MobilityFirst Vision

Vision: Mobility as the key driver for the future Internet � Historic shift from PC’s to mobile computing and embedded devices… � ~4 B cell phones vs. ~1B Internet-connected PC’s in 2010 � Mobile data growing exponentially – Cisco white paper predicts >1exabyte per month (surpassing wired PC traffic) by 2012 � Sensor deployment just starting, ~5-10B units by 2020 ~2B servers/PC’s, ~10B notebooks, PDA’s, smart phones, sensors ~1B server/PC’s, ~700M smart phones Wireless Wireless Edge Edge Network Network INTERNET INTERNET INTERNET INTERNET Wireless Wireless Edge Edge Network Network ~2010 ~2020 MobilityFirst FIA Team Presentation Nov 15, 2010

Vision: Near-term “mobile Internet” usage scenario – cellular convergence � ~4-5B new cellular devices in just a few years will drive convergence of technical standards and business models � Currently involves 2 sets of addresses (cellular number & IP), 2 sets of protocols (3GPP and IP), and protocol gateways (GGSN, PDN GW, etc.) � Scalability, performance and security problems when bridging 2 networks � Even more complicated with multiple radio access systems � Lack of a single unified standard inhibits mobile Internet app development across diverse networks and platforms INTERNET Cellular – MOBILE INTERNET MOBILE Internet GW INTERNET INTERNET Cellular – Internet GW Radio Access C Cellular system B Cellular system A Radio Access B Radio Access Net A MobilityFirst FIA Team Presentation Nov 15, 2010

Vision: Near-term “mobile Internet” usage scenario – Mobile P2P and Infostations � P2P and Infostations (DTN-like) modes for content delivery becoming mainstream � Heterogeneous access; network may be disconnected at times � Involves both terminal and router mobility; dynamic trust establishment � Requires content caching and opportunistic data delivery MOBILE INTERNET MOBILE INTERNET Mobile DTN Router Opportunistic High-Speed Link Ad-Hoc (MB/s) Network Mobile DTN User/Router Roadway Sensors Infostations Router MobilityFirst FIA Team Presentation Mobile P2P User Nov 15, 2010

Vision: Future “mobile Internet” usage scenarios – vehicular networks � 100’s of million cars will be equipped with radios by ~2015 � Both V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) and V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure) modes � Involves capabilities such as location services, georouting, reliable multicast � Important new trust (security and privacy) requirements in this scenario V2I Irrelevant vehicles in radio range for few seconds Following vehicle, V2V in radio range for minutes Passing vehicle, in radio range for seconds MobilityFirst FIA Team Presentation Nov 15, 2010

Vision: Emerging “mobile Internet” usage scenarios – pervasive (ubiquitous) systems � The next generation of Internet applications will involve interfacing human beings with the physical world � Wide range of usage scenarios including healthcare, smart grids, etc. � Networking requires awareness of location and context, along with embedded computational resources � Challenges - flexible network computing model, security and robustness Ambient interfaces “Human in the Loop” “Cloud” Applications Global Pervasive Network (Future Internet) Computation To Actuators Protocol & Storage Content & Location module Aware Routers Network Connectivity & Computation Healthcare Data From Application Vehicles with Sensors Sensors & Wireless Virtualized physical world object Robotics Application Smart Grids MobilityFirst FIA Team Presentation Nov 15, 2010

Vision: Protocol Design for the future Mobile/Wireless World � Fundamental change in design goals and assumptions � ~10B+ mobile/wireless end-points as “first-class” Internet devices � Mobility as the norm for end-points and access networks � Wireless access – varying link BW/quality, multiple radios, disconnections � Stronger security/trust requirements due to: � open radio medium � need for dynamic trust association for mobile devices/users, � increased privacy concerns (e.g. location tracking) � greater potential for network failure � Mobile applications involve location/content/context and energy constraints � Technology has also changed a lot in the ~40 yrs since IP was designed � Moore’s law improvements in computing and storage (~5-6 orders-of- magnitude gain in cost performance since 1970) � Edge/core disparity, fast fiber but continuing shortage of radio spectrum MobilityFirst FIA Team Presentation Nov 15, 2010

Vision: Protocol Design for the future Mobile/Wireless World (cont.) � Proposed MobilityFirst architecture motivated by these considerations � Clean-slate protocol design that directly addresses the problems of mobility at scale, while also strengthening the trust model End-point and network mobility at scale � Intrinsic properties of wireless medium � More stringent security/trust requirements � Special needs of emerging mobile applications � � Fixed internet access is treated as a special case of the more general design � Although the “sweet spot” of our protocol is wireless/mobile, we believe that our design provides important benefits to fixed network applications Security/trust � Robustness � Fault tolerance � Context/content � MobilityFirst FIA Team Presentation Nov 15, 2010
