees. The outcome of these considerations was the development of a scenario defining specific mobility and AAAC messages, and using distributed QoS Brokers to perform Call Admission Control (CAC) per user and per service and resource management. Some of the message flows defined can be found in the next section, and will not be repeated here. The overall control infrastructure will be easily scalable, with proper network design.

c) The creation of a mobility-aware QoS-broker, with standard interfaces for AAAC systems, and operating on the basis of the “customer profile”. The QoS Broker developed is populated with several types of interfaces and functionalities, making it a flexible control tool, able to interoperate with different types of devices, and to support multiple resource management policy strategies:

The QoS Broker developed followed distributed management IP-standards for communications, resorting to the COPS protocol for communication with other devices. The QoS broker is fully flexible, with a set of independent modules:

• A QoS Broker engine, able to perform user and service admission control, and able to keep track of the resources under its domain and manage its QoS domain in an optimised way. The support of different management policies is done by the configuration/complexity of this entity.

• A Virtual Router interface to provide to the QoS Broker engine a common interface, independent of the types of Access Router. Thus the QoS Broker can take decisions with simple generic models for the ARs. This interface is then able to map this generic model into the specifics of each AR.

• A COPS interface for AR configuration and interoperation, able to handle mobility information messages, and to adequately configure the routers according with the QoS engine decisions.

• A COPS interface with the AAAC system for reception of the user profiles and service definitions

• A custom interface with other QoS Brokers, both for mobility management (using context transfer) and detailed network control.

• A custom interface for data collecting to have information on the real network status. This framework and the QoS Broker have been successfully integrated in the Moby Dick infrastructure, and properly tested.

4.4 Major Project Result: Mobility Architecture Fast hand-over prototype: A significant result of the project was the implementation of fast handover in the mobility and integrated prototypes towards seamless mobility. Using just MIPv6, there is quite some delay when the access point (access router) is changed, in the range of up to 10 seconds. This could be significantly reduced using Fast Handover, which uses the make-before-break approach compared to break-before-make of plain MIPv6. Before fast handover was implemented, Fast Handover was compared to using just Mobile IPv6, and it could be shown that it we could expect significant improvements. The following ns-2 simulations done in the project demonstrates the gains we get via Fast Handover regarding latency.



Figure 2: Mobile IPv6 versus Fast Handover Mobile IPv6 Further simulations showed that data loss could also almost be eliminated using Fast Handover. These simulation results led to Moby Dick using this technology for seamless handovers. The prototype confirmed our expectations regarding seamlessness. In addition, it turned out that Fast Handover could nicely be integrated with AAA and QoS to carry context data (user identity, QoS) from the old Access Router to the new Access Router, thus supporting context transfer. Though not yet officially taken up, such results have been discussed at IETF in the Seamoby group, and it such combinations will hopefully be taken up in future. The figure below shows how the message flows integrate context transfer in our implementation of Fast Handover.

Table 1: Fast Handover Signal Flow Explanation The results here have resulted in a major step of our understanding: We may use Fast Handover to achieve the kind of functions in a pure IP-based environments regarding AAA and QoS that we so far only had in traditional circuit-switched networks. Driver and Wireless-LAN-cards: They are not optimised for fast hand-over. Future wireless networks will need to use the wireless LAN (802.11b) infrastructure mode to provide the kind of services that Moby Dick has prototyped. However, the available wireless LAN cards do not allow fast discovery (in infrastructure mode) of new access points while connected. In addition, the layer-2 latency was too high. For these reasons, the ad-hoc mode was chosen for the purposes of the project. The WLAN Linux driver was modified and enhanced to simulate the infrastructure mode. This solution allows the mobile terminal to receive and send data via the access point and, in the meanwhile, to process beacons advertised by other access points. The decision for handovers is based on the signal strength of the received router advertisement. It was the common understanding in the project, that the ad hoc mode is a temporary solution, and that future solutions would use the infrastructure mode provided the issues mentioned above, such as layer-2 latency, as solved by the WLAN card manufacturers. It is expected that upcoming solutions, such as offered by Moby Dick, will motivate WLAN vendors to tackle these problems, which may not be relevant for the current uses of the cards. The solution could lie both in generally improving the functionality and performance of the cards, or by providing specialised WLAN cards for such purposes. MTNM: The MTNM is a prototype of what could be implemented in future multimode terminals (phones or PDAs). It handles user preferences and interactions as well as control access technologies, including handover management. It is also used to synchronise other functionalities on the terminal. The user interface part, the NCP, provides a set of information elements and interactions that should be implemented in a “ready to market” device. It becomes possible for the user to register on the Network and to define preferences in terms of Access Technology to use and handover management strategy. It also provides feedback on the networking conditions (signal levels for instance) and on the ability to trigger a handover manually if the user wants to choose the network to use. The MTNM itself is a prototype of the kind of middleware that could be embedded in a commercial terminal. It controls the network drivers for each access technology, implements a handover algorithm to take decisions on when to perform the handover (based on access technology conditions, but also on user



preferences, and Quality of Service feedbacks). It interacts with all other entities on the mobile terminal (AAA registration software, paging software, in the case of Moby Dick) to synchronize all of them.

4.5 Major Project Result: A4C Architecture Metering to Accounting Adaptation: USTUTT developed an interface which enables an inter-working between the enhanced, IPv6-capable RTFM-based meter to the Diameter Attendant for the final charging purpose. This includes a metering session concept, which has been implemented based on the used meter. Finally, extensive tests have been undertaken proving the overall concept for the message flow from the Meter to the charging database. Charging: The charging process as developed by ETH calculates the price for a given service consumption based on accounting data and the SLA with all key tariff definitions. Within Moby Dick, charging supports the post paid business case and it is session-based. Within each session a user can employ services with different QoS and DSCPs and is able to roam in various domains. The tariff can be based on QoS, volume, session duration, and the domain where the service was consumed. The charging component features a convenient web interface – one for the operators and one for each customer. Users are able to login and view their accumulated charges after the provider has performed the charging process for a pre-defined period, such as a day, a month, or a week. The charges are presented in an aggregated and session-based manner, where all other details are hidden. Upon request, customers can view all accounted for charging details of each session, e.g., the consumed volume or the delivered QoS. The web interface for operators offers a login for several administration services, which customers cannot access. These include amongst others the start of the charging process for customers and sessions as well as the view of detailed customer information and their tariff definitions. Further research on prepaid and content-based charging will be addressed in the Daidalos project. Auditing: Within Moby Dick the concept of SLA (Service Level Agreement) Compliance Auditing has been developed by ETH. This concept goes beyond the proposed extension of the AAAC’s server tasks of simply logging capabilities. It allows a provider to determine whether the agreed service level guarantees are being held or violated. This approach and task will have a positive impact in the future of managing SLAs among providers as well as between providers and customers. The service level guarantees of interest, which have been defined and implemented within Moby Dick, include “Entity Availability Guarantee”, “Guarantee of Successful Registration”, and “Service Request”. In order to transfer the audit trails generated by different and remote loggers to a centralized auditing instance, mainly a provider’s or a third party’s location, a logging framework has been implemented by ETH. Further research on SLA Compliance Auditing will be further carried out by ETH and partners within the Daidalos Project. Profile Decoupling of an User from the Device: Moby Dick followed the key concept of user mobility. This means in contrary to the widely deployed terminal mobility a user and the users privileges and rights, which are generally reflected in a contract between user and operator, are not directly bound to a device or a SIM card inside a device as known in the 2G area. In Moby Dick any user can use any device and via a centralised profile management each user gets his individual access rights. This rights are described in the user profile and are communicated to the appropriate policy points which need the information for the service provisioning. Such a Profile concept has been designed and implemented. The AAA/Diameter framework of Moby Dick then transfers required elements of this profile to the appropriate network nodes. This implies the exchange of information also between administrative domains. Conceptually the user rights could change from administrative domain to administrative domain, however the current implementation does assume that the profile description is valid for all administrative domains involved. DIAMETER Open Source Implementation: The upcoming standard DIAMETER has been used for the support of AAAC functionality in this project. The use of DIAMETER in the project consolidates DIAMETER's position as the candidate for a future standard. Further, DIAMETER application for Mobile IPv6 was developed. This will be used as basis for further contributions to IETF drafts and RFC. A fully functional DAIMETER based AAA infrastructure was designed and implemented in this project. The following parts of the DIAMETER implementation will be released as open source:

• Server functionality including accounting • Diameter base protocol • Diameter application for MIPv6

Integration of WP4 and WP: The details of this integration were fixed. The MAQ (Mobile AAA QoS) model was respected and definitely defined. User and network level management was split between WP4 (user level) and WP2 (network level) and the interactions between them refined. The NVUP part of the user profile and the exact profile transfer to the various identities, including QoSB and MN (for the purposes of MN DiffServ marking software adaptation to user profile) was fixed. Also the NetServices transfer from AAAAC.f to QoSB.f was implemented



Integration of WP4 and WP3: The AAAAC context transfer when a FHO takes place was defined and implemented, along with the stopping of the diameter session in the oAR and the starting of a new diameter session in the nAR. Standards: The upcoming standard DIAMETER has been used for the support of AAAC functionality in this project. The use of DIAMETER in the project consolidates DIAMETER's position as the candidate for a future standard.

4.6 Major Project Result: IP-Paging Architecture Within the framework of the IST Moby Dick project, a concept for IP-based paging support has been specified, implemented and tested. Based on some functional and non-functional requirements, the paging architecture components as well as protocol messages and parameters have been specified in consideration of the design goals. As a result, an IP paging concept has been specified, which integrates modularly with the Mobile-IPv6 platform without being dependent on it. The concept's framework has been discussed within the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). Based on the architecture and protocol concept, protocol message parameters have been specified to allow the integration and operation with the Moby Dick platform and associated access technologies (IEEE802.3, IEEE802.11 and TD-CDMA). A prototype of the paging components has been implemented, which is based on a dedicated Paging Agent node, paging attendant modules, which are to be integrated with individual Access Routers, and a paging module for the mobile terminal, which interfaces efficiently to the MTNM-module to synchronise with other functions (e.g. registration) and to retrieve access related information. Since one of the design goals was to integrate the paging architecture modularly without the need to change existing architecture and protocol components, but to make use of existing functions for the integration, the specification included the use of the Mobile-IPv6 protocol's alternate care-of-address (alt-CoA) registration. This registration support is part of the Mobile-IPv6 protocol specification, but was not available in the protocol implementation used in the Moby Dick project (implementation of Helsinki University of Technology). Hence, some parts of the Open Source Mobile-IPv6 implementation have been extended to implement the alt-CoA registration support. One function of the concept's paging attendants is to allow mapping of the technology independent paging protocol, which is used between the Paging Agent node and individual paging attendants, to technology specific paging on the access links served by individual Access Routers. Since the focus of paging related activities in Moby Dick was on the design of the framework and the common core protocol and less on technology specific paging functions and optimisation, support for integration of the Moby Dick access technologies has been specified for support on IP layer. Mapping to optimised technology specific dormant mode and paging support on access technologies' link-layer is allowed by the concept but is future work. However, efficient mapping and addressing on IP layer has been specified and implemented for IEEE802.3, IEEE802.11 and TD-CDMA. Since TD-CDMA support is integrated with a Radio Gateway, which is physically separated from the respective IP-subnet's associated Access Router, operation between the paging attendant and the Radio Gateway has been specified in a generic way without introducing proprietary protocol messages for control and management purposes. This allows smooth migration to a collocated architecture in the future, which has the Access Router and the TD-CDMA Radio Gateway functions integrated in one physical node representing a TD-CDMA Access Router.



Illustration of how the paging concept integrates with the Mobile-IPv6 platform:

Figure 4: Illustration of the IP paging architecture integrated with a Mobile IPv6 environment. Paging modules: The implementation of all paging components comes with one software package. Re-definition of some default settings in dedicated source files allows control on which functionality the compiled modules should implement. This allows compilation of a Paging Agent module, a paging attendant module or the mobile terminal's paging module. All functional modules have been implemented as kernel-modules. To allow flexible configuration of the paging related settings on individual nodes, a user-space configuration and start-up framework has been implemented, which allows convenient setting of configuration parameters in a configuration file and to run a configuration script, writing the configuration data to the dynamically loaded paging kernel-module through a dedicated device-driver interface. Alternate care-of-address registration support for the Mobile-IPv6 implementation: Following the Mobile-IPv6 protocol specification, the alternate CoA registration support has been implemented as an extension to the Open Source Mobile-IPv6 implementation of Helsinki University of Technology. This had to be done because this protocol function is specified for being used for the efficient integration of the paging concept into the Mobile-IPv6 platform, but is not yet available in official releases of the Mobile-IPv6 Open Source code. The extension for alt-CoA registration support has been made available as a patch to the officially available Mobile-IPv6 release used in Moby Dick. Integration and testing: The paging support is being integrated with the Moby Dick platform. Tests have been performed with regard to a mobile terminal entering dormant mode, moving inside the registered paging area and being paged to re-establish routing states in the network infrastructure to allow routing of data packets to the current location of the reactivated mobile terminal. Tests and enhancing the functionality with regard to the support of multiple paging areas, which allows a dormant mobile terminal to scan for current paging area information and to update the registration with its Paging Agent in case of entering a new paging area while keeping the dormant state, is ongoing and continued in future work. Input to standards organisations: The initial concept and framework for a paging architecture has been proposed to the IETF's Seamoby Working Group, which resulted in the group's decision to take the proposed architecture as base-line for activities in standardizing an IP paging protocol. Since some related work items and open issues for the specification of an IP-based paging architecture and protocol have been indicated to be solved first in the research area before being standardized, the work has been shifted to the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) Micro-Mobility Routing Research Group. Here, we'll continue work by means of driving the activities to get remaining technical issues resolved and providing current and future research results as input.

6. Conclusion, Self Assessment, and Lessons Learnt General: Moby Dick had set itself the ambitious goal of pioneering the integration of mobility, QoS, and AAAC in the spirit of the Internet within a single framework, thereby integrating heterogeneous wired, wireless, and mobile technologies. Within this context Moby Dick considered both, inter-domain and intra-domain scenarios. The project further aimed to implement a demonstrator where this integration will be experimented with real users. The project has been progressing at an adequate rate, and has been able to draw increasingly the attention of the general research community. The increased interactions with IETF and IRTF, the proactive role inside IST – within the Systems Beyond 3G cluster. The project participated in several conferences within Europe and organised four Moby Dick summits in Madrid, Stuttgart and Singapore. Interviews in radio broadcast as well as newspaper articles visualised the project results. The partner from Singapore ensured also visibility in the Asian area. Technical Achievements: With the variety of independent activities in the mobility, QoS, and AAAC areas, as well as the different technical requirements of shared medium technologies such as 802.x and Ethernet on the one hand and TD-CDMA on the other, initial efforts were directed towards resolving conceptual and technological differences. Intense discussions finally resulted in harmonising the “traditional” connection-oriented approach of TD-CDMA and the packet-based, connectionless Internet approach. The independent activities were bundled in the integration phase to an integrated solution. It successfully proved its visibility in Europe by several public presentations, public demonstrations and publications. So the project has achieved a high degree of international visibility – also outside Europe. The business units of the involved partners have taken a strong interest in the results of the project. The project has been able to resolve a number of difficult issues:

• A common, agreed architecture for the Mobile Terminal and the companion piece, the radio gateway, which is directly attached to the access router.

• Redefinition and agreement on important scenarios, e.g. for registration, seamless hand-over for intra domain hand-over and Mobile IPv6 for inter-domain handover because of the delay for AAA and QoS messaging.

• Definition of exemplary QoS classes based on the Differentiated Services approach to demonstrate the flexibility of the architecture with respect to services which will be supported.

• Implementations for registration, intra-domain hand-over based on the seamless hand-over approach, inter-domain hand-over based on Mobile IPv6 including automatic registration, QoS Broker messaging, AAAC in including Auditing messaging, control and visualisation for the user as well for the operator of the billing information, IP paging on a basic strategy (database without any intelligence for the paging area identification).

• The integration of all implementations was a huge challenge since the places of development were distributed over whole Europe and Singapore. However, it was successfully solved for most components.

• Establish a good visibility and accepted expertise in the area of IP paging standardisation via partner P02 (NEC).

In contrast to the original plans of the project, a full integration of TD-CDMA could not be achieved due to delays in the implementation of related hardware and software. While IP-based connectivity and mobility management were integrated, the QoS modules and the AAA functionality is not (yet) part of the TD-CDMA set-up. Security and privacy have been identified as very important open issues. These were not addressed in the project proposal and we relayed on existing open source implementations. The IP security infrastructure is not applicable for a mobile operator architecture. Time Schedule: The integration as well as the trial suffered on a huge delay since not all implementations could be finished in the time schedule. As already mentioned, the fact that the development of the modules was distributed over several locations, some delay were produced since partners had to travel for debugging to the trial sites, especially to Stuttgart/Germany. Some delay for the TD-CDMA-equipment occurred because of missing hardware components from third parties.



However, the integration was completed successfully but delayed, with some impacts to the real user trial, which had to be shorter than expected. Lessons Learnt: The integration of different modules, although accounted for with manpower and time in the original project proposal, turned out to be a real challenge. This was taken into account in the specification of a successful follow-up project proposal (IP DAIDALOS in FP6), where integration will be considered as a major requirement from the beginning, and even more resources will be spent on this aspect.
