Future Internet will evolve into a world of mobile devices seamlessly connected. It is envisioned that the wireless dimension will allow personalized information and services be accessed and shared anywhere and anytime by using anything.
Research focus
The Wireless Networks research group conducts basic research on various aspects in wireless networks and communications. The goal is to explore techniques to improve performance, efficiency, resilience, fault-tolerance, scalability and security of wireless networks. The scientific objective is to design architectures, protocols and algorithms to provide resilient and provable high-performance services for wireless communications and networks.
The members in the group are actively participating in the international research community. They serve as organizing committee chairs for many prestigious international conferences, including WICON 2010, IWCMC 2010/2009, BODYNETS 2010, BROADNETS 2009, MOBIHOC 2008, ISM 2007 etc.
Research projects
We work on various aspects in wireless networks. Our current research focus is on the provision of fault-tolerant user-centric applications in body area networks, both indoor low-mobility and outdoor high-mobility environments. We cover the following research topics.
-
Cognitive Radio Communications and Networks: cognition, cooperation and competition.
- Wireless Mesh, Sensor and Social Networks for personalized ubiquitous computing.
- Short-range wireless communications: RFID, Biomedical Sensor Networks, Femtocell.
- Resilient, QoS-aware, distributed and secure services.
