My current research interests are in the broad areas of mobile networking, system and security, with a recent focus on renovating 5G access technologies, AI for networks, 5G/IoT security, mobile edge computing (mainly for autonomous drones, vehicles and robots).

Active Research

• AI for Networks: New Mobility and AI for 5G Security

  • (part of NSF AI Institute for Future Edge Networks and Distributed Intelligence (AI-EDGE), CNS-2112471)

• Evolving Mobile Network Security

  • Cellular-911 Security (CNS-2246051)

• Diagnostic Testing of Next-Generation Radio Access Network (CNS-2403048)

• AirLab: Towards fully autonomous drones in our daily life

• MI-LAB: Harnessing network data to spur operational mobile network research (a follow-up of our prior project MobileInsight)

• Robots4U: Personal Robots For YOU

Past Research

• AIM: Amplify Intelligence in Mobile Networked Systems (CNS-1750953)–> Network configuration at AI-EDGE.

  • Tutorial on AIM, MobileInsight and beyond

  • This is a brief summary of high-level position talk to the public. It has basic idea, approaches and main results, by skipping all technical details of each research problem under this umbrella project: (pps), (PDF).

  • This is a tutorial of L2/L1 latency analysis enabled by MobileInsight. It was originally used for Hackathon, co-located at ACM SIGCOMM on Aug 25, 2018, and then was reorganized and substantially enhanced for public distribution (step-by-step learning and practice). The used codes and sample logs can be found here. You can find the codes developed by the hackathon team (Quentin, Maryam, Syed and Ensar) at github.

  • This is an 3-hr tutorial on GlobeCom’17 on Dec 8, 2017. It introduces how to step-by-step verify mobile network operations on your phones via MobileInsight. Here is the tutorial slide (pdf) (ppsx). For more up-to-date information, please check our MobileInsight website.

• Better Mobility Support in 4G Networks (CNS-1526456 –> CNS-1749049, CNS-1526985) –> next: New Mobility at AI-EDGE

• Control-Plane Protocol Verification in 4G/3G Cellular Networks (CNS-1421440 –> CNS-1748630, CNS-1423576) –> next: AIM

• Assessing the Impact on Operational Mobile Networks in the Face of COVID-19 Public Health Crisis (CNS-2027650)

• Evolving Mobile Network Security

  • Combating caller ID spoofing

  • LTE Voice/SMS security (CNS-1527613 –> CNS-1749045, CNS-1528122)

  • Securing mobile data charging (CNS-1421933 –> CNS-1753500, CNS-1422835)

  • HackCellular: All-In-One Demo of Real Attacks in Cellular Networks

• Novel Mobile Communication, Sensing and Applications over visible light and acoustic signals

  • InFrame: Hide Data Bits In Video Frames
