Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2013 ACM MobiSys Workshop on on Cellular Networks: Operations, Challenges, and Future Design (CellNet). This is the second instance of this workshop and continues the tradition started in 2012. CellNet'13 consists of multiple paper presentations, two invited keynote talks, and a panel. The goal of this workshop is to enable a better dialogue between practitioners and researchers in the domain of cellular networks. The need for this event stems from a gap between these two communities.

With the popularity of smartphones and tablets, we are living in an increasingly mobile world. Third-party mobile applications are rapidly growing everyday and greatly enrich our lives. The ecosystem for mobile applications is vibrant and conducive to open innovation. An important part of this ecosystem is the underlying connectivity provided by a cellular network. While innovations in mobile services and applications have thrived, innovations in the underlying cellular systems are much more limited. This is partially caused by the closed and monolithic nature of these networks, where the core design and operational challenges of these networks are not very accessible to the research community. The goal of this workshop is to bring together network operators, and academic researchers together to discuss emerging problems, challenges, and potential solutions in this domain.

Late-binding: how to lose fewer packets during handoff

Current networking stacks were designed for a single wired network interface. Today, it is common for a mobile device connect to many networks that come and go, and whose rates are constantly changing. Current network stacks behave poorly in this ...

Practical performance of MU-MIMO precoding in many-antenna base stations

Many-antenna base stations promise manyfold spectral capacity increases in theory. However, our recent experimental work has shown a significant performance gap between the traditional MU-MIMO linear precoding method, zero-forcing, and the method ...

Sprinkler: distributed content storage for just-in-time streaming

We envision cities where networking infrastructures, such as Wi-Fi access points (AP), will be equipped with storage capabilities. We propose to utilize the storage as a large distributed video cache. If successful, we envision that a child will be able ...
