Homework 10/15


1 Take a look at the bird flu news report and the following labs.
i. Get the most from Google-1
ii. Get the most from Google-2

Then do a literature survey on the net about bird flu. Try to answer the question as described in
Get the most from Google-3

Hint: Please write on your own blog and post the link in the comment below.

2. Reading assignments: prepare yourself for 10/22 class. We will discuss the subjects next week.

10/22: WiMAX

WiMAX Business

1. WiMAX 802.16e is not substitute of 3G.
3G spans from physical layer to applications while 802.16e is MAC.

2. WiMAX is part of a bigger infrastructure.
Still needs networking and transport control to support applications.

3. WiMAX highlights state of the art of computer networking while 3G and beyond is state of the art of telecommunications.

4. WiMAX points a new direction of cost down and quality of service. Maybe it is time of paradigm shift from telecom (3G and B3G) to computer networking (IEEE802). Remember 802.16 is basically non contention-based while 802.3 and 802.11 are all contention-based.

IEEE 802.16 Session 39

Executive Summary of Things Leanred

* Protocols
1. 802.16e spec to be finalized in Oct. 2005. So the Session 39 I am in is the final meeting
to make last changes, if any. Every item of 16e spec was read thru one by one during the session.
2. 802.16-2004, also known as 802.16d, has obsoleted 802.16a.
3. 802.16-2004 is for fixed broadband wireless only.

* Cerification
4. Cetecom Espanol (Spain) has certified WiMAX products since July 2005. Redline, a Canada based
WiMAX vendor, has get certified with its RedMAX product line.

* reality check
5. 16e may have battery issues. This issue must be taken care of precautiously.
6. 16e will enable verious mobile scenarios up to 120km/h.
7. 16e will be backward compatible, which means it also supports 802.16-2004

* outlook
8. WiMAX phones may undermine the base of 3G. In fact, Korea calls WiMAX phones as 4G.
9. 3.4GHz-3.7GHz spectrum is occupied by CHT-Sintel satellite only. So this is not a global issue or difficult one.
DGT of Taiwan expects to resolve it very soon.

* Session visibility
10. IEEE 802.16 chair, 802.16 working group chairs all arrived in session.
This is a superb IEEE meeting full of celebrities that has ever seen in Taiwan.

* WiMAX-enabled Services
11. Deployment of WiMAX services by ISP are real, for example Sydney of Autrailia, and many cities in North America.

* Vendors
12. Gemtek (正文), CyberTAN are 2 existing 802.16 vendors located in Taiwan.
CyberTAN is the co-host of this IEEE Session, in fact. Dr. Stanly Wang of CyberTAN chaired a series of panals today.
13. Nortel focused on 802.11-based Wireless Mesh, no solution yet on WiMAX known to the market.
14. Redline is still the leading company in WiMAX. Intel has made every efforts to dominate chip markets of WiMAX.
15. Wavesat, Alvarion, Aperto, and Samsung show strong commitments on WiMAX product R&D.

* Predictions
16. The really juicy market is not the fixed broadband wireless (802.16-2004) but in-home multimedia distribution
and mobile users on the road (802.16e).
17. The WIrelessMAN-OFDMA technology will be the winning air interface for 802.16e.
18. Let's forget license exempt WiMAX. The protocal will disappear.
19. In the future, 802.11 may disappear and the function of WLAN is replaced by 802.16e.
So the broadband wireless future may be an all-IP, all-WiMAX wireless broadband world.
802.11 will eventually die because of no Quality of Service (QoS).
20. WiMAX supports email, http, VoIP, Video Conference, and even real time service and steaming services
as described by 3GPP. WiMAX does it robustly with less cost.

wireless mesh to rescue flood in New Orleans

University of Illinois Urbana Champaign using in-house developed wireless mesh to rescue flood in New Orleans
related blog

softphones are not the same- skype, Gizmo, & Google Talk

agreed the following insights:

" Google 指出,未來他們的 Google Talk 將會相容於 SIP
這個影響是比較大的,且用 SIP 要跨平台互通語音也比較沒問題的
且 Gizmo Project (SIP-based)也已經跟 Google Talk 簽訂協議
在未來的版本, Gizmo Project 跟 Google Talk 的用戶彼此之間可以互通 IM 及 VoIP

如此一來,其他的 SIP 廠商應該也會陸續跟進
這樣一結合, Google Talk (or SIP) 的用戶市場就會迅速擴張很多倍
這是 Skype 專屬通訊協定比較不能做到的
VoIP 若是採用標準的 SIP, 那在市場上的競爭力會比 Skype 好很多
畢竟現在 SIP 的週邊設備很多,不是 Skype 專屬的設備可以比得上的"

http://blog.yam.com/candyz/archives/439526.html

comments:

For enterprises as well as governments, SIP-based softphones are obviously better:
1. on-net call is free (no inferior to Skype)
2. same rate for off-net calls (again no inferior to Skype)
3. SIP softphones are open standard versus Skype is propriatary. This means SIP
integrates more user devices (USB phones, IAD phones, Wi-Fi phones, softphones) and
encourages cross-operator roaming.
4. Gizmo (SIP-based softphone) is gaining momentum in north US. TelTel (SIP-based softphone and IM) inclusive
with Seednet has landed in Taiwan as Wagaly TelTel, a commercial VoIP service by Seednet.
5. Skype lacks manageable call logging/auditting and monitoring, which are necessary by IT policies at sectors like governments and larger enterprises.
However, Skype have gained mass and shall continue to dominate consumer markets in the coming years until SIP is capable of making

Scenarios in the mobile world in 2015

Form of brainstorming activities

1. Organize a 2-person team

2. Each team work on the defining dimensions sheets handed out in class and go through the 14 dimensions.
In case both of you in a team cannot reach a common ground on any of the dimensions, just average your opinions with equal weights on the disagreed dimensions.

3. Based on your team judgements on each of the dimensions, profile a personal life in a day of the mobile world in 2015. This John or Mary in your story could be you, your family, or a total stranger as you wish.

4. Oral presentation and defense: One member of the team plays the role of analyst and presents orally the opinions in each dimension. The other plays the role of creator and presents the scenario of the imaginary personal story of life in 2015.

Skype business model

PChome Online表示,目前該軟體所提供的網路電話語音服務是電腦端對電腦端通話的模式,目前是免費下載,這代表講電話免錢的時代已經到來,未來將發展其他模 式的撥打方式,如從電腦端撥到市內電話及手機。當跳脫PCto PC模式時,就需要收取費用。該公司將於今年下半年推出上述服務,並以「SkypeOut」為名稱,透過SkypeOut撥打國際電話,費用是傳統電話的 十分之一。

Skype是一款語音通訊(VoIP)軟體,因此在聲音的傳遞技術上也特別加強,其主要特色如下:
音質超優,傳遞不延遲:以往的網路語音聊天,最被人詬病的就是音質差又會延遲,因此Skype特別加強語音壓縮技術,其音質比一般市話更佳,甚至可媲美 CD音質,而且聲音傳遞也不延遲。
不怕防火牆阻擋:多數的 VoIP軟體碰到了防火牆或是 NAT(網路位置傳譯)都會被擋下而無法通話,但有許多人的網路都還是架設在防火牆或 NAT之內的,而Skype利用獨特的點對點(Peer-to-peer)傳輸技術,可以避開防火牆阻擋,順利跟對方連上線。
通話不怕被竊聽:如果電話中聊到重要內容,最怕被人竊聽,Skype在通話時兩方的語音資訊都是經過加密後再行送出,所以安全性很高,不必擔心電話內容被竊聽。
可讓多人同時線上交談:Skype提供語音聊天室,最多可以支援5個人同時線上聊天,這樣就可以找一群朋友同時來聊天,或者是直接開線上會議。
另外Skype也可以傳送文字簡訊以及上傳個人照片,還能把好友名單中的暱稱修改成比較好認的名字,使用上相當方便。

為 了推廣這套軟體,原創公司也積極在全球尋找合作伙伴,PChome Online是原創公司在全球首家合作的網站,負責台灣地區的推廣。目前Skype介面修改成繁體中文後,取名為PChome-Skype,未來 PChome Online會陸續提供更多的加值服務,包括用PChome-Skype撥打到電話與手機的功能。

Business model Wi-Fi vs GSM

1. Wi-Fi can not support a fast roaming between cells with car speed while GSM user can be supported up to 180 Km/hr.

2. Wi-Fi use 2.4GHz for 802.11b while GSM use 900 / 1800 /1900 MHz.
The modulation technology is CDMA for Wi-Fi and TDMA+FDMA for GSM

3. GSM data connection speed is 9.6kbps while WI-Fi is 11Mbps.
GSM can be upgraded to GPRS speed fort around 100kbps.

4. GSM Cell’s coverage range is much larger than Wi-Fi,can be up to several kilo meters while the WALN can only support up to 100 meters.

5. Can you live without GSM now ?

6. The Wi-Fi charging rate is cheaper than GSM or GPRS.
In Mainland China , China Mobile provide the GPRS service with a fixed rate
of 200人民幣 per month.
In Taiwan , the carrier provide charge the rate by bytes which is much more expensive than in Mainland China.

7. Wi-Fi can support VOIP which is a great impact to GSM voice business.
Some GSM handset will be installed WLAN which allow the user to use VOIP.

台北無線寬頻 802.16 初步架構與預算評估

Objective:
1. To overcome HFC's bottleneck and provide best-effort broadband wireless coverage
in the Metropolitan Taipei area.
2. To make use of the advanced technology and provide the scalability for future growth of the infrastructure

Basic:
A 802.16 base station can cover 40 km-square.
Therefore, if there are no obstacles such as hills, 7 base stations should be
enough to cover metropolitan Taipei.

Bandwidth:
Each station can support 72 Mbps. So the overall thoughput is as high as 504 Mbps,
equivalently, 330 T1 lines.

Benefits:
It can overcome HFC's uplink bottleneck (at 500 kbps).
802.16 can use the unlicensed 5.8 GHz (ISM band). But I have to check it this frequency is also lisense free in Taiwan.

Scalability:
When more subscribers get online, each base station can gracefully grow up to sixfold, just like the honeycomb, by just adding more
flat panel antennas and tranceivers. So the throughput grow to 3024 Mbps or 1980 T1 lines.
If further bandwidth is needed in the distant future, we can add more base stations by adding more microwave towers.

Risk:
The fundamental question is whether 7 base stations is enough. Because there are obstacles,
I don't think 7 can make it. We need some kind of terrain survey to pin down this number.

Budget:
Since Taipei is basically a basin, I would make a wild guess that 20 should suffice.
If this is a good guess, the budget to get the euipment alone is 80M TWD. Of course, we need to consider
labor cost, tower setup, among other things. So the cost would be around 100 M TWD.

Disclaimer:
I have to stress again that there are variables such as terrain features and, therefore, the report is only preliminary.
