1 Linda Doyle & Tim Forde CTVR Clouds on the Horizon

2 some points I would like to make during this talk network ownership models change continuously 2. emerging technologies (e.g. cognitive radio, cognitive networks, dynamic spectrum access, cloud services) and new ways of thinking will cause even more change 3. the operator mediated network as we know it will be a thing of the past as new and surprising mediators come on the scene 4. the point of differentiation between one service provider and another may be in their ability to efficiently construct a network to fulfil user demands, from a set of discrete, distributed and variously owned resources

3 NEXT PICS MEANT TO SHOW CHANGING OWNERSHIP FROM MONOLITHIC TO INCREASINGLY SPLINTERED OSCILATING FUNCTIONALITY IN AND OUT OF BASESTATIONS, CORE, CLOUD, USER...ETC.

10 cognitive radio ORIENT OBSERVE URGENT IMMEDIATE LEARN PLAN ACT Outside World DECIDE Not just for enabling DSA. Also for enabling selfarchitecting systems

11 The cloud is influencing everything. Storage and processing there. Split browsers. Basestation functionality there? Shared ownership. Small and big resource bundles. New economies of scale??
