Transport Protocols for Internet of Things

Overview
As Internet of Things (IoT) adoption grows, it will have a significant impact on cellular networks, both access and core. Potentially billions of devices with vastly different throughput, latency, and signaling requirements will communicate over cellular networks. Though typically thought off as low-traffic volume devices, IoT devices have interesting characteristics that can cause them to result in increased load on the network. The goal of the project is to develop transport layer and scheduling mechanisms that differentiates IoT traffic from the others and make prioritization accordingly. This is a collaborative work with Dr. Vamanan from the CS department of UIC, and Drs. Gopalakrishnan and Halepovic from AT&T Labs Research.
