current state-of-the-art
 develop innovative core technology.
• The developed chipset/receiver shall take
into account the typical constraints of
mass market applications, such as power
consumption, size, weight and cost.

6. Innovation (Fundamental) Elements
• Multipath mitigation in urban environment
• Interference detection and mitigation
• Signals of Opportunity
• Power optimisation
• Multi-frequency (at least E1+E5a/b)
MANDATORY
MUST BE IN
ANY PROPOSAL

7. Other Innovation Elements

• Augmentation sensors and data fusion
• Smart antenna
• OS Authentication
• …
OPTIONAL KEY TO AWARD

8. Building Blocks
The amount of the proposed elements
(“building blocks” in the Call text) and their
innovation level shall be a key element to
assess the proposal against the
AWARD criteria
