User in control: the ULOOP approach
0 likes40 views
The document discusses the ULOOP project, which aims to develop a user-centric wireless local loop architecture that puts users in control. It provides an overview of the project, including its motivation to create new opportunities for internet stakeholders and end-users through low-cost wireless architectures. The key areas it focuses on are trust management, cooperation incentives, and security to address current concerns around privacy, liability, and anonymity in user-centric networks.
