Bridge to the Future ICEBERG UpdateAnthony D. JosephRandy H. KatzReiner E. LudwigStephan Baucke S. S. 7 Endeavour Retreat June 19, 2000 http://iceberg.cs.berkeley.edu/ Cellular “Core” Network
ICEBERG: Internet-based core for CEllular networks BEyond the thiRd Generation • 3G+ networks will enable many comm. devices and networks • Goals: • From specific devices/networks to universal endpoint access • Access to people and services across diverse networks • Service level mobility (Cross device/network service handoff) • Leverage infrastructure to “track” users’ activities/location • Rapid easy development/deployment of novel, innovative, composable services and new devices • Develop services on Internet (not Telco) time • Scalable, robust, secure architecture • Support third-party providers
Universal Inbox Transparent Information Access Speech-to-Text Speech-to-Voice Attached-Email Call-to-Pager/Email Notification Email-to-Speech All compositions of the above! Policy-based Location-based Activity-based Empower users!
Project Approach • Make it real: build a large-scale testbed • Time travel: bring the future to the present • Collect “real” information about systems • On-going VoIP, cellular experiments • Prototype release • Users (students) develop new/interesting applications • Understanding several key research areas • Core signaling protocol, Personal Activity Coordinator • Multi-modal services: Speech control / Information dissemination • Service mobility: Location-based services, Universal Inbox • Scheduling and multi-layer wireless link issues
Iceberg Components • June 2000 v0.0 release • http://iceberg.cs.berkeley.edu/release/ • Execution platform • Operational software/middleware • Control model (protocol, resource allocation/management) • Data transcoding model • Service creation environment • Applications • Universal Inbox, Media Manager • IP-telephony • Networking infrastructure • Testbed/simulation and tracing • Video coding and transport

Media Manager Interface Media Manager Service Iceberg Media Manager Client Client • Transcoder Service • Voicemail->Text Transcript • Voicemail->Text Summary • Voicemail->Text Outline • Email ->Plain Audio • Email -> GSM Audio • Voicemail-> GSM Summary • Voicemail->Audio Summary • Voicemail->Skimmed Audio Folder Store Client • Part of Universal Inbox service • Extensible (e.g., Ninja Secure Proxy service) • Status: Part of Iceberg release Mail Access Interface Mail Access Interface Mail Access Interface NinjaMail POP IMAP
Price-Based Resource Allocation Example User Web Interface • IP telephony application • Price based on load • Congestion-based model • Exploring userreactions to pricing • Status: • 23 phone lines • 50 ugrad users (Sp’00) • ~700 ugrads (Fa’00) Current Price for Using Your Computer: 10 Tokens/min Next Minute Price for Using Your Computer: 20 Tokens/min Current Price for Using Your Telephone: 15 Tokens/min Next Minute Price for Using Your Telephone: 35 Tokens/min Packet Loss Rate When Using Your Computer: 3% Handoff the Current Call to Your Telephone: (510) 642-8919 Yes? H.323 Gateway PSTN Internet Handoff the Current Call to Your Computer: center.cs.berkeley.edu Yes?
Wireless Video Streaming • Goal: Flexible networking protocols in support of error resilient video codecs • GSM RLP: reliable data delivery on radio link • Issue: reliability versus delay • UDP Lite (existing protocol) • Flexible checksum allows app to receive corrupted data • RLP Lite (new protocol) • Same as UDP Lite, but for radio link • Simulation/experimental results: UDP Lite/RLP lite • less E2E delay, constant jitter, higher throughput, lower packet loss • … than UDP (with or without RLP) • Collecting radio traces is time consuming • MTA – Markov-Based Trace Analysis Algorithm • Mathematical channel models based on empirical trace measurements • Enables generation of artificial traces with same statistical characteristics as real traces (BER, burst error length, etc)
