Today’s Internet operates with the address-based TCP/IP protocol architecture developed 40 years ago, which greatly limits the full promises of new Augmented Reality (AR) applications. AR implementations face challenges in performance, scalability, and availability upon disasters. ICN-Enabled Secure Edge Networking with Augmented Reality (ICE-AR) aims to develop a new wireless network architecture to address these limitations, and provide pervasive support for emerging AR applications.
To create this new architecture, the ICE-AR team is applying seven years of research efforts on the National Science Foundation (NSF)-sponsored Named Data Networking (NDN) project, a realization of the Information Centric Networking (ICN) vision. And with ICE-AR, REMAP’s Jeff Burke is extending his experience as co-PI and application team lead. The design is emphasizing application-level data naming, data-centric security and computing, asynchronous publishing and consumption, and efficient use of local and proximate resources. The architecture is unifying latest advances in wireless communication with domain-specific computing technologies to accelerate AR at the wireless edge and deliver robust performance, with or without the pre-deployed infrastructure support.
