  1. Georgia Tech Broadband Institute ECE CoC GTRI GVU GEDC LCC TI Program Overview Nikil Jayant October 2007 Technologies, Test-beds and Services Commercialization and Policy Strategic Partnerships

  2. AirDefense Alcatel-Lucent Arris AT&T BellSouth Broadcom Cisco Systems Comcast Conexant Systems Cox Communications Eastman Kodak EGT Industry Sponsors (1999-2007) • Home Wireless Networks • HP Labs • Intel • Korea Telecom • Motorola • NCR • Nortel Networks • NTT DoCoMo • Panasonic • Spirent • Sprint • Telecom Network Optimizer • Tellabs

  3. Examples of Major Contributions • Multi-gigabit broadband, science to systems: wireless, per-user optical, per-wavelength optical • Wireless co-existence, and the smart use of ether: indoors, outdoors, pedestrian, PHY-based, MAC-based ultra wideband, cognitive radio, network MIMO • Agile networks: granular network statistics, video packets as network probes, message ferries, smart home routers • Defining the applications of pervasive broadband: Co-design of networking and signal processing Characterizing, computing and communication of context Applications in Entertainment, Healthcare and Education

  4. Examples of Major Contributions - II • Definitive Publications on Broadband • Active Role in National Policy • Startup companies Asankya EGT SmartRouter VQLink • Leadership in the Open Innovations Initiative NG-Optical Packet switching

  5. Industry-AcademicResearch Collaborations AT&T-Hosted Panel: ICC2007, Glasgow Prof. Nikil Jayant Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar Strategic Partnership Director, Georgia Tech

  6. Examples of Research Testbeds • Planet Lab • Sensor-Net Lab • Smart Antenna Lab • Cable Last Mile Lab • Optical-Wireless Convergence Lab • Telepresence Lab • GT-Mobile Sphere • Residential Laboratory

  7. Proactive Health Aging in Place IPTV Optical-Wireless Convergence

  8. Examples of Federally Sponsored Research • Gigabit Wireless • Cognitive Radio • Optical-Wireless Convergence • High-Resolution Video Processing • Healthcare: Aging in Place 2007 Proposal for NSF-ERC • Immersive and Intelligent Telepresence

  9. Examples of Performance Metrics • Sponsored Research • Invention Disclosures • Patents • License Agreements • Startups • Collaborations with Companies Leveraging Investments by the Georgia Research Alliance

  10. What keeps us awake during the day • Can video be used as a proxy to assess network readiness for serious interactive gaming? • How do we use a zero-reference quality meter to enhance pervasive multimedia distribution? • How do we model user psychology and semantics in recommending TV programs and Ads? • How do we evolve from QoS to QoI to QoE? • How do we re-use core competencies in different verticals? • How do we promote Open Collaborations with Industry in multiple engagement models: 1-1, 1-N, M-1, M-N ?

  11. Summary of Recent Research Highlights • Advanced Video Coding • Software-based VoIP enhancements • 100 Gigabit Ethernet • Flexible Last Mile : FTTH + In-Residence Radio • Predictive algorithm for DOCSIS3.0 Traffic • Identity Assertion • Prototyping of no-reference Video Quality Meter • Wireless SensorNet Research and IPTV-Demo • Mobile Broadband Gaming: • Challenges to the NG-network and the user interface

  12. Examples ofConsortium Research

  13. $6B Market, 100M Sensors Standardization www.infoshop.com Research goals Higher capacity Lower Energy Consumption Reliable data gathering Information Prioritization Applications of AwareNets - User-Friendly, Efficient IPTV - Distributed Surveillance In the Home In Closed Spaces Wireless Sensornets

  14. Mobile Broadband Gaming Pushing the technology envelope: Rich Media, Augmented Reality,Massively Multi-Player Games Screen shot of Broadband Institute Prototype Asymmetric Platforms, Context-Awareness Service Trends Research Convergence of Real and Virtual Spaces Convergence of Television and Gaming

  15. Zero-Reference Video Quality Meter MTBF =20 min Likely source of artifact: Compression [ C ] MTBF=30 sec Likely source of artifact: Network [ N ] 20 s Average

  16. The use of AVQ as a ubiquitous resource Monitoring and enhancing video quality AVQ router AVQ AVQ Source receiver AVQ • Measures and monitors quality in any part of the video communication chain • Provides actionable real-time cues in closed-loop coding and networking • Value added by AVQ needs to be measured in market-specific experiments

  17. Network Architecture for End-to-End Service DeliveryConvergences: Optical + Wireless Telecom + Datacom WDM and TDM Services HDTV, I-MMOG Broadband Access First Meters First Miles Metro WAN Long Haul Metro WAN Broadband Access Last Miles Last Meters Users Stationary, Mobile Optical Wireless TDM-PON Ethernet WDM-PON Optical Wireless 1 Gbps 10 Gbps 100 Gbps 10 Gbps 1 Gbps

  19. Future Directions Industry Feedback

  20. Extras

  21. Partnership with Industry

  22. Annual Membership Options • $40K • Guiding of consortium research • Access to members-only website • Early exposure to student recruiting • Access to faculty from ECE, CoC and GTRI • Access to consortium IP Directed-Research Options • $70K - above benefits plus one research assistant • $100K - above benefits plus two research assistants • $125K - above benefits plus three research assistants • $150K+ negotiated multi-faculty research program • The last four categories include opportunity for exclusive IP rights • The negotiated research program is a large, company-focused initiative involving more than three students and, potentially, multiple faculty • Consortium memberships are matched with state funding; • In-Kind Gifts to maximum of 50% of membership fee

  23. Intellectual Property at Georgia Tech, including software licensing Partnership Model • GTRC “owns” IP,but sponsor gets: • First visibility • Non-exclusive royalty-free license for internal use • Right of first refusal to an exclusive license • Value of that license is negotiated Consortia $$ Bilateral$$ • GTRC “owns” but sponsors get: • Results shared at IAB meetings • Equal access to consortium research • Equal opportunity to license research

  24. Wireless Trends Pervasive Wireless: Entertainment, education, healthcare Smarter Use of Airwaves Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks Indoor-Outdoor Convergence MIMO-MAC-MOBILITY- MESHNETS Broadband Wireless 10 bps/Hz

  25. Optical Evolution IP Over Optical Convergence • Network scalability • Lower cost • Bandwidth utilization • Provisioning time • Interoperability Optical Burst-Label-Packet Switching GMPLS Circuit Switching Convergence of 100 Gbps Services Datacom and Telecom WDM Provisioning, Access 100 Mbps Symmetrical 10 Gbps On Demand Point-to-Point Transport
