RATO: RAN-Assisted Transport Optimization for 5G and Beyond
Aug 2025 – Present
Ongoing Master's Thesis | Advisor: Prof. Mythili Vutukuru (opens in a new tab), IIT Bombay
Highlights
- Designing dynamic in-RAN control mechanisms in 5G to mitigate RAN bufferbloat and end-host RTT inflation under standard congestion control algorithms
- Instrumented the 5G RAN datapath with real-time telemetry, characterizing how RLC queue buildup drives end-host TCP RTT inflation
