UCLA
WING group conducts research in wireless networking, mobile systems, and
network security. Our focus is on design, implementation and
experimentation of protocols, algorithms and systems for wireless data
networks. The goal is to build high-performance and dependable
networking solutions for the wireless Internet.
Our
recent focus has been on the networking technology that enables
dependable online services on smartphone devices. The technical approach we
take is through adapting the current cloud service platform to mobile
devices. To this end, three critical component technologies have to work in
concert: data center-based server cloud operating in the back end that
offers streamlined management and online services, high-speed wireless
access to the cloud on the wired Internet from smartphones, and new
services enabled by the mobile cloud.
A list of recent ongoing projects is as follows:
·
Ultra-High-Speed Wireless Access (joint effort with SLA and
others):
o
RRAA: Robust Rate Adaptation for Wi-Fi
