The main objective of the Action is to increase the knowledge on future advanced Multiservice Wireless Networks (MWNs). Special attention is given to Quality of Service and related aspects in both access networks and core networks in the presence of mixed multimedia traffic. To accomplish this, new analytical tools, software implementations and prototypes have to be developed and validated. Four broad areas encompass different interrelated aspects for future MWNs. In particular, important research tasks to be addressed are: the analysis of the impact of multi-class traffics on network design and dimensioning; the definition of techniques to provide adequate QoS differentiation among traffic classes; the identification of new network planning criteria to cope with the integration of heterogeneous traffic flows; the definition of new services able to provide the requested multimedia contents to users on the move.
