Research Experience

10/2011 ~ Present
Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) Project
Hughes Network Systems, LLC
Multiple networking system

Propose a deployable and controllable multihoming system, which combines a satellite network and a terrestrial network (4G LTE), to enhance network services.
Design network system architecture and implement the prototype of the system using netfilter and SDN.

09/2009 ~ 08/2011
ICOW (Internet Cache on Wheels) Project
Columbia University
Opportunistic wireless networks for public transit systems

Defined network resource limitation and allocation problems of opportunistic networks in public transit systems.
Proposed a system-level solution to increase content availability and system usability.
Developed system architecutre, built prototype, evaluated performance and analyzed the system.

09/2007 ~ 05/2009
PBS (Permission-Based Sending) Project
Columbia University
Control plane signaling architecture for programmable routers

Proposed a signaling architecture for network traffic authorization, aiming to prevent denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and other forms of unauthorized traffic.
Exploited control plane signaling protocol architecture and secure authorization (permission).
Implemented this project using netfilter, Click modular router and NSIS (FreeNSIS).

06/2007 ~ 08/2007
Evaluation of a DHT-based P2P System
Bell Labs at Alcatel-Lucent
DHT-based P2P control messages

Evaluated the control message overhead created by the DHT-based P2P system under various churn rates and different networking sizes.
Simulated this project using OMNeT++ and OverSim.

01/2006 ~ 05/2007
7DS (Seven Degrees) Project
Columbia University
Distributed wireless networks

Measurements of Multicast Service Discovery

Measured and analyzed multicast service discovery traffic in a campus wireless network.
Analyzed different service discovery delay models in terms of packet overhead and service discovery delay under different network sizes and mobilities.

Accerelating Service Discovery

Proposed and algorithm to accelerate service discvory in wireless Zero Configuration Networking (Zeroconf) mobile ad hoc networks.
Allowed users to discover network topology changes and new services in real-time while minimizing network overhead.
Implemented and tested this project on Linux, using C.

P2P Information Exchange

Worked on data exchanges on wireless mobile ad hoc networks by providing an application-level set of protocol services that will enable exchange of information between peer devices.
Implemented and tested this project on Linux using C, and also implemented and tested it using LEAF (Linux Embedded Application Firewall), an embedded Linux distribution, on a WRAP (Wireless Router Application Platform).

01/2004 ~ 12/2005
The Armstrong Project
Columbia University
Wireless sensor networks

Designed a localized and sink-oriented MAC protocol in wireless sensor networks, focusing on congestion control and aggregation of information.
Wrote a C++ code of this protocol and tested it on NS-2 simulator.
