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

技术进步将社会带入了一个令人兴奋的移动计算时代。新一代移动应用程序可以进一步丰富我们的日常生活，例如增强现实(AR)，它通过协调来自多个来源的声音、图像、视频和传感器来拓宽人们对现实世界的感知，以帮助理解和导航。然而，今天的互联网使用的是40年前开发的基于地址的TCP/IP协议体系结构，这极大地限制了这些新应用程序的充分承诺。因此，当前的AR实施在性能、可扩展性和灾难时的可用性方面面临挑战。这项拟议的研究项目(ICE-AR)旨在开发一种新的无线网络体系结构来解决这些限制，并为这些新兴应用提供广泛的支持。ICE-AR项目团队将应用并延长六年来对命名数据网络(NDN)的研究工作，命名数据网络(NDN)是信息中心网络(ICN)愿景的实现。该设计强调应用程序级数据命名、以数据为中心的安全和计算、异步发布和使用，以及高效使用本地和邻近资源。该架构将把无线通信领域的最新进展与特定领域的计算技术统一起来，以在无线边缘加速AR并提供强大的性能，无论是否有预先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.
