The Networking research division headed by Dr. Kia Makki focuses on researching and developing network architectures and protocols mainly for wireless networks (Ad-Hoc Networks and Sensor Networks among others) and also some wired networks. We envision the networks (wired and wireless) to exhibit the following key characteristics:
-
A much larger and more dominant mobile user population enabled by the advancement and widespread pervasiveness of wireless networking technologies
-
Increased security requirement to the diversity of network applications by way of supporting fine grained quality of service provisioning and routing characteristics of wired and wireless network

Selected Projects
|
-
Network architectures for next generation wireless networks, including conventional cellular networks, ad-hoc multi-hop networks, and other hybrid network models. Algorithms for wireless network protocol layers including the medium access control, network, transport, and middleware layers.
-
Architectures for providing quality of service (QoS) in the future Internet in heterogeneous wired and wireless network environments. Special focus areas include: Heuristic and Exact Algorithms for QoS Routing with Multiple Constraints, an efficient approximation algorithms for Delay-Cost-Constrained QoS.
-
Approaches for making network more secure including wireless Ad-hoc network and sensor network. Research areas include security algorithms in Ad hoc Networks and Secure Data Networking for enterprise.
-
Architectures for providing efficient routing and multicasting in heterogeneous wired and wireless network environments. Research includes Performance Evaluation of the Delay-Constrained Least-Cost Routing, Efficient Implementations of a Delay-Constrained Least-Cost Multicast Algorithm. Efficient Implementations of Bounded Shortest Multicast Algorithm.
