PROJECT OBJECTIVE:
Most current approaches to wireless networking are based on wireline network
paradigms, as this is what is best understood. Our main goal in this project is
to develop other paradigms that might lead to more efficient operation of wireless
networks. Key milestones are dissemination of research results in scientific
literature, as well as demonstration of a prototype system for efficient integration
of wireless communication services.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
In this project, our aim is to develop a better understanding of how to design
efficient wireless networks. Specifically, we will examine algorithms to determine
when radio transmitters should emit energy in order to support timely transport of
information, but avoid unwanted interference. We will examine how different types
of communication services can be integrated to increase performance to mobile users.
TECHNICAL ABSTRACT:
In this project, we propose to investigate various problems regarding resource
allocation in wireless networks. Our goal is to develop methods to efficiently
manage bandwidth resources, while supporting end-to-end application requirements.
Specific problems to be addressed include optimization of transmission schedules,
power assignments, antenna configurations, and routing. Our proposed work is
relevant to both ad hoc networks, as well as cellular based systems.
