An Overview of Activities on Wireless Networks in the European Project COST 257 (invited paper)

The paper summarises the work on wireless networks inside the COST 257 project, entitled “Impact of new services on the architecture and performance of broadband networks” and chaired by Prof. Tran-Gia of the Technical University of Wurzburg (Germany). This project was established for 4 years (1996–2000) and collected the researchers from 16 European countries represented by 32 organisations. Its topics are modelling, performance, network planning and analysis of present and future wireless systems.
