ICN-WEN: Collaborative Research: ICN-Enabled Secure Edge Networking with Augmented Reality

技术进步已经把社会带入了一个激动人心的移动计算时代。我们的日常生活可以通过新一代的移动应用程序进一步丰富，例如增强现实（AR），它通过协调来自多个来源的声音，图像，视频和传感器来扩大人们对现实世界的感知，以帮助理解和导航。然而，今天的互联网使用40年前开发的基于地址的TCP/IP协议架构，这极大地限制了这些新应用程序的全部承诺。因此，当前的AR实现面临着性能、可伸缩性和灾难可用性方面的挑战。该研究计划（ICE-AR）旨在开发一种新的无线网络架构，以解决这些限制，并为这些新兴应用提供普遍支持。ICE-AR项目团队将应用并扩展六年的命名数据网络（NDN）研究工作，实现信息中心网络（ICN）愿景，以创建这种新的架构。该设计强调应用程序级数据命名、以数据为中心的安全性和计算、异步发布和消费，以及本地和邻近资源的有效使用。该架构将把无线通信的最新进展与特定领域的计算技术结合起来，在无线边缘加速增强现实，并提供强大的性能，无论是否有预部署的基础设施支持。

Technological advances have moved society into an exciting era of mobile computing. Our daily lives can be further enriched by a new generation of mobile applications, such as augmented reality (AR) which broadens one's real-world perception by harmonizing sound, image, video, and sensors from multiple sources to aid comprehension and navigation. However, today's Internet operates with the address-based TCP/IP protocol architecture developed 40 years ago, which greatly limits the full promises of these new applications. Thus, current AR implementations face challenges in performance, scalability and availability upon disasters. This proposed research project (ICE-AR) aims to develop a new wireless network architecture to address these limitations and provide pervasive support for these emerging applications.The ICE-AR project team will apply and extend six years of research efforts on Named Data Networking (NDN), a realization of the Information Centric Networking (ICN) vision, to create this new architecture. The design emphasizes application-level data naming, data-centric security and computing, asynchronous publishing and consumption, and efficient use of local and proximate resources. The architecture will unify latest advances in wireless communication with domain-specific computing technologies to accelerate AR at the wireless edge and deliver robust performance, with or without the pre-deployed infrastructure support.
