Motivation
• VoIP is increasingly popular (esp. in enterprises)– Low cost of deployment, manageability– Increased functionality over PSTN
• VoIP over Wi-Fi adds support for mobility
• VoIP over a Wi-Fi enabled Smartphone is compelling– Smartphone (PDA + Cell-phone) gaining popularity
Support multiple radio interfaces (Wi-Fi, BT, Cellular)– Single device for all communication needs (Cellular + VoIP)

Wi-Fi has to be ON to receive incoming calls• Wi-Fi power consumption is high even when idle • Reduces battery lifetime• Cingular 2125 : GSM (6.25days), Wi-Fi (9Hrs) !
Problem Statement
Turn Wi-Fi ON only when needed!
5
Possible Approach: Wireless Wakeups
• Wake-On-Wireless [MobiCom’02]
– Multiple radio solution High power Wi-Fi radio in OFF state Wi-Fi turned on by signal on a custom low-power radio
– Barriers to deployment: Additional Infrastructure, additional radios Short range radios : Dense deployment required
6
Our Approach: Cell2Notify
• Key insights : Cellular Interfaces (GSM/CDMA) – Ubiquitous connectivity
– Usually always turned ON
– Consumes less power than Wi-Fi when “idle”
• How to signal an incoming VoIP call ? – Send a “ring” over the cellular interface
– Encode “wake-up” call using a specific Caller-ID !
Analogy: “Turn your Wi-Fi ON as soon as I call you from this number.
Turn Wi-Fi OFF after the call had ended”

Handling Calling Scenarios
• Clients may move in and out of WiFi/Cellular coverage 1. Within both Wi-Fi and cellular coverage (default)
2. Out of both Wi-Fi and cellular coverage (unreachable)
3. Out of Wi-Fi, in cellular coverage
4. In Wi-Fi, out of cellular coverage
• Robustness: required to handle these scenarios

Scenario: Within Cellular, out of Wi-Fi range
Caller ID = Normal

Cell2Notify : Implementation
• Design goals: – Easy and incrementally deployable
– No additional hardware, infrastructure
• Cell2Notify : – Modifications at the VoIP proxy
– Modifications to the Smartphone clients
13
Cell2Notify: Modifications at the VoIP Proxy
• No changes to the VoIP protocol itself (SIP)• Add “call-handling rules” for each VoIP extension • Incrementally deployable
– Configuration changes only
– Allows a mix of participating and non-participating clients
Send Ring Notification to Caller
Set outbound Caller-ID
Dial the GSM number of theSmartphone
Wait for 2 seconds
Dial SIP extension 8 times, witha 1s interval between re-tries
Send invalid greeting to caller
Disconnect call
14
Cell2Notify : Modifications on the Clients
• Only software modifications on Smartphone: – As a user-level service (daemon) on the client
– No kernel modifications
• Functionality:– Distinguish between wake-up and regular cellular call
– Ability to power its Wi-Fi interface ON/OFF
– Scan for APs. Authenticate and Associate with a particular AP
– Bring up a VoIP softphone user interface
– Detect end of VoIP call
15
Cell2Notify : Prototype Client Device
• Cell phones relatively closed platforms • Emulated a Smartphone off-the-shelf (cellphone + laptop)• Utilize Bluetooth “Headset Profile” to pair them !
Emulated Smartphone
W810i WinXP Laptop + Wi-Fi + SIP Client
Signal over Bluetooth
• Is our prototype realistic ?• Latency overhead in an integrated solution will be lower • Need to modify connection manager (Windows-CE)
16
System Evaluation
• Goal: estimate increase in battery lifetime for a Smartphone device
• Methodology : – Measure power consumption of a Smartphone for various states
Instrument Smartphone to measure accurate power
– Collect typical usage patterns Gather call logs for enterprise users Maintain call durations and call time

Latency Tradeoff
• Wi-Fi interface switched OFF : added latency to receive a VoIP call
Steps Latency (prototype)
1. Call on cellular interface 3.6 s
2. Enable Wi-Fi interface 1.4 s
3. Connect to Wi-Fi AP 0.17 s
4. Enable VoIP Client + Get IP address 4.65 s
5. SIP Notifications (Register, Subscribe) 0.52 s
Total Latency 10.34 s
• 10s of Latency 2 rings
21
Reducing Latencies
• Call on Cellular interface – Use ATA rather than external VoIP gateway (2.5s vs 3.6s)
• Enable Wi-Fi interface – Windows XP takes 1.4s, better in Win-CE
– Disable Zero-Conf, wrote specific utility to enable/disable card
• Connect to Access Point (Scan, Authenticate, Associate)– Cache known/seen APs and try them first
• Obtain IP address using DHCP – Cache DHCP lease parameters
Expected Latency in a Smartphone implementation : 7s
22
Alternative: VoIP over Cellular Data Network?
• VoIP over cellular data network (1xEvDO,GPRS/EDGE)– Expensive: requires subscription to data plan
– Poor performance: Cellular data networks not optimized for VoIP
– Greater power consumption than Wi-Fi for VoIP traffic !

Discussion: Modifying the Caller-ID
• Cell2Notify: Needs a unique-ID sent as Caller-ID– Distinguish between a regular and wake-up call
• Using a static caller-IDs can be exploited – Attackers can also spoof caller-ID– Solution: Caller-ID changes every time– S/KEY system (shared keys), Caller-ID is a one way hash
• Is modifying the Caller-ID legal ? – Done commonly by enterprise PBXs– No law in the US that prevents it for “legitimate use”– Commercial services employing spoofing [spooftel, spoofcard]
28
Alternative to VoIP over Wi-Fi
• VoIP over cellular data network (1xEvDO,GPRS/EDGE)– Expensive: requires subscription to data plan
– Performance : Cellular data networks not optimized for VoIP
– Greater power consumption than Wi-Fi for VoIP traffic !
