TITLE:
IOTA and GAMMA:
Two Systems Projects for 3G Wireless Data Services
ABSTRACT:
In this talk I will present two systems projects for 3G wireless data
services. The first project is called IOTA (Integration of Two Access
technologies). Its goal is to integrate the two important yet complementary
wireless access technologies: 3G for wide area and 802.11 (aka Wi-Fi)
for local area. We have built a new network element called IOTA gateway
and a multi-interface mobility client that works with the gateway. Using
them we have been demonstrating seamless handoffs between a 3G network
and an 802.11 network. The second project is called GAMMA, which stands
for General Architecture for Multi-Media Adaptation. Its objective is
to build a content-adaptation server for on-demand transcoding of multimedia
data for wireless applications. The GAMMA system has a novel architecture
that it can accommodate a broad spectrum of third-party transcoding utilities
for video, image, audio, presentation, document, etc. In this talk, I
will present the motivation, challenges, design, implementation, and evaluation
of the two projects.
