APAN 46 Best Student Paper Award Went to ISIF Asia Alumni

Lei Qian, team member of ISIF Asia 2017 Grant recipient – Coding Internet satellite links for better goodput under bandwidth and latency constraints, was awarded APAN 46 Best Student Paper at Auckland, New Zealand.

APAN (Asia Pacific Advanced Network) meeting and research workshops provide global research and education networks with an environment to exchange research ideas, best practices, and real-life applications in the broad field of all working groups under APAN. In APAN 46 in 2018, Best Student Paper was selected based on the technical merit and significance of the paper. Lei Qian presented in the research workshop to introduce their project ‘Stimulating Satellite Internet Performance on a Small Island’ and went home with the Best Student Paper Award. His presentation slides can be found here.

Leading by Dr. Ulrich Speidel, the ‘Satellite Internet’ project focused on establishing realistic satellite simulator of UDP flows, and automated experiments run on non-coded and coded configurations in small remote islands at South Pacific. This satellite simulator is able to improve the dominant Internet transport protocol TCP that usually underperforms in remote islands. To find more details about their project on the technical side, read their paper submitted to APAN 46.

The Final Technical Report for their ISIF Asia 2017 grant was published in January 2019. It builds on their previous work also funded by ISIF Asia during 2016 and 2014 (download reports in PDF).
