  4. Tactical Military > $10B JTRS/TCA Market for DoD Network-Centric Warfare (NCW) Emergency Services (Police, Fire, Rescue, Etc.) Market (post-9/11) will materialize; Ex.: PacketHop demo in Bay Area Disaster Relief / Humanitarian Operations / News Reporting WLANs augmented by commercial SATCOM (Inmarsat/Iridium) Space / Planetary Exploration Presidential manned space initiative Industrial Controls Factory automation, maintenance, safety, and security Inter/Intra Home Mesh Networking Implemented by Rooftop (among others) in the late 90s “Now Cliched” Application Spaces Are Relevant No Application Has Achieved Mass Market Status, Yet…

  5. Intra is now happening for nomadic users (because someone can make $) Fixed hotspots - coffee shops, hotels, airports, etc. Mobile hotspots - Trains, planes, buses, and ships Can do hotspots at home, but if not nomadic, wires are better Data rate, reliability, security, etc. How might the mass market develop for Inter/Intra develop? The “Cringely” example: School fund raiser creates a useful mesh density Up front cost for infrastructure but then free “dial-up”-like performance Technological/sociological roadblocks still exist Security Resource sharing (fairness) Legal/Law enforcement Will regulatory/competitive forces prevent development of mass market? Does sufficient unlicensed spectrum exist to support? Do dynamic spectrum sharing approaches address this challenge? This approach will be resisted by the current service providers Not a problem if there is no incumbent/infrastructure, which is the case for many areas Inter/Intra Home Mesh Networking

  6. Mobile, Wireless (Kids) Gaming • Hand Held Gaming Device • Affordable ($100s) • Hardened for use by kids • Standalone as well as able to attach to infrastructure (hot spots, etc.) • Lower Bar for Success for (Kids) Gaming • Sufficient unlicensed spectrum exists (No .ppt or web pages files) • No incumbent to overcome; a new (but adjacent) market for all players • “Real” security is not an issue (maybe hacking is part of the game?) • A Commercial Market (PS2/XBox-like) Would Lower Cost to $100s • DoD wants this Now for every dismount but can’t afford it (batteries) • Other applications and markets would develop

  7. Default Media Access Control (MAC) approaches (e.g. 802.11x) are inefficient when used in Mesh/MANET contexts vice the AP/cellular context for which they were designed Hidden terminal/exposed node; QoS/congestion; etc. So why does everyone use it? Its cheap! The MAC is embedded in the cheap radio and can’t be modified very easily The MAC challenge has received insufficient attention in comparison to the PHY and routing challenges Is it a EE/PHY/Radio problem or is it a CS/NET/Router problem An integrated/cross-layer approach is preferred The community will have to move away from stochastic (e.g. RCDA) approaches to deterministic approaches (e.g. TDMA) for QoS Timing is now free from GPS Needs attention in standards bodies which traditionally are routing focused Stepping on My Technical Soapbox…
