All Rights Reserved © Alcatel-Lucent 2006, ##### General presentation  Develop algorithms and solutions necessary for the deployment of a network of "small cells" (SCN for Small Cells Network).  The theoretical studies target  define models necessary for the description of radio channels & set up algorithms exploiting the diversity of these networks (users, channels, interference).  The originality and the ambition of the project  Exploit interference between cells for an optimal use of radio resources.  The algorithms  based on the most advanced developments in terms of distribution, game theory or reinforcement learning.  Architecture and the algorithms necessary for the proper functioning of the collection network of a SCN will be provided.  Validation  simulations and industrial development platform  develop a prototype of a base station of SCN.  This experimental approach will validate the industrial value of the concept of SCN.  The consortium is composed of two major industrial groups in the world of telecommunications, 3 PME and 6 research organizations (public and private).
