The subject of wireless and mobile communication integrates the large body of knowledge accumulated through the traditional radio research, the large networking experience accumulated through the proliferation of LANs and WANs, and the vision of ubiquitous connectivity anywhere, at anytime, with anyone, and in any format. The tutorial exposes both the theoretical and the practical aspects of mobile networking, from a networking and application perspective. We will present the concept, architecture, and functionality of Personal Communications Services and Networks (PCS & PCN) and Universal Personal Telecommunications (UPT) and we will describe the most common platform for mobile communications: the wireless systems. In particular, systems such as cellular, cordless, and satellite will be discussed. Existing and in-progress standards are also outlined. Finally, an abundance of examples of the wireless and mobile networks will be described, giving realism to the presented material. TOPICS: * Elements of Wireless Mobile Communications * Wireless Services and Applications * The Cellular Concept * The Cordless Concept * Digital Communication Networks * Local-Area Wireless Data Access * Wide-area Wireless Data Access * Mobile Satellite Communications * Standardization of Wireless Networks * PCS/PCN and UPT * Summary: Where we have started and where are going . Zygmunt Haas received his B.Sc. in EE in 1979 and M.Sc. in EE in 1985, both with Summa Cum Laude. From 1979 till 1985 he worked for the Government of Israel. In 1988, he earned his Ph.D. from Stanford University researching fast packet-switched networks, and subsequently joined AT&T Bell Laboratories in Holmdel NJ, where he is now a Member of Technical Staff in the Wireless Networks Department. Dr. Haas is an author of numerous technical papers and holds several patents in the field of high-speed networking, wireless networks, and optical switching. He has organized several workshops and served as a guest editor for JSAC issues. Dr. Haas is a Senior Member of IEEE and his interests include: mobile and wireless communication networks, personal communication services, high-speed communication protocols, and optical switching. Tutorial T2 ----------- David D. Clark, MIT "Protocol Performance" Getting proper performance from a network or protocol is often a difficult task. This tutorial uses examples from the Internet (TCP/IP) protocol suite to illustrate critical performance issues. The focus is on providing real-world advice on how to design and implement protocols in ways that avoid performance problems. The presentation will include examples of various performance problems and how to detect and recognize them. Topics * Performance issues (reliability, throughput and delay) * Implementation bottlenecks * Specifications and their limitations * Heterogeneity and its impact on implementation * Network dynamics * Visualizing protocol performance * Limits of protocol performance Dr. David Clark is a senior research scientist at MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and a recipient of the ACM SIGCOMM Award. He has worked on TCP/IP since the mid-1970s and from 1981 to 1989 was chairman of the Internet Activities Board. He is widely known for his insight into protocol design and performance and for his skill in identifying and eliminating myths about protocol implementation and performance. His current areas of research include high-performance networks, the evolution of the Internet, ATM and information networking. He received his doctorate from MIT in 1973. Tutorial T3 ----------- Paul E. Green, Jr., IBM "Fiber Optic Networks" Fiber optic technology has completely transformed the internal operation of the world's telephone networks and is beginning to impact local computer networks. Compared to the voice grade phone line technology, which defined most of the network architectures that we are still living with today, fiber offers ten orders of magnitude better bandwidth and an equal improvement in achievable bit error rate. By use of WDM and circuit switching, the additional benefits of protocol transparency can be achieved. There is a widespread feeling that the generation of network that will follow today's ATM and upgraded Internet structures might very well be based on techniques that directly unlock this revolutionary improvement at the physical level. The course is devoted to the new class of "all-optical" networks that attempt to do this. The lecturer will cover the optoelectronic components involved and will also treat some of the network architectural consequences, the regulatory and economic picture, and review some systems already implemented. TOPICS * Motivating fiber optic networks * Fibers, couplers and taps * Optical resonant structures * Laser diodes and amplifiers * Optical receivers * System considerations * Network topologies and link budgets * Protocols, layers and network control * Some implemented systems * Status and prospects Paul E. Green, Jr, is Manager of Advanced Optical Networking Member at IBM Research in Hawthorne, NY. He received the ScD degree from M.I.T. in 1953, and after some years at M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory, where he made pioneering contributions to spread spectrum, adaptive receivers, radar astronomy and seismic data processing, he joined IBM Research in 1969. At IBM he has held a variety of management and Corporate Technical Staff positions. His technical interests have centered on computer network architecture, and he has received several IBM Outstanding Innovation Awards for his role in the initial formulation and promotion of Advanced Peer to Peer Networking, now the basis for further evolution of IBM's System Network Architecture. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, in 1983 was named Distinguished Engineering Alumnus by North Carolina State University, and received the IEEE's Simon Ramo Medal in 1991. He is the author of many technical papers, has edited several books on computer communications, and is the author of the textbook Fiber Optic Networks, published by Prentice Hall in June,1992. He has been President of both the IEEE Communication Information Theory Society and the Communication Society. Tutorial T4 ----------- Van Jacobson, LBL "Multimedia Conferencing on the Internet" An architectural overview and detailed walk-through of the protocols and applications that provide real-time, multiparty, audio, video and shared workspace conferencing on today's Internet. Experiments and demonstrations over the Internet MBONE and the DARTNET testbed have shown that multimedia and conferencing applications can indeed work over IP internets. Playback algorithms that adapt to variations in network delay (such as VAT) and information distribution algorithms designed to facilitate shared workspaces (such as those used in the shared whiteboard) have made these sorts of applications possible. This tutorial describes these algorithms and the applications that use them. Topics * IP as a real-time infrastructure: multicasting and queueing * Adaptive Playback: VAT * Managing Sessions: SD * Managing Shared Workspaces: Shared Whiteboard * Implications for the future of IP Van Jacobson is a senior researcher at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories, where he works on real-time system performance, protocol and operating system performance. He is widely known for his groundbreaking work on TCP/IP performance, TCP/IP congestion control, and support for multimedia applications on the Internet. He is the recipient of a number of awards and teaches periodically at U.C. Berkeley and Stanford University. Tutorial T5 ----------- Rainer Handel, Siemens Munich "Asynchronous Transfer Mode" The tutorial will provide a comprehensive introduction to the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). Both technical and marketing aspects of ATM will be addressed. ATM specification is not yet complete but in a state that allows implementations which are basically compliant with a worldwide agreed, unique standard supporting data, voice, image and multimedia applications. The presentation of the concept of ATM networking will include the ATM protocol reference model, the architecture of ATM networks, interfaces and procotols, traffic control and resource management, signalling, operational aspects, ATM evolution and internetworking aspects, and of course a detailed description of the ATM layer and ATM adaptation layer functions. An overview of how ATM cells are switched and transmitted will also be given. The possible use of ATM in a business and residential environment and its market acceptance depending on product availability, cost and feature offerings will be clarified. TOPICS: * High speed networks * ATM concept * ATM protocols * ATM interfaces * interworking and evolvability * market aspects * switching and transmission products * network implementations and service offerings Rainer Handel has been with Siemens (Public Communications Networks Group) since 1978 doing system design and software development for switching systems, ATM conceptual and standardization work, ATM network and product planning, and currently long-term telecom market and technology trend evaluation. For several years he was active in the standards bodies CCITT, ETSI and T1, and is the author of several papers and a book on ATM. Workshop W1 ---------- Derek McAuley, University of Cambridge "Topics in High Performance Networking Support of Distributed Systems" This one day workshop will present the experiences of the speakers in building various components of distributed systems which aim to effectively utilise modern high performance networks. This workshop consists of 4 talks. Each talk will be 60 minutes with 15 minutes for discussion. 1. The CHORUS Communication Architecture, Marc Rozier The communication service is a key component of the CHORUS micro-kernel architecture. First, it provides the basic framework allowing efficient modular operating system implementations. By dramatically reducing the overhead of local communications, it is key to the success of such serverized implementations, which are now able to compete with monolithic implementations. Second, it provides efficient, network-transparent, communication services, well adapted to the distribution of the operating system servers. In particular, it makes possible the implementation of UNIX systems on massively parallel architectures, offering a single system image to their users. This tutorial will address the various aspects of this communication architecture, from the definition of the communication services, to some aspects of its implementation. Emphasis will be placed on insights from previous versions of this service. 2. The Organization of Networks in Plan 9, Rob Pike In a distributed system networks are of paramount importance. This tutorial describes the implementation, design philosophy and organization of network support in Plan 9. Topics include network requirements for distributed systems, our kernel implementation, network naming, user interfaces and performance. We also observe that much of this organization is relevant to current systems. 3. Mixed media applications, David Tennenhouse WWW is a rapidly growing phenomena which highlights the interesting applications possible with mixed media types. From experience with the WWW this tutorial will address the issues raised in supporting these mixed media types and the problems in building systems which support media with time constraints. 4. What can you do with ATM today?, Derek McAuley ATM must now be officially a bandwagon. Some will tell you it solves all the world's problems because it was designed to, while others will say it's good for nothing. The reality and hype are hard to distinguish. This talk will address what ATM can be used for today and highlight those features for which it is rightly criticised not least of which is end-system integration. The talk could be subtitled, "Difficult questions to ask your ATM salesman''. Marc Rozier is the head of the Micro-Kernel Department within Chorus systemes. He graduated from Ecole Nationale Superieure Informatique et de Mathematiques Applique'es de Grenoble (ENSIMAG) before earning a doctor's degree in Computer Science from Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG). In 1981-82, he was involved in the CESAR project at IMAG (Grenoble), working on the Validation of Distributed Systems. He gained experience in programming languages for distributed applications and distributed systems. He joined INRIA in 1982 as a researcher in the CHORUS distributed operating system project. In 1987, he became one of the founders of Chorus systemes. He is one of the main designers of the CHORUS-v3 Micro-Kernel technology. He is the author of several publications in international journals and conferences. Rob Pike is well known for his appearances on "Late Night with David Letterman", is also a Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, where he has been since 1980, the same year he won the Olympic silver medal in Archery. In 1981 he wrote the first bitmap window system for Unix systems, and has since written ten more. With Bart Locanthi he designed the Blit terminal; with Brian Kernighan he wrote The Unix Program- ming Environment. A shuttle mission nearly launched a gamma-ray telescope he designed. He is a Canadian citizen and has never written a program that uses cursor addressing. David Tennenhouse is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science. He is leader of the Telemedia, Networks and Systems Group, which is addressing systems issues arising at the confluence of three intertwined technologies: broadband networks, high definition video and distributed computing. David studied electrical engineering at the University of Toronto, where he received his B.A.Sc. and M.A.Sc. degrees. In 1989 he completed his Ph.D. at the Computer Laboratory of the University of Cambridge. His Ph.D. research focused on ATM-based site interconnection issues. This work, which was conducted within the Unison Project, led to the early implementation of an ATM-based wide area testbed. Derek McAuley is a Lecturer in the Computer Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. His research interests include networking, distributed systems and operating systems. Recent work has concentrated on the support of time dependent mixed media types in both networks and operating systems. He has failed to leave Cambridge since arriving in 1979 to read Mathematics. In 1989 he completed his Ph.D. on ATM internetworking. He has had a hand in de-commissioning 4 ATM networks, including Tennenhouse's carefully constructed Unison platform. --------------- L o c a t i o n --------------- The conference will be held in the Edward Lewis Lecture Theatre which is located in the Windeyer Building on the UCL campus.
