We are witnessing an unprecedented worldwide growth of mobile data traffic. However, traditional network expansion methods by acquiring more spectrum licenses, deploying new macrocells, and upgrading technologies are costly and time-consuming. Clearly, network operators must find novel methods to resolve the mismatch between demand and supply growth, and mobile data offloading appears as one of the most attractive solutions. Mobile data offloading is the use of complementary network technologies, such as WiFi and femtocell, for delivering data traffic originally targeted for cellular networks. In this talk, we will survey the opportunities and challenges of mobile data offloading, and introduce our recent results on the design of optimal delayed offloading protocols and offloading market mechanisms. This is a joint work with Lin Gao and Man Hong Cheung from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and George Iosifidis and Leandros Tassiulas from Yale University.

Bio: Jianwei Huang is an Associate Professor and Director of the Network Communications and Economics Lab (ncel.ie.cuhk.edu.hk), in the Department of Information Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He received Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 2005, and worked as a Postdoc Researcher at Princeton University in 2005-07. His main research interests are in the area of network economics and games, with applications in wireless communications, networking, and smart grid. He is a Senior Member of IEEE , and a Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Communications Society (2015-16).

Dr. Huang is the co-recipient of 7 Best Paper Awards, including IEEE Marconi Prize Paper Award in Wireless Communications in 2011, and Best Paper Awards from IEEE WiOpt 2014, IEEE WiOpt 2013, IEEE SmartGridComm 2012, WiCON 2011, IEEE GLOBECOM 2010 , and APCC 2009 . He received the IEEE ComSoc Asia-Pacific Outstanding Young Researcher Award in 2009. He has co-authored four books: “Wireless Network Pricing,” “Monotonic Optimization in Communication and Networking Systems,” “Cognitive Mobile Virtual Network Operator Games,” and “Social Cognitive Radio Networks”. He has co-authored four “ESI Highly Cited Papers,” which are among the top 1% papers in terms of citations within the field of Computer Science according to Web of Science.

Dr. Huang has served as an Editor of IEEE Trans. on Cognitive Communications and Networking (2015-), Editor of IEEE Trans. on Wireless Communications (2010-), Editor of IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications -Cognitive Radio Series (2011-14), Editor and Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Communications Society Technology News (2012-14). He has served as a Guest Editor of IEEE Trans. on Smart Grid special issue on “Big Data Analytics for Grid Modernization” (2016), IEEE Network special issue on “Smart Data Pricing” (2016), IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications special issues on “Economics of Communication Networks and Systems” (2012) and “Game Theory in Communication Systems” (2008), and IEEE Communications Magazine feature topic on “Communications Network Economics” (2012).
