New application needs have always sparked human innovation. A decade ago, cloud computing enabled high-value enterprise services with a global reach and scale but with several minutes or seconds of delay. Large-scale services like enterprise resource planning (ERP) were a corner-case scenario, often designed as one-off systems. Today, applications like social networks, automated trading, and video streaming have made large-scale services the norm rather than the exception. In the future, advances in 5G networks and an explosion in the number of smart devices, microservices, databases, networking, and computing tiers will make services so complex that they cannot be tuned or managed by humans.
The sheer scale, dynamic nature, and concurrency in services on 5G slices will require them to be intelligent and autonomic. They will need to continuously self-assess, learn and automatically adjust for resource needs, data quality, and service reliability. The need for increased efficiency and reduced latency between measurement and action drives our design of real-time distributed systems for feature extraction, computation, and machine learning on multimodal streaming data. We are conducting extensive research on creating end-to-end solutions using multimodal sensing technologies in the retail, public safety, and transportation domains.
Our 5G cellular network research encompasses the development of technologies on the Radio Access Network (RAN), the mobile edge, and the 5G LAN. Within the RAN, we are developing technologies that optimize massive MIMO/MU-MIMO deployments and millimeter-wave access (e.g., transmission at 28 GHz to nomadic/mobile users). At the mobile edge (MEC), our focus is on virtualization, scalability, and cloud deployment of appropriate services. Our 5G LAN research extends the benefits of 5G slicing technology to enterprise LANs to position the enterprise as the new MEC.
