Abstract:
Stable and high-quality Wi-Fi networks play an important role in supporting fast-growing wireless data demands. According to the forecast by the Cisco Visual Networking Index, global Wi-Fi networks will carry 54% of the smartphones traffic and 70% of the tablets traffic by 2019. Comparing with cellular networks, Wi-Fi network equipments are often low-cost, easy to install and manage, and can offer high transmission rates. However, the operation of large-scale Wi-Fi networks often faces several challenges, such as the limited coverage of each Wi-Fi access point and the customers' unwillingess to pay for public Wi-Fi access. In this talk, we will present several economic mechanisms to address these challenges. The first mechanism aims at achieving a large network coverage by incentivizing the sharing of private Wi-Fi hotspots. The second mechanism increases the Wi-Fi operator's revenue through an advertisement-sponsored differential Wi-Fi pricing scheme. Both mechanisms will encourage more investment and better utilization of the Wi-Fi networks.
In this talk, we will also introduce the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Summer Workshop organized by the CUHK Faculty of Engineering, July 10-14, 2017 (

). We welcome top third-year undergraduate students and second-year master students to apply. The application deadline is April 24, 2017.
