Stage legend

In the field of academic research impact, Microsoft Research Asia has always encouraged.

This year, Microsoft Research A

sia wireless and Internet Group in its research recognized best four academic Conference (SIGCOMM ' 09, MobiCom ' 09, MobiSys ' 09, NSDI ' 09) has a publication, where the NSDI ' 09 papers or the best papers. But these papers both in quantity or quality, and the world's best universities and research institutions.

It is worth mentioning that the first time in China by ACMMobiCom ' 09 Conference, Microsoft Research Asia has 3 papers selected.

This not only reflects the Microsoft Research Asia in this area of the world-leading research capability, but also means that will become the leading pioneer of future technology. According to Zhang yinna1, ACMMobiCom is in mobile computing and wireless network connection forward-looking academic standards of the highest annual meeting. Now wireless network technology in the direction of large heat such as Manet, wireless Multihop routing, sensor networks, and so are the oldest in ACMMobiCom discussion.

The winning of three essays, first by the researcher Tan kun-led "wireless LAN utility SDMA join", presented in the framework of the existing wireless LAN can be implemented using SDMA technology boost wireless capacity; the second article Guo chuanxiong researcher and UCLA (UCLA), collaborator of the "multi-core processors in the micro-structure Extensible wireless Internet," and proposed wireless technology to connect the future microchip will appear in the hundreds of thousands of processor cores; third article by network multimedia group-Chong-led "is used in large scale wireless sensor network in the compresses data acquisition"; compressing sensing new theory applied to wireless sensor networks, less data transmission Gets the same information, and thus extend the life of the network.

This year's ACMMobiCom Conference, wireless and Internet Group also demonstrates a called Sora's software defined radio technology.

This is the world's first pure software methods for achieving high-speed wireless communication systems, they are used in normal Windows software on your PC for future access for 4 g mobile communication standard LTE uplink and 20MHz channel enables real-time communication 43Mbps. At the same time, it also demonstrates a seemingly strange combination: the same channel in uplink with LTE, downlink with WiFi. "This shows the quintessence of software defined radio: on the same channel in multiple wireless standards exist and free to switch and change. " Zhang yinna1 said.

Current software radio, FPGA-based mainly on specific platforms, development time and effort.

As foreseen by the rapidly increasing number of core integration and parallel data processing will fundamentally change the current status of the wireless communications and software-based cognitive wireless system than the existing wireless technologies are more powerful, flexible and efficient, wireless and Internet Group of researchers a new path, and the CPU based on universal, high-performance software-defined radio system platform (Sora). This is the future with a flexible and efficient software to replace cumbersome and time-consuming hardware implementation of the Foundation. "The future of the wireless communications industry may have a subversive. ”

To promote this area of technology development, Microsoft plans to Sora platform open to the world, the academic community in the most advanced software-defined radio platform of the future communication technologies.

"It can be a variety of wireless technology research, including the physical layer and media access control, and cross-layer optimization, etc.

The programming model and a variety of programming tools greatlyReduces high speed broadband wireless system development workload, thus contributing to a variety of innovative research on wireless system provides an effective, practical research and experiment platform. "At the same time, wireless and Internet Group also in research based on software radios, next generation wireless systems architecture and key technologies. Current research priorities including high speed wireless media access control, multiple antenna system, the space division multiplexing technology, as well as the frequency based on dynamic access wireless systems.

Behind the preacher

As President of the Assembly of this ACMMobiCom, Zhang yinna1 and it is behind the preacher.

ACM (for computing machinery) is the world's largest computer industry professional organizations and scientific and educational computer society.

ACM MobiCom is in mobile computing and wireless network connection, the highest annual meeting. Fifteen years ago, from the beginning of the first ACMMobiCom, Zhang yinna1 almost every year to participate actively in, and continue to penetrate the Chinese influence.

This year, is ACMMobiCom 15 years first came to Asia, arrived in Beijing, and Zhang yinna1 's fight for years.

Before coming to Microsoft, Zhang yinna1 Ph.d. degree in the United States, and subsequently in the United States industrial sector and school to work for more than a decade, during which time he has been engaged in wireless and network areas of research, "before coming to Microsoft, I've been trying to bring to China ACMMobiCom, just did not find the right opportunity and platform. " Three years ago, Zhang yinna1 is unique to Microsoft Research Asia culture and liberal research environment, a wireless and Internet Group, ACMMobiCom into China also becomes a reality.

"I am pleased to be able to convince ACM to this year's ACMMobiCom on Beijing Office, and Microsoft Research Asia's strong support and cooperation.

Nearly 400 participants, 40% of China's young teachers and students, to participate in world-class academic event so that they benefit from. We are very pleased to be able to do academic researchin China. The Conference Office was so successful that are ACM's consistent high praise. "It is worth mentioning, by the National Natural Science Foundation, Microsoft Research Asia and Tsinghua University jointly organized special students register support scheme for nearly 100 China University related professional college and graduate students be attending this meeting, the international best academic conferences, and face-to-face with world-class master.

Preview the future

"Our approach is both theory and practice, by building a practical system to validate the theory and experiment to refine the system.

" Wireless and Internet Group of other projects are also deeply mixed into this principle. Zhang yinna1, as information technology into the cloud computing era, many companies are beginning to build large scale data centers to support daily life essential various Internet online services.

In the near future, people will be built containing millions of servers Super Data Center.

How to integrate such a large number of servers on the Internet will become an important challenge. In wireless and Internet Group's data center network project, the researchers used a covers all aspects of data center networking solutions to address this challenge. They will cloud users, Internet and data centre as a whole, and from a network perspective to improve Internet online services user experience.

A study on mobile systems, wireless and Internet Group of researchers are studying how to make the mobile device and cloud computing, cloud services, seamless integration, and develop a series of cloud computing to new applications, thereby greatly enhances the user's mobile experience.

"We put research results published in this area of the world's top academic meeting, and strive to promote to Microsoft products.

" Technology of the future scenes, in this way every day at Microsoft Researchwireless and Internet Group constantly.
