Description of Activities

 The objective is to present LoRa mesh networks to the IRTF GAIA WG of the IETF. GAIA seeks technologies to connect the unconnected world, and with IRTF GAIA as a vehicle, we seek to start the standardisation activity of this new technology. 

Fellow's country
Spain
Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
The contribution made within this fellowship adds value to the development of LoRa mesh network technology. SMEs may then feel more confident in adopting the technology.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
The technology provides a permanent low-cost and low-energy routed multi-hop communication network with moderate data rates. LoRa mesh networks allow a new kind of distributed IoT applications in the long range IoT layer. One of the application areas of LoRa mesh networks is the emerging field of distributed embedded machine learning. LoRa mesh networks are not yet standardised. To initialise standardisation, we will introduce the LoRaMesh networks as a design and reference implementation.

Nicolae Paladi

Description of Activities

Through this fellowship, I am contributing to shape the standards around next-generation secure computing infrastructure. We are on the verge of a new paradigm where the security of the computing infrastructure is endorsed by hardware features and ensures protection of data at rest, in transit, and in use.

Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)
Trusted execution environments (TEEs) allow deploying code and data in a separate, secure segment of computing platforms. Standardised security assessment and provisioning of configuration and personalisation information to Trusted execution environments (TEEs) can be a key contributor to more secure services and an enabler for new products and services.

Marcello Caleffi

Description of Activities

I contribute to developing new standards on the quantum counterpart of the classical Internet Protocol, defined within IETF RFC 791 standard and following standards.
 

Fellow's country
Italy
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
The adoption of standardised classical communication protocols significantly accelerates the scalability of quantum networks. As quantum technologies advance, the ability to seamlessly integrate new quantum devices into existing networks becomes crucial. Standardised protocols provide a foundation for the consistent and reliable integration of diverse quantum resources, paving the way for the widespread adoption of quantum technologies across various applications and industries.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
Rapid advancements in quantum computation, communication and a recent surge in QIPC startups are reshaping the landscape for the European innovation. Initiatives like the European Quantum Flagship, alongside global R&D programs, are channeling billions of euros into developing breakthrough quantum solutions. SMEs, long a cornerstone of the European industry, are now poised to harness quantum standards for critical communication infrastructures, including qubit development, advanced encryption, and network interoperability. These standards, including QRNG standards, will further boost state-of-the-art cybersecurity, laying the foundation for a future quantum internet, driving sustainable techno-economic growth, and ensuring that European SMEs and society remain competitive in a rapidly evolving global market.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
The work of the IETF ROLL WG significantly impacts European SMEs by developing internationally recognised open standards, such as RPL. RPL presents multiple open-source implementations has been tested through extensive simulations and continuous evaluations. Also, RPL meets all their required capabilities, such as energy-efficient mechanisms, which are pivotal for sustainable growth.
Moreover, the continuous enhancements by the ROLL WG are vital for the evolution and adaptation of new use cases pertinent to the European context. These improvements ensure robust interoperability and adherence to security standards, both critical for SMEs operating in the dynamic European market. This commitment to excellence and relevance is applied in the standard reviews carried out within the IETF Directorates, such as IoT, Routing, and General-Area sectors. Such endeavours underscore our dedication to supporting European SMEs' technological advancement and operational efficiency.

draft-contreras-alto-service-edge-04 Use of ALTO for Determining Service Edge

Service providers are starting to deploy and interconnect computing capabilities across the network for hosting network functions and applications. In distributed computing environments, both computing and topological information are necessary in order to determine the more convenient infrastructure where to deploy such a service or application. This document proposes an initial approach towards the use of ALTO to provide such information and assist the selection of appropriate deployment locations for services and applications.

draft-ietf-mops-ar-use-case-04Media Operations Use Case for an Augmented Reality Application on Edge Computing Infrastructure

This document explores the issues involved in the use of Edge Computing resources to operationalize media use cases that involve Extended Reality (XR) applications. In particular, it discusses those applications that run on devices having different form factors and need Edge computing resources to mitigate the effect of problems such as a need to support interactive communication requiring low latency, limited battery power, and heat dissipation from those devices. The intended audience for this document are network operators who are interested in providing edge computing resources to operationalize the requirements of such applications.

IETF - RCF8105Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) Ultra Low Energy (ULE)

This document specifies how to map IPv6 over DECT ULE inspired by [RFC4944], [RFC6282], [RFC6775], and [RFC7668].
Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) Ultra Low Energy (ULE) is a low-power air interface technology that is proposed by the DECT Forum and is defined and specified by ETSI. The DECT air interface technology has been used worldwide in communication devices for more than 20 years. It has primarily been used to carry voice for cordless telephony but has also been deployed for data-centric services.
