Ambient Networks is a large-scale Integrated Project funded by the EU. The project is headed by Ericsson and involves about 40 partners. The first two-year project phase was ended 2005, and the second ended 2007. The overall purpose of the project is to build a new mobile network architecture, beyond that of 3G. The keyword is network composition, and the project aims to build mechanisms for composing networks ranging from personal area networks to mobile and home networks with fixed infrastructures.
The main contribution from SICS is the Node Identity Internetworking Architecture, which can be described as an extension to HIP, the Host Identity Protocol.
