Emerging Wireless Technologies and the Future Mobile Internet

Dipankar Raychaudhuri is Professor-II of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Director of the Wireless Information Network Lab (WINLAB) at Rutgers University. He is widely recognized as a leader in the future Internet research field and has lectured extensively on the topic at both national and international forums. During 2005–07, he organized the 'Wireless Mobile Planning Group (WMPG)' workshops at WINLAB, which inspired and set the stage for much of the content in this book. More recently, as of September 2010, he has been leading a multi-institutional National Science Foundation–sponsored Future Internet Architecture (FIA) project called 'MobilityFirst' aimed at synthesis and proof-of-concept prototyping of a comprehensive new mobility-centric network architecture. Mario Gerla is a Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of California, Los Angeles. He has led the ONR MINUTEMAN project, designing the next-generation scalable airborne Internet for tactical and homeland defense scenarios and two advanced wireless network projects under U.S. Army and IBM funding. Dr. Gerla is an active participant in future Internet research activities in the United States, co-hosting the NSF Wireless Mobile Planning Group (WMPG) workshops in 2005–07. His research group is an active contributor to the emerging field of vehicular networking and is credited with the 'CarTorrent' protocol for peer-to-peer file transfer and downloading from vehicles.
