Project Highlights

Project Objectives:

•    Investigate fundamental distributed computing issues in general communication networks, as well as in emerging ad-hoc, wireless, sensor and peer-to-peer computing networks.
•    Develop radio resource management schemes and corresponding schedulers that maximize throughput with user’s QoS guarantee and optimize TCP/IP performance over UMTS.
•    Invent scalable IP address lookup and packet classification algorithms with reduced complexity, lower memory requirements and increased search and update speeds.
•    Improve performance and security of mobile and wireless networks and more specifically service discovery, satellite transport protocols, intrusion detection and spontaneous communication.
•    Develop algorithms for basic network management functions such as call admission control and bandwidth allocation based on on-line measurements using fuzzy logic control.
•    Develop methods to understand traffic measurements data for MPLS networks and invent estimation techniques to obtain traffic volume that can be used to size Label Switched Paths.
•    Develop tools to apply with benefits the theory of Network Calculus (NetCal) for the design and performance modeling of routers.
•    Develop new methodologies for resource management and control for QoS assurance in evolving broadband optical and IP networks.
