Abstract—Future wireless networking beyond 3G will provide nomadic users with context-aware, adaptive services. Contextawareness including context information coordination and management may increase system productivity as well as provide an efficient approach for personalizing network services. Ambient networks are aimed at enabling the co-operation of heterogeneous networks on demand, transparently to the potential users, and without the need for preconfiguration or offline negotiation between network operators. Context-aware networking enables new types of applications and services in ambient environments. This paper discuses the approach taken by authors to incorporate context-awareness into ambient networking concepts.
