18 SDN for Wireless A new set of problems: User mobility Variable link quality Context awareness Widespread use (home networks, etc) No expert administrators: should just work RF coexistence with other networks

19 Ethanol: SDN for WiFi Extensions for the control of WiFi APs No changes on the user terminals Interfaces for mobility management, virtualizauon, host diagnosucs and informauon

20 Ethanol: implementauon Runs on PCs and APs using embedded Linux (OpenWRT) Future work Extensions for mesh networks Control protocols for network TroubleshooUng

21 Manageable SDR SDN today focuses on the network layer What if SDN controlled the MAC/PHY layers? What are the most suitable commands/ events/acuons to program the MAC/PHY layers?

22 Manageable SDR Ongoing work More computauonal power on the terminal More refined predicuon of channel quality MulU- protocol radios (e.g. WiFi+Bluetooth +ZigBee) Dynamic adaptauon of the MAC protocol (e.g. TDMA versus CSMA) Projeto exemplo: WIRELESS NETWORK RECONFIGURATION USING SIGNAL ESTIMATORS

23 Mobile networking Coopera'on: how to ensure that users donate their resources on opportunisuc/parucipatory networks? IncenUve mechanisms GamificaUon Projeto exemplo: Um Arcabouço de Decisão Mul'- Critérios para Descarga de Dados Oportunís'ca em Redes Móveis

24 Mobile networking Security: How to ensure that informauon coming from users is reliable? ReputaUon schemes User trust (social networking) How to verify that a distributed code is secure? Projeto exemplo: Redes Sociais Para Cer'ficação em Redes Veiculares Tolerantes a Interrupções

25 Mobile networking Management: is it possible to manage a mobile and opportunisuc network? Can we ensure QoS levels for criucal applicauons (e.g. collision avoidance) Monitoring without constant probing (e.g. Bundle- based management) Projeto exemplo: Gerenciamento de Redes Veiculares Tolerantes a Atrasos e Desconexões

26 Mobile networking Performance: IntegraUon of mobile devices and the cloud (offloading) Measurement and evaluauon of protocols Projeto exemplo: Building a Mobile ComputaUonal Offloading framework in Android
