Agder Mobility Lab (AML) was established in July 2005 and is part of Mobile Communication Networks Group at HIA's site in Grimstad, Norway.

Our ambition is to innovate in the area of mobile networks and services for mobile devices, and to combine short-range communications with support by operators, e.g., for reachability, identity management, and provisioning.

Areas of interest:

• Mobile network architectures and protocols
• Short Range Communications
• Resource Awareness & Discovery
• Wireless residential networking & services
• Mobile terminal evolution
• SIP/IMS
• IP independent mobile routing (future area)

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frank Reichert

Prof. Frank Reichert has been working for over 20 years on technology and strategies for fixed and wireless communication systems both on national and international level.

Since July 2005 he is with HiA (Høgskolan i Agder) in Norway, undertaking research in wireless communication networks and services. Current cooperations include a project with Ericsson on wireless residential communications.

From 1995 he was with Ericsson Sweden, guiding investigations on, e.g., Future Service Layer Architectures, Wireless Internet technologies, and 3G applications and terminals. Assignments included creating and managing European Research projects (e.g. EUREKA Subproject PRO-COM, ACTS OnTheMove).

Frank established Ericsson Cyberlab Singapore in 1999, focusing on user centric, ethnographic application and terminal design, as well as rapid prototyping of new HW/SW products exhibited at fairs like CeBIT 2001 and COMDEX (e.g. Ericsson Cordless WebScreen, Delphipad, Nanorouter). He was board member for Singapore CWS (Centre for Wireless Communications). He has been working as an expert, evaluator and auditor for the European Commission in industrial R&D frameworks such as RACE, ACTS, 5FP, 6FP, and Celtic Calls 1-3.

Dr. Reichert holds a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Aachen University of Technology, Germany. He has published about 50 papers at international conferences on the mobile technologies.
 

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Frank Li

Frank Li holds a Ph.D. degree from the Department of Telematics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). He worked at UniK – University Graduate Center in Oslo as a senior researcher before he joins the Agder Mobility Lab.

He is mainly interested in wireless networks and mobile systems, especially ad hoc and mesh networks, including routing protocols, MAC mechanisms, IP and transport layer issues, cross-layer design, QoS, traffic engineering, and performance evaluation of various communication networks.

During the past few years, he has been a main participant for several Norwegian research projects and an IST FP6 project, ADHOCSYS, which is financed by the European Commission under the strategic objective "Broadband for All". Frank has more than 40 publications, in the majority of which he is the first author.

He has served as a reviewer for various international journals and conferences, including IEEE Transactions on Communications, IEEE Communications Magazine, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, The Handbook of Computer Networks (John Wiley & Sons), Elsevier International Journal Simulation Practice and Theory (SIMPRA), IEEE GLOBECOM, IEEE ICC, IEEE VTC, IEEE WCNC, IEEE ISWCS, IST Mobile & Wireless Summit, European Conference on Parallel Computing (Euro-Par), International Conference on Communications in Computing (CIC), EuroNGI Conference on Next Generation Internet Networks, etc.

He is also interested in standardization activities within IETF MANET, W-OSPF, IEEE 802.11s etc.
