What keeps us awake during the day
• Can video be used as a proxy to assess network readiness for serious interactive gaming?
• How do we use a zero-reference quality meter to enhance pervasive multimedia distribution?
• How do we model user psychology and semantics in recommending TV programs and Ads?
• How do we evolve from QoS to QoI to QoE?
• How do we re-use core competencies in different verticals?
• How do we promote Open Collaborations with Industry in multiple engagement models: 1-1, 1-N, M-1, M-N ?
Summary of Recent Research Highlights
• Advanced Video Coding• Software-based VoIP enhancements• 100 Gigabit Ethernet• Flexible Last Mile : FTTH + In-Residence Radio • Predictive algorithm for DOCSIS3.0 Traffic• Identity Assertion
• Prototyping of no-reference Video Quality Meter• Wireless SensorNet Research and IPTV-Demo• Mobile Broadband Gaming:
– Challenges to the NG-network and the user interface
Wireless Sensornets

Partnership Model
• GTRC “owns” but sponsors get:• Results shared at IAB meetings • Equal access to consortium research• Equal opportunity to license research
• GTRC “owns” IP,but sponsor gets: • First visibility• Non-exclusive royalty-free license for internal use• Right of first refusal to an exclusive license•Value of that license is negotiated
