DEMON

Cellular networks have been continuously reshaping communication in our society, through the rapid evolution of standards, products, and use cases. However, the careful planning and deployment strategies, implemented by mobile operators in order to provide coverage and data services to users, were constants during all these decades. But recent evolutions in terms of communication equipment miniaturization, network virtualization and autonomous vehicles are challenging this vision. In this context, the DEMON project proposes a major evolution of the cellular network architectures, by using mobile base stations. The main objective of the DEMON project is to provide dedicated solutions for this new architecture, demonstrating the advantages of a self-deployable approach, detecting key challenges in this new paradigm and addressing these challenges
