How can a Living Lab facilitate research and accelerate innovation EUNICE 2010, 30 June 2010 Thomas Jelle CEO Wireless Trondheim Assistant Professor Department of Telematics, NTNU What is a “Living Lab” Def. Living Lab: a new research paradigm integrating both • a user centred multidisciplinary research approach • a user community driven innovation Keywords • Open innovation • User driven innovation Service Concept Customers for Livinglabbing Methodology OUDI Awareness & culture Livinglabbing projects Livinglabbing Service concept services Living Lab Expertise Co-development with users Technology and Infrastructure Organisation Pilot USERS Community Wireless Trondheim Living Lab - background Create a world-class incubator laboratory for research and development within wireless technologies, products and services Make Trondheim and NTNU more attractive to students, researchers and technology-based businesses Cooperation between private and public partners Wireless Trondheim Living Lab Cooperation between NTNU and Wireless Trondheim, that consist of 3 parts • Service research and development lab • Test of services in controlled environment with invited users • Tools and framework to perform research and tests • Street and Roof Lab (ITS Test Site Norway) • Wireless Trondheim Live Network Street laboratory /ITS Test site 0 1 • 15 street stations along the main 2 road to the city (E6) including • Large cabinets • Fiber connection • Antenna masts • Power • GPS • Industrial PCs (CVIS ver.) 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 • Unique test field in Europe 10 11 12 Uninett’07 13 Uninett’07 Fiber to the Roof – FTTR and Gigabit to the wall FTTR (5 loc) Ethernet to the walls (50 loc) Antenna masts Climate chambers Power/PoE Unlimited backhaul capabilities for testing of new radio technologies on The best spots in Trondheim Wireless Trondheim Live Network Citywide laboratory with real users in real environment Wi-Fi infrastructure covering downtown of Trondheim – 130 access points • Coverage in Trondheim city's buildings (around 350 access points) Geographical location information on every user and equipment with Wi-Fi High capacity network • • 10-40 Mbit/s throughput for each AP Fiber or radio backhaul Mobility Around 4000 unique users a month • consisting of early adopters- young people and students – free access Wireless Trondheim Living Lab a playground for R&D - Sounds cool! - Does it work??? 0 1 CVIS EU IP 6FP - CVIS COMM Equipment 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Uninett’07 13 Cooperative Vehicle-Infrastructure System (CVIS) CCTV for the Police – Mobile WiMAX vs Wi-Fi Gunnerus-bibliokteket Mobile WiMAX Technology Sector capacity Radius in city centers Cost pr cell Cost pr cell – upgrade – new LTE 3G site LTE ~50 Mbit/s 250 m 80.000 € 175.000 € Wi-Fi ~22 Mbit/s 75 m 6.000 € 6.000 € Friend Radar Friend Radar Tested among 24 pupils in the upper secondary school on the iTouch Not a success • Limited use, not because of the service itself but because of lack of coverage where the pupils spent their time • 3 users found it very useful(!) Lesson learned • the service have to work everywhere if not the users won’t use it • Usability more important than privacy Sky ID A solution for authenticating guests/unknown users in wireless networks (WLAN) Background • • Today guest users are often not authenticated (open networks, common username or password) EUs Data Retention Directive state that networks owner must have control on who is using their network Sky ID is developed to use peoples existing IDs for authentication e.g cell phone number Delivered as a Software as a Service on top of any WLAN without need for resources for administration, support or maintenance for the network owner Sky ID Sky ID Solution tested on 100.000 users Feedback used to optimize user experience and reduce support • Systematic work to identify and reduce cause of faults – categories of 0,1 – 0,01 % Commercialised through Sky Labs ltd, currently implemented at 10 customers with thousands of users QoE in Wireless Networks How is the user experiencing my network? Network status is ok, but the user is complaining… Today’s systems for monitoring infrastructure status doesn’t include the end user Solution? Adding sensors simulating demanding users Sensors constantly checking • Bandwidth, latency, client assosiation, client authentication, DHCP, DNS • Sensors monitoring, documenting and reporting end user experience QoE in Wireless Networks Cityguide Started as a historical city guide http://www.trondheimsbilder.no/b City & Campusguide Finding resources and places on Campus or in the City using location information Energy saving LILAN, Trans-National Living Lab Pilot • Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden & Lithuania Proposed pilot: Smart Grid • Industry partners including SIMENS and SMART CITY program Smart Grid - problem Smart Grid – solution 1 Smart Grid - solution 2 Wireless Trondheim Living Lab - results Activity last 3 years • Projects involving 250+ Master students and PhDs • R&D projects local, national and international • Total budgets of over 20 mill € • Increased innovation and cooperation between private and public sector - 10+ projects involving the municipalities of Trondheim • Several projects with promising results • 2 new companies established Leasons learned Including users - find bottlenecks early in the project Increased influx of ideas and resources by involving users Feedback from users have identified new challenges and new research topics Feedback from users important for evaluating GO/NO-GO Summary: Accelerate innovation, reduce risk, feedback for R&D More information… www.wirelesstrondheim.no http://research.idi.ntnu.no/trimaks [email protected]
