Code & Data Highlight

"Good software, like wine, takes time." -- Joel Spolsky

System implementations and data are key part of my research. Besides delivering contributions via scientific publications, CPI Lab always release, if permitted, our work as open-source software and datasets. Here I list software implementations and datasets that are completed through CPI projects. The source codes and datasets can be found in corresponding repositories.

MADNet

Metropolitan Advanced Delivery Network (MADNet) is a collaborative WiFi-based mobile data offloading architecture that targets to improve energy efficiency for smartphones. MADNet achieves collaboration by intelligently aggregating the power of cellular operators, WiFi service providers and end-users. It utilizes an energy-aware algorithm to assist the offloading decision for smartphones, which enables them to select the most energy efficient WiFi APs to offload mobile traffic. MADNet project is in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom T-Labs, AT&T and University of Maryland College Park.

NAO

Network-Assisted Offloading (NAO) is a framework that utilizes network assistance to achieve efficient IP traffic offloading. It enables mobile network operators to actively trigger and guide the traffic offloading through dedicated protocols. NAO supports two offloading modes, namely host-driven mode with DHCPv6 and network-driven mode with Neighbor Discovery. NAO project is in collaboration with Nokia and Broadcom.
