Description du projet
Future Networks
The LEXNET project addresses key factors of human exposure to electromagnetic fields(EMF) induced by wireless telecommunication networks and "low exposure"technologies. The wireless communication systems that are nowadays intensively usedhave induced fears to the general population about possible health impact. To date noadverse health effect has been established but recently the International Agency forResearch on Cancer has classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possiblycarcinogenic to humans. Such context may curb the general public from using innovativewireless systems. The goal of the LEXNET project is to investigate technologies andarchitectures to reduce the total human exposure without compromising the user'sperceived quality in the frequency bands used for cellular and wireless local areanetworks (700 MHz to 6 GHz). EMF exposure is often assessed with access points anddevices considered separately. The real exposure induced by a network requires assessingthe averaged exposure encountered during human activities (working, travelling, etc.) andmust consider jointly the up- and downlinks of different systems. The project will definea suitable index of exposure (Iexp), which will consider exposure as a composition ofsituations encountered in various scenarios (e.g. percentages at home, travelling, etc).The acceptability of such index will be discussed with stakeholders. To reduce the Iexpof existing and future networks, the LEXNET project will analyse different options (e.g.radio components, interference management, power control, cell discontinuoustransmission, network selection and network nodes reconfiguration). The findings will bedemonstrated through a deployment in a smart city and validation platforms for proof ofconcept. The project will contribute to scientific knowledge and initiate a specificsymposium to discuss with stakeholders such as national authorities in charge of theseaspects (e.g. CEPT, ANFR and OfCom).
