telecommunication and computer networks;
- Applications to broadband, satellite,
wireless, mobile, and personal communications networking.
Summary
My research interests are
in the area of telecommunications and computer communications networking. The
scope of the research includes design, evaluation, and analysis of network
architectures, protocols, and network management, control, and internetworking
strategies for reliable, efficient, and cost effective communications. The
convergence of wireless and broadband communications has led to the integration
of heterogeneous wireless and wireline networking
technologies, often into the same device, to enable ubiquitous multimedia communications
among people and machines regardless of locations and mobility. The thrust of
the research is to contribute to the development of this emerging global
network, with current focuses on multimedia services over heterogeneous
wireless mobile broadband networks and wireless networking for sensors,
vehicles, machines and personal multimedia devices.
Current projects include:
(1) Exploiting cognition and adaptivity in advanced
wireless network system designs, (2) Next generation broadband wireless access
employing fibre-connected massively distributed
antennas, (3) Wireless sensor networks for video surveillance, (4) Towards
fourth generation wireless networks incorporating cognitive radios, (5)
Security solutions for the future Canadian smart grid, (6) Context-aware
services in next generation networks with applications to vehicular networking
environments, and (7) Developing next generation intelligent vehicular networks
and applications. The issues addressed in these projects include mainly:
scheduling and resource management in networks to provide quality of service
guarantees, design of network architectures and protocols for high performance
and energy-efficient broadband communications, development of protocols and
mechanisms for security and privacy in wireless networks, and development of
protocols and algorithms for application-specific wireless networking. Most
projects involve novel designs and performance evaluation by modeling and
analysis using analytical, numerical, and simulation methods. Where feasible,
experimentations with practical implementations are also contemplated.
