Providing on-demand sports video to mobile devices

Sports video is very popular thanks to its in-progress (live) information and entertainment values. Many users are motivated to access sports video using mobile devices, since they often cannot watch the game on their sofa due to a busy life and inability to cope with lengthy games. The current generation of mobile video services has only focused on supporting the when and where consumers can watch their favorite sports matches. Since total control over playback and content is neglected, users often have to settle with low-quality videos and static content, which have been pre-processed. This limitation slows down the progress towards an era in which users are comfortable using their mobile devices to enjoy sports broadcasts while gaining total control over what they can watch at their most convenient time and place. In this article, we will describe a mobile video system which offers users full support over the when, where and how they want to watch sports video. The main new features offered are: (1) non-linear navigation within single and/or multiple documents; (2) customizable and personalized summaries; (3) multimodal access and video representation.

802.11 Mac

We present two novel noncooperative MAC layer fingerprinting and tracking techniques for Wi-Fi (802.11) enabled mobile devices. Our first technique demonstrates how a per-bit entropy analysis of a single captured frame allows an adversary to construct a fingerprint of the transmitter that is 80.0 to 67.6 percent unique for 50 to 100 observed devices and 33.0 to 15.1 percent unique for 1,000 to 10,000 observed devices. We show how existing mitigation strategies such as MAC address randomization can be circumvented using only this fingerprint and temporal information. Our second technique leverages peer-to-peer 802.11u Generic Advertisement Service (GAS) requests and 802.11e Block Acknowledgement (BA) requests to instigate transmissions on demand from devices that support these protocols. We validate these techniques using two datasets, one of which was recorded at a music festival containing 28,048 unique devices and the other at our research lab containing 138 unique devices. Finally, we discuss a number of countermeasures that can be put in place by mobile device vendors in order to prevent noncooperative tracking through the discussed techniques.
