TITLE:
IOTA and GAMMA: Two Systems Projects for 3G Wireless Data Services

ABSTRACT:
In this talk I will present two systems projects for 3G wireless data services. The first project is called IOTA (Integration of Two Access technologies). Its goal is to integrate the two important yet complementary wireless access technologies: 3G for wide area and 802.11 (aka Wi-Fi) for local area. We have built a new network element called IOTA gateway and a multi-interface mobility client that works with the gateway. Using them we have been demonstrating seamless handoffs between a 3G network and an 802.11 network. The second project is called GAMMA, which stands for General Architecture for Multi-Media Adaptation. Its objective is to build a content-adaptation server for on-demand transcoding of multimedia data for wireless applications. The GAMMA system has a novel architecture that it can accommodate a broad spectrum of third-party transcoding utilities for video, image, audio, presentation, document, etc. In this talk, I will present the motivation, challenges, design, implementation, and evaluation of the two projects.
