High-Speed Wireless Network Architecture for Multimedia Support
Our group works on the development of MAC and routing protocols for a variety of wireless networks. Such protocols account for quality of service constraints as well as the wireless channel characteristics and traffic requirements. To develop a broad understanding of the Quality of Service issues in wireless networks we validate our proposed architectures using simulation, analytical tools as well as experimental prototypes.
- Stream Allocation in MIMO Ad Hoc Networks
- Bandwidth Allocation Framework for Heterogeneous Multi-Radio Wireless
- MAC protocol with QOS support for UWB based Wireless Networks
- Integration of 802.16 and 3G Networks
- Packet scheduling for QOS support in Metropolitan Area Networks
- Spacing-based Channel Occupancy REgulation (SCORE)
- Multi-channel coordinated Temporal Topology control (MOTTO)
- QoS On-demand Routing in Mobile Ad hoc Networks
- MAC Protocol for Inter-Vehicle Communication
- PERCEPT: Assisting the Visually Impaired
Ubiquitous Multimedia Delivery
Our lab designs and implements transcoding architectures that provide quality of service and security support to heterogeneous clients' devices over diverse wireless networks. We provide below a description of our proof-of-concept prototype as well as a number of ongoing projects on this topic.
- Adpative MPEG-4 Video Streaming Architecture (Archies)
- Animated Space
- Application Level Networking Solutions for MobiLe users (AnMOLe)
- Multi-Device Rendezvous Architecture (MuDRA)
- Ubiquitous Wireless Access to Digital Libraries (Collaboration with UC Berkeley)
- Mobile Agent Network Access Service (MANAS)
- MOKSHA
Security
We research and develop security tools that provide adaptive security services. These tools adapt to dynamic links (e.g., wireless links), CPU load, application load, while taking into account the applications' quality of service requirements.
