Welcome to

the Advanced Wireless Networking Lab (AWNL)

 

Our research areas covers many aspect of mobile communications and wireless networks. AWNL faculty have published a number of papers in the area of wireless AD HOC mobile Networking and sensor networks. These networks provide the capability to establish communications between various heterogeneous mobile users without the need to use the wire/wireless infrastructure network. Routing algorithms as well as new transport protocols and MAC layer protocols are being developed for AD-HOC mobile networks. Such research has great impact on the military networking as well as on the commercial environment.

The current research topics include: Wireless Ad hoc networks, Wireless sensor networks, Smart Broadcasting Algorithms, Stream Control Transport Protocols, Region-Based ad hoc routing, Probabilistic ANTS based ad hoc routing, Multi-User detection in CDMA, PHY-MAC interlayer optimization, Probabilistic Reasoning Mobile Agent System for Network Testing, Mobile IP Systems, Adaptive Multi-Media Synchronization for Teleconferencing, Multi-Media Conferencing System with Multi-Casting, Use of Genetic Algorithms in Mobile Agent Generation for Network Security, Policy-Driven Networks, Network Infrastructures for Bio-Medical Applications, User-Centered Mechanisms for Distributed Collaborations
