COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

Investigation of routing, congestion, and transmission control mechanisms for networks ranging from wireless networks (such as multihop packet radio networks, wireless local area networks, personal communications networks and cellular telephony networks) to high-speed guided media networks (such as fiber-optic ATM networks and multi- processor computer networks.) Performance of wireless networks under changes in traffic, interference, and connectivity. Interaction between channel measurements and network protocols; support for multimedia traffic. Methods to provide service guarantees for multiple classes of traffic in guided media networks. Interfaces between wireless and guided media networks. Tools used include stochastic modeling and analysis, optimization, computer simulations, estimation theory, combinatorics, and information theory.
