项目摘要

This proposal seeks to build a new collaborative research study involving academic groups in the UK, Italy and China (mainland and Hong Kong), in collaboration also with industry, to compare and contrast the development of consumer information services around the world, and on that basis determine likely requirements for next generation LAN infrastructures. Using this as a framework it will then seek to research network models suitable for widespread use, developing an innovative network demonstrator.We have sought through this proposal to draw together a group of experts who are able to address the problem in a coordinated multidisciplinary manner, taking account of different approaches to the commercial delivery of information services and their use around the world, in a new manner not available to our knowledge in the UK. We believe that the collaboration will therefore bring much added value to the participant's individual research programmes. At the technical level, the group has complementary expertise in areas ranging from materials and device physics, through systems, to network design and service delivery.The project will seek to develop multi-layered technical roadmaps and determine likely technology limits for the networks under consideration. When sufficient information is gathered by all partners on service requirements, we will develop a range of possible architectures for further study, and identify potential devices and sub-systems suitable for deployment. In order however to focus this activity, we wish also to develop a novel architecture which has been devised to have a form similar to conventional passive optical networks, but in a form which could potentially be commoditised in a manner similar to enterprise requirements. Direct communications from the central exchange to the user without intermediate switching will be provided, a key to future service requirements. However in this system, we propose to introduce advanced coding techniques used in enterprise LANs which allow lower cost and ultimately uncooled components to be adopted. The success of the project can be expected to result in new projects, (i) in exploiting the research in collaboration with industry (where service requirements can be expected to grow), (ii) in new disciplines, such as in the biomedical fields where the concepts will become increasingly important and where our collaborators also have activities and (iii) in researching the fundamental issues surrounding the components and networks themselves.

该提案旨在建立一项新的合作研究，涉及英国，意大利和中国（大陆和香港）的学术团体，也与行业合作，比较和对比全球消费者信息服务的发展，并以此为基础确定了下一代LAN基础设施的可能要求。然后将其作为框架，然后将寻求研究适合广泛使用的网络模型，开发创新的网络演示者。我们通过该建议寻求将一群能够以协调的多学科方式解决该问题的团队，并以不同的方式交付信息服务及其在世界上的商业交付方式，以新的方式来解决我们的知识，以使我们的知识在我们的知识中获得新的知识。因此，我们认为合作将为参与者的个别研究计划带来很多额外的价值。在技术层面上，该小组在材料和设备物理，通过系统到网络设计和服务交付方面具有互补的专业知识。该项目将寻求开发多层技术路线图，并确定正在考虑的网络的可能技术限制。当所有合作伙伴就服务要求收集足够的信息时，我们将开发一系列可能的架构以进行进一步研究，并确定适合部署的潜在设备和子系统。但是，为了集中精力，我们还希望开发一种新型的体系结构，该架构的形式与传统的被动光网络相似，但形式有可能以类似于企业要求的方式进行商品化。将提供从中央交易所与用户的直接通信，而无需提供中间交换，这是未来服务要求的关键。但是，在此系统中，我们建议介绍企业LAN中使用的高级编码技术，以允许采用较低的成本并最终采用未冷却的组件。可以预期，该项目的成功会导致新项目，（i）在与行业合作（可以期望服务需求增长）中利用这项研究，例如在新学科中，例如在生物医学领域中，这些概念将变得越来越重要，并且我们的合作者还在研究围绕组合和网络本身的基本问题和（iii）。
