Professor Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University

Abstract

For more than twenty years, 802.11 or Wi-Fi has been the undisputed champion of enterprise and home networks. Even as fast cellular data networks have become widely available, Wi-Fi still carries the lion's share of data and has relegated other WLAN or short-range wireless standards to niche roles. But the cellular and Wi-Fi worlds have been converging, slowly, at all layers. Both cellular and Wi-Fi now have commonalities at the physical, network, access control (DIAMETER) and application layers (e.g., web and VoIP) and there's strong interest in using 5G systems for some high-end applications. In planning for 6G, what lessons can we learn from this parallel existence and the historical developments of these networks? What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a hypothetical convergence? We argue that the main difference is not radio technology, but rather the implicit understanding about the operational model, in particular authentication and authorization.

BIO:

Prof. Henning Schulzrinne, Levi Professor of Computer Science at

Columbia University, received his Ph.D. from the University of

Massachusetts in Amherst, Massachusetts. He was an MTS at AT&T Bell

Laboratories and an associate department head at GMD-Fokus (Berlin),

before joining the Computer Science and Electrical Engineering

departments at Columbia University. He served as chair of the

Department of Computer Science from 2004 to 2009, as Engineering Fellow,

Technology Advisor and Chief Technology Officer at the US Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) from 2010 to 2017. In 2019-2020, he

worked as a Technology Fellow in the US Senate.

He has published more than 250 journal and conference papers, and more

than 70 Internet RFCs. Protocols co-developed by him, such as RTP, RTSP

and SIP, are used by almost all Internet telephony and multimedia

applications.

He is a Fellow of the ACM and IEEE, has received the New York City

Mayor's Award for Excellence in Science and Technology, the VON Pioneer

Award, TCCC service award, IEEE Internet Award, IEEE Region 1 William

Terry Award for Lifetime Distinguished Service to IEEE, the UMass

Computer Science Outstanding Alumni recognition, and is a member of the

Internet Hall of Fame.
