High-speed Rails Networking

Recently, high-speed rails (HSRs) has been rapidly developed and dramatically changes the way people commute for medium-to-long distance travel. To date, 18 countries have developed HSR to connect major cities. HSR systems potentially provide a more efficient way of door-to-door transportation than airplane. However, they also pose unprecedented challenges in delivering seamless Internet service for on-board passengers. This project aims to optimize data networking performance both vertically and horizontally for a broad class of network applications and services in such extreme high mobility situation.
