User-centric Networks (UCNs)
UCN Today
Infrastructure or mesh based
Complement(1 hop) existing
infrastructures
Wireless link sharing within 1 hop
1 user responsible for direct sharing to
N others
“virtual” users on a “virtual
operator “database
Current Security Concerns
SOME Privacy
At home, normally WPA2
Eduroam: privacy only on the wireless link
Enterprise: VPN
Basic security available for micro-provider
No security for outsiders
Liability Issues
Who owns the responsibility in case of
wrongdoing?
How can the provider distinguish?

ULOOP addresses
cooperation incentives
both from an Internet
end-user and operator
perspective. ULOOP
intends to explore
incentives for good
behavior
Trust management in ULOOP
is the basis for the notions
concerning self-organization
and user-centricity

Resource management
optimization is a key aspect to
pursuit. ULOOP has as purpose
to assist in developing robust
and high debit wireless local-
loops in a way that meets
current broadband access
technologies debit as possible.
The user is expected to be able to cooperate
based on a perceived QoE and also on
individual expectations. The network will most
likely provide a dissimilar resource allocation.

In ULOOP handover support is
focused in attempting to mimic
the handover operation
available e.g. in cellular
environments..
Social mobility modeling is an aspect that shall assist
in deriving algorithms and functionality that can
anticipate the way nodes move based on analysis and
tracking of node movement through time..

Community Interaction Support
considers ways to optimize the
network operation and hence
network resources management
based on the fact that users are
normally placed in ULOOP
communities.
Offloading in ULOOP is addressed from the perspective that any intelligent offloading
mechanism can be taken care of (also controlled) in non-ULOOP systems. An
example is the guarantee that ULOOP nodes integrate capabilities that allow them to
support offloading e.g. from cellular networks to Wi-Fi based networks
