SRA BCS goal
To provide the technologies for wide-ranging, congestion-free, energy-efficient, versatile and self-organising communication networks which can provide a wide variety of services, and possess the capabilities for autonomously matching network resources to user demands
by elaborating the themes
Wideband communication techniques (radio, photonics)
Self-organised adaptive radio spectrum utilisation techniques
Format-transparent ultra-fast signal transport and routing (photonics, radio over fibre)
Energy efficiency ( ‘green ICT’ )

BCS workplan*
close co-operation with industry, and between university groups (joint lab experiments, traineeships, re-education, …)
joint initiatives for national (SmartMix, Freeband, IOP, …) and international (FP7, …) projects
alignment of research and education activities
“3TU Telecom overleg”* as stated in NIRICT Kick-off meeting, Utrecht, Mar. 22, 2007

Achievements – joint research
Co-operation of BCS partners in Dutch programmes: Freeband Impulse projects(AIRLINK, MGDM, TUC,
OTDM, …) Freeband Main projects (WiComm, Broadband
Photonic Access, AAF) IOP GenCom projects
(radio-over-fibre in-home networks, multimode fibre access networks, Future Home Networks, MIMO in a mass market, SiGiSpot, …)
SmartMix MEMPHIS
Successful!
but NOT in European programmes FP6, FP7 (exception: PANAMA in Catrene)

Achievements – cooperation with industry
Freeband AAF
PON
λ – Router
FlexPON
enabling a flexible on-demand capacity offering
Freeband BBPA
silicon 1.68mm x 1.78mm2
60 GHz power amp/antenna
Freeband WiComm

Future plans SRA BCS
Start co-operation in education; exchange lecturers? Acting jointly in international research programmes Continuing/extending co-operation in national
programmesbut
notwithstanding excellent achievements in previous programmes (Freeband, IOP GenCom) + spinoff to national industry, physical layer research seems to get forgotten in new programmes (cf. FES), strategy organisations (ICT Regie), and strategy documents (cf. Masterplan ICT)
ICT should become ICT again !!!
