Asaeda Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab exploring next-generation networks in which information is exchanged by name.

AboutAbout the lab
A network where everything can share information.
The Asaeda Lab studies network mechanisms that allow everything, including people, sensors, robots, and avatars, to share information efficiently and effectively.
In addition to basic and applied research based on information-centric networking technology, the lab studies the design of the next-generation Internet using technologies such as distributed ledger technology, as well as ultra-high-definition, high-quality streaming.
This is a collaborative lab of the Graduate School of Informatics and Engineering at The University of Electro-Communications, and Prof. Asaeda, the collaborating professor, is primarily employed at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT).
As needed, students visit the professor's lab at NICT headquarters, where they carry out research, development, and demonstration experiments while working with cutting-edge technology.
Key terms
- Information-centric networking
- A content-centric network design that uses content names as the identifiers of information. Abbreviated as ICN.
- In-network caching
- A mechanism in which devices on the communication path, such as routers, store data themselves when forwarding it
- Distributed ledger technology
- A record-keeping technology typified by blockchain. It is resistant to data tampering, and the whole system keeps running even if part of it fails.
ResearchResearch themes
Communication environments are diverse and constantly changing, and Internet technology needs to evolve and innovate further. The lab studies network architecture that allows everything to share information efficiently and effectively.
*Illustrative imageInformation-centric networking (ICN)
In this form of communication, content names are used as information identifiers, and devices along the path use in-network caching to deliver data directly from nearby nodes. The lab studies routing, security, and other topics, and implements and verifies the results in the open-source software Cefore.
*Illustrative imageAutonomous robots using ICN communication
ICN is used for communication between autonomous robots so that they exchange information in real time without going through servers or the cloud. The lab verifies, in simulations and on real devices, optimal algorithms that reduce communication bandwidth and power consumption.
*Illustrative imageIntegrating distributed ledger technology and ICN
Using distributed ledger technology (DLT) and ICN, the lab manages the reliability of information circulating in the network and provides information according to user attributes. It examines how to build more secure and trustworthy network systems.
