Outlook on Future Work
Collect trace data from Canadian cellular operator to
- characterize traffic patterns
- analyze user behavior and user mobility
- build large-scale (province/state) simulation models
Expand heterogeneous collection of portable devices and networking infrastructure (palm pilots, cellphones, cdmaOne)
Explore alternative ways to provide “client-server” interactions
- active networks
- push vs. pull
- merging IETF standards with telecommunications world
Focus on both low-level proxy and high-level proxy
- low-level proxy: support protocol stack
- keep connections alive
- “prioritize” TCP streams
- high-level proxy: support applications
Identify and explore new innovative mobile applications
