Collaborative Research: Fundamental Research on Adaptive Wireless Video Systems

无线互联网先进技术中心（WICAT）提案#1127960本提案为纽约大学理工学院（牵头）、奥本大学、弗吉尼亚大学、弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学的无线互联网先进技术中心（WICAT）站点寻求资金。基础研究的资金申请由NSF批准的征求授权，NSF 10-601。本次招标邀请I/ ucrc提交支持行业定义基础研究的提案。手持设备和其他无线设备对视频服务的需求日益增长，使得使用无线设备进行视频数据的有效交换成为必要。然而，无线环境的用户需求、网络流量和硬件的不断变化对实现这一目标提出了重大的研究挑战。拟议的研究旨在通过三管齐下的努力来探索能够适应不断变化的通信系统状态的无线技术来解决这些挑战。思科系统公司将提供一个用于开展拟议工作的测试平台环境，该环境将提供系统监视和云计算基础设施。在新兴的云计算环境中，在无线平台上高效、无缝地使用视频将对几乎所有经济部门产生重大的经济影响。这些服务的无所不在的实施和广泛采用也将通过它所能实现的交流程度产生社会影响。所建议的工作有可能告知和定义实现这种视频内容集成的方法。这项工作有可能加强四个参与中心站点之间的合作关系和资源联系，以进一步推进这一关键领域的研究和教育。

Wireless Internet Center for Advanced Technology (WICAT)Proposal #1127960This proposal seeks funding for the Wireless Internet Center for Advanced Technology (WICAT) sites at the Polytechnic Institute of NYU (lead), Auburn University, the University of Virginia, and the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Funding Requests for Fundamental Research are authorized by an NSF approved solicitation, NSF 10-601. The solicitation invites I/UCRCs to submit proposals for support of industry-defined fundamental research. Increasing demand for video services on handheld and other wireless devices has made efficient exchange of video data using wireless devices a necessity. However the continual changes in user demand, network traffic and hardware of the wireless environment pose significant research challenges to achieving this goal. The proposed research seeks to address these challenges via a three pronged effort to explore wireless technologies able to adapt to changing communication system states. A test bed environment for the conduct of the proposed work that will provide system surveillance and cloud computing infrastructure will be provided by Cisco Systems.Efficient and seamless use of video on wireless platforms in the emerging cloud computing environment will have major economic impact in virtually all economic sectors. Ubiquitous implementation and widespread adoption of these services will also create societal impact through the degree of communication it will enable. The proposed work has the potential to inform and define approaches to achieving this video content integration. The work has the potential to strengthen collaborative ties and link resources among the four participating center sites to further both research and education in this critical area.
