“Cross-Layer Cooperation for Energy Efficiency in
Wireless Sensor Networks: Game Theoretic Solutions”, Sponsor: Office of Naval
research (ONR), October 2005 - September 2008. This project aims to
develop cross-layer resource management algorithms for energy efficiency in
wireless sensor networks. Cooperation between layers by exchanging pertinent
information is exploited for optimizing the algorithms. Furthermore,
distributed algorithms are proposed, in which each sensor makes localized,
independent decisions, to adapt its transmission parameters (powers, access
probability, routes, aggregation level, etc). The interactions between
sensors, as well as the overall behavior of the proposed protocols can be
analyzed based on a game theoretic framework. The focus of the project is on
analyzing the tradeoffs in designing energy efficient protocols, involving
interference management, data aggregation and sleeping schedule design.
NeTS: ProWiN: Programmable Radio Platforms for Highly
Dynamic Networks”, Sponsor: National Science Foundation (NSF), September
2004-August 2007. The research in this project is
concerned with designing upper layer protocols and analyzing the network
behavior for highly dynamic networks, in which the terminals have multiple
choices of adjusting to the changing channel environments: power control,
frequency selection, rate adaptation, etc. The focus is on understanding
which control knobs are more efficient and more appropriate in various networks
scenarios, and on developing distributed algorithms for networks without
infrastructure control.
“Distributed Radio Frequency Access and Networking Testbed”, Sponsor: Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), February 2006 - August 2006. (in collaboration with prof. U. Tureli, Stevens). The scope of this project is to acquire equipment for a testbed development. The current testbed may be used to test algorithms involving dynamic waveforms adaptation, and mainly for testing physical layer algorithms. To test network level algorithms, some extensions to the current acquired equipment may be required. "Optimizing spreading and channel coding in CDMA wireless ad hoc networks: a cross-layer perspective", sponsor: WiNSeC/ US Army TACOM – ARDEC. “Support of Wireless Network, August 2003-August 2004. In this project, we have investigated the effect of signal processing at the physical layer on the network capacity, and on the design of jointly optimal resource management protocols. More specifically, we have looked at one possible way to enhance the physical layer performance, i.e., to increase the resistance to noise and interference by using better channel coding techniques. In a classic CDMA system, an outer code is used in conjunction with a repetition code, to achieve the desired level of spreading and error protection capability. We have investigated the effect of using powerful channel codes to spread the signal in a CDMA system. Capacity analysis was provided, and routing protocols based on using coding/spreading codes were proposed and investigated.
