A future access network architecture for providing personalized context-aware services with sensors

Abstract

We propose a future access network architecture that can provide advanced context-aware services by securely delivering diverse kinds of dynamically changing sensor information about specific localities or private individuals. The architecture features individual and group management of peer-to-peer-based secure connections established between terminals and servers. It implements multi-access functions that enable terminals to deliver sensor information to multiple different application servers and multi-service functions that enable the terminals to receive information-provision services from those servers. © Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering 2010.
