PhD Position in Joint Dynamic Routing/Coding in 802.11 Wireless Networks at The Hamilton Institute 2007-12-04 08:55:00 Applications are invited by well-qualified applicants for a PhD position in the area of dynamic routing and coding for 802.11 wireless networks.Wireless
networks are fundamentally different from wired networks in a number of respects. A key difference is that transmissions are inherently broadcast in nature. We are interested in taking advantage of this to develop powerful new approaches for dynamically routing packets through multi- hop wireless networks.By opportunistically exploiting reception of packets at neighbouring stations, initial tests indicate that gains of x5 or greater in network capacity can potentially be achieved.However, it is not sufficient to consider just capacity, but also quality of service and so our interest is in development optimal algorithms that meet specified quality of service constraints.There is an intimate interaction between broadcast transmission and the choice of coding used. Joint
design of routing and coding is therefore also expected to play a ke Read more:Dynamic
