LiveCity aims to empower citizens of a city to interact with each other in a more productive, efficient & socially useful way, by using high quality v2v over the Internet.

LiveCity is a pure technology integration trial, aiming to offer advanced services to over 2,750 users in 5 European Cities, via the implementation of selected pilot actions.

LiveCity envisages that the Future Internet will include a Right of Way for a user’s traffic without interference from unwanted traffic; it combines network infrastructure(s) with a beta version of the Virtual Path Slice (VPS) controller and existing off-the-shelf video components.

A Modern Infrastructure Scheme

Essential Objectives

Create a city-based Living Lab with an associated ecosystem. Implement public service use cases, by engaging users at the outset and by putting local organizations in driving roles. Pilot innovative v2v services and/or related applications and

conduct user-centric evaluation experiments. Collect KPIs from embedded users and evaluate services in

conjunction with key stakeholders and public service operators. Disseminate results to public service network operators and city authorities in Europe, inter-alia. Help accelerate live interactive high definition v2v mass market

take-up across Europe by several potential means, also including possibilities for establishing private-public partnerships.

Establishment of a “Living-Lab”-like Infrastructure for the implementation of selected pilots with diverse user communities, by sharing common service platforms.

Effort for a “common and interoperable solution” with the aim of reducing cost and having high reachability.

The LiveCity experimental network is a federation of existing test-beds and networks, creating a Living-Lab Internet Federation which supports a suitable Right of Way.

LiveCity is a “user community” driven initiative. It embeds city-based user communities which are in a “symbiotic” relationship with the foundation technology.

by using a dedicated federation of networks. Backbone connectivity will use a mixture of

interconnection methods with a “hub” in the city of Frankfurt, creating a “real market”-oriented

number of components (i.e.: video devices and applications).

Four network types are planned to be used to access network users: xDSL, WiMAX, HSPA, LTE. LiveCity builds a network using ultrafast wireless and wireline technologies.
