Plenary Session

Abstract:
Total data volume generated in the world reached to Zetta byte level last year. The number of smart phone users in the world is rapidly expanding, and traffic volume of mobile communications is also increasing. Big data derived from various terminals and appliances should be handled efficiently by networking and cloud computing technologies. New generation network (NWGN)/Future Internet (FI) including SDN and cloud computing technologies including inter-cloud are required in order to collect, transport, process and store such big data. In this presentation, state-of-the-art technologies of new generation networking and inter-cloud computing are overviewed.

Abstract:
Cellular concept was invented to improve the spectrum efficiency by spectrum reuse and has contributed a lot for the explosive deployment of today’s mobile communication industry. As mobile data and video traffic is fast growing, the next-generation mobile communication (5G?) networks are expected to further provide 10-fold more capacity than 4G mobile networks with the limited spectrum as well as energy resources. To deal with this challenge, the traditional physical- and MAC-layer capacity-enhancement approaches are no more sufficient and efficient. A system- or network-level approach is needed, including rethinking about the existing cellular structure. On the other hand, cellular networks are transforming from just a mobile communication platform to a smart information infrastructure on which more and more always-online type of traffic (e.g., short but frequent signaling packets of various social networks, sensing information of smart earth and smart community, control packets in cooperative heterogeneous wireless networks) need to be handled in an energy-efficient way. As a result, the existing cellular framework should be revisited. In this talk, we propose a new cellular architecture, named hyper-cellular networks (HCN), aiming at increasing the whole network capacity by more than 10-fold based on the existing limited spectrum and energy resources as well as accommodating ever-increasing always-online traffic in a more energy-efficient way. The key idea here is to separate the coverage of control signals from the coverage of data signals so that the data coverage can be more elastic in accordance with the dynamics of traffic needs and QoS requirements. Some preliminary results have shown that this new paradigm has a great potential in the capacity enhancement and energy saving.

Abstract:
The boom of the Internet and mobile services has drastically changed the landscape of telecommunications and the related industries for the past decade. One of the most interesting changes is that telcos responsibility for traffic delivery have suffered from the revenue drops due to traffic increase and subsequent costs as well as the pressure for the infrastructure evolution while users have been enjoying eye-popping new convenient services almost for free. In the mean time, various kinds of over-the-top players like Skype, Kakao Talk and Netflix have emerged in the market and immediately made their presence felt through the industries by raking in the profit which used to be traditionally telco’s. In addition, the strong market powers like device platform players have come into the whole application ecosystem by creating new services which was once solidly preserved by telco’s walled garden. These alarming market situations and trends explain the challenges telcos are facing these days and indicate the rough road ahead of them, as well as the roles of R&D. In this talk, we will address major issues in several telco business areas like traffic delivery, computing infrastructures, platforms and services including communications and convergence with the direction of problem solving. We will also touch on how to create a sustainable ecosystem in networking and traffic delivery and still meet the required scales and quality for the future traffic-intensive services. The efficient way to integrate cloud computing infrastructures and telco services will be an interesting topic and surely will draw many attentions. How to deploy the industrial converged services will be discussed as well as how to build the open ecosystem in favor of telco industry.

Abstract:
Over the past fifty years the economics associated with technologies underpinning transport and computing resources have almost periodically changed the network architecture to yield optimum cost-performance scenarios. In recent years, the distributed nature of applications, virtualization of resources, and other factors have had significant implications on the way networks are implemented. In this talk, we start with the basic law governing the computational resource growth and how it would influence on the forwarding and processing of packets. We will examine the limits and their impact on the economy of scale.
