Over 30 Years of research 1972: Packet Radio NETwork 1980s: SURvivable Adaptive Radio Network Early 1990s: GLObal MObile Information System (& NTDR) Mid 1990s: IETF MANET Many conferences, workshops & Journals MobiHoc, MobiCom, INFOCOM, SECON, AdHoc, MASS,…. Many papers, books, lots of excitement So much research yet so few products ……why?
Cliché Scenarios Focused on • Tactical advantage in battle theatre • Emergency & Disaster recovery Research agenda set by DoD
Alternative Scenarios • There are others, that are commercially interesting
Scenarios Focus on two scenarios • Inter-home and Intra-home meshes: Neighborhood Community Networks • Residential Broadband Internet Access in hard to reach areas
Questions to consider • Are these reasonable scenarios? • What is the true state of art for wireless meshes (Separate fact from fiction) • Have we identified the right set of technical problems? (what’s missing) • Can we separate research from engineering • What are the limits of current technologies? What can we expect / hope for from future Technologies -- Timelines • What are the top n problems we should to be solving • How should we go about solving these problem
Technologies Why can’t we simply borrow? Why reinvent? • Different constraints • Spectrum, transmission power, size, cost, etc. Perhaps academics working with industry can do it better
Regulators Industry Meshing Together Academia
Who is here Academic Institutes • University of Illinois Urbana Champaign • Massachusetts Institute of Technology • University of California Berkeley • The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) • Rice University • University of Massachusetts • University of California San Diego • University of Maryland • University of California Santa Barbara • University of California Santa Cruz • State University of New York Stony Brook • University of California Los Angeles • University of Washington • International Computer Science Institute Government • National Science Foundation Industry • Intel • BBN Technologies • PacketHop Networks • Honeywell • Tropos Networks • MeshNetworks • SkyPilot • Kiyon Inc.
