The Cloud that Runs the Mobile Internet: A Measurement Study of Mobile Cloud Services
Mobile applications outsource their cloud infrastructure deployment and content delivery to cloud computing services and content delivery networks. Studying how these services, which we collectively denote Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), perform over Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) is crucial to understanding some of the performance limitations of today's mobile apps. To that end, we perform the first empirical study of the complex dynamics between applications, MNOs and CSPs. First, we use real mobile app traffic traces that we gathered through a global crowdsourcing campaign to identify the most prevalent CSPs supporting today's mobile Internet. Then, we investigate how well these services interconnect with major European MNOs at a topological level, and measure their performance over European MNO networks through a month-long measurement campaign on the MONROE mobile broadband testbed. We discover that the top 6 most prevalent CSPs are used by 85% of apps, and observe significant differences in their performance across different MNOs due to the nature of their services, peering relationships with MNOs, and deployment strategies. We also find that CSP performance in MNOs is affected by inflated path length, roaming, and presence of middleboxes, but not influenced by the choice of DNS resolver.

Dynamic Adaptation of Multimedia Presentations for Videoconferencing in Application Mobility

Dynamic Adaptation of Multimedia Presentations for Videoconferencing in Application Mobility
Application mobility is the paradigm where users can move their running applications to heterogeneous devices in a seamless manner. This mobility involves dynamic context changes of hardware, network resources, user environment, and user preferences. In order to continue multimedia processing under these context changes, applications need to adapt not only the collection of media streams, i.e., multimedia presentation, but also their internal configuration to work on different hardware. We present the performance analysis to adapt a video-conferencing prototype application in a proposed adaptation control loop to autonomously adapt multimedia pipelines. Results show that the time spent to create an adaptation plan and execute it is in the order of hundreds of milliseconds. The reconfiguration of pipelines, compared to building them from scratch, is approximately 1000 times faster when re-utilizing already instantiated hardware-dependent components. Therefore, we conclude that the adaptation of multimedia pipelines is a feasible approach for multimedia applications that adhere to application mobility.

Autonomic Adaptation of Multimedia Content Adhering to Application Mobility
Today,manyusersofmultimediaapplicationsaresurrounded by a changing set of multimedia-capable devices. However, users can move their running multimedia applications only to a pre-defined set of devices. Application mobility is the paradigm where users can move their running applications (or parts of) to heterogeneous devices in a seamless manner. In order to continue multimedia processing under the implied context changes in application mobility, applications need to adapt the presentation of multimedia content and their internal configuration. We propose the system DAMPAT that implements an adaptation control loop to adapt multimedia pipelines. Exponential combinatorial growth of possible pipeline configurations is controlled by architectural constraints specified as high-level goals by application developers. Our evaluation shows that the pipeline only needs to be interrupted a few tens of milliseconds to perform the reconfiguration. Thus, production or consumption of multimedia content can continue across heterogeneous devices and user context changes in a seamless manner.
