Missed Opportunities * More opportunities with more infrastructure ! Conclusions A Drop Zone architecture reduces infrastructural deployment requirements Our approach can effectively tame the exponentially increasing user-generated content surge for the next 14 years, under the LTE technology assumption Slight increases in radio technology coverage can bring substantial gains * * * * * Ionut Trestian Taming User-Generated Content in Mobile Networks via Drop Zones Taming User-Generated Content in Mobile Networks via Drop Zones Ionut Trestian Supranamaya Ranjan Aleksandar Kuzmanovic Antonio Nucci Northwestern University Narus Inc. * The iPhone 4 has a 5 MP camera The HTC Evo has a 8 MP camera Powerful New Mobile Devices * Social network websites among the most popular websites on the Internet User desire to create virtual records of their lives using photos, videos, sounds Online Social Networks Current Cellular Networks Cannot Cope ATT officials warned that the Internet will “not be able to cope with the increasing amounts of video and user-generated content being uploaded” Most providers are changing billing plans to address this problem The current efforts conducted by some providers are focused on “educating customers about what represents a megabyte of data and improving systems to give them real-time information about their data usage” * Postponed Delivery – Drop Zones * Assume users can tolerate upload delays (we will show later that this is indeed the case) Drop Zones Certain locations will have better connectivity(e.g. 4G) Client Side - Application running in the background, users upload content, they are given the option to delay Network Side - Device that intercepts delayed uploads and schedules them over the backhaul link * Research Questions * Where to place Drop Zones such that they absorb the most content possible? What is the relationship between postponed content delivery intervals users can tolerate and needed i
