This project, creating a wireless research test-bed and integrating the existing wired distributed computing facilities and multimedia lab, enables research to be tried out in a wireless environment. Current research projects are in areas of adaptive power aware hierarchical routing schemes, fault-tolerant authentication, dynamic resource allocation, and design and evaluation of push-pull delivery of video data in mobile/wireless networks, and robust mobile agents. The facility, including a number of mobile nodes (some mobile robot nodes), will allow exploration and enhancement to the existing research, initially focused on wired and distributed computing, on a wireless platform. Because some of the assumptions made in a wired distributed system, such as negligible loss of information, rate of error, fault tolerance, and available resources, are no longer valid, algorithms that look robust in a fixed network distributed environment, behave totally different on a wireless platform. The project aims at evaluating, studying, and experimenting with prototypes and analytical results on the new platform to understand the parameters that can affect the efficiency and design of those algorithms in terms of power, bandwidth utilization, communication, storage cost, latency, and delays in a wireless medium. Specifically, the infrastructure supports the following projects: Adaptive Routing Protocols, Fault Tolerance and Secure Authentication, Robust Mobile Agents, and Efficient Transfer of Multimedia Data in Mobile Networks.The first project looks into adaptive power efficient routing schemes for the next generation wireless networks, power control and efficient routing for self organizing wireless sensor networks, hierarchical routing algorithms, data dissemination and aggregation. The second features virtual agent modeling, hierarchical authentication of the mobile base stations, and replicated mobile agents. The third looks at operation in the presence of faults; and the last, at design evaluation of push-pull delivery of video data in mobile/wireless networks and dynamic resource allocation to support mobility in wireless multimedia systems.New courses are being proposed and developed in two departments by the PIs, including Mobile and Sensor Data Management, High Speed Networks, MEMS and Wireless Sensor Networks, Wireless Communication Systems, Distributed Systems, Computer Security, and Advanced Computing. The new facilities will also be used for doctoral, masters, and senior undergraduates. The students will complement their projects on wireless and sensor network infrastructure getting hands-on experience. The project also explores homeland security and commercial applications. In a military environment the work explores hierarchical mobile architecture with movable base stations.

该项目通过建立一个无线研究试验台，并整合现有的有线分布式计算设备和多媒体实验室，使研究能够在无线环境中进行试验。目前的研究项目是在自适应功率感知分层路由方案，容错认证，动态资源分配，并在移动的/无线网络，和强大的移动的代理的推挽式视频数据传输的设计和评估领域。该设施，包括一些移动的节点（一些移动的机器人节点），将允许探索和增强现有的研究，最初集中在有线和分布式计算，在无线平台上。由于有线分布式系统中的一些假设，如可忽略的信息丢失，错误率，容错性和可用资源，不再有效，在固定网络分布式环境中看起来健壮的算法，在无线平台上表现完全不同。该项目旨在评估，研究和试验新平台上的原型和分析结果，以了解可能影响这些算法在功率，带宽利用率，通信，存储成本，延迟和无线介质中延迟方面的效率和设计的参数。具体而言，该基础设施支持以下项目：自适应路由协议，容错和安全认证，健壮的移动的代理，以及移动的网络中多媒体数据的高效传输。第一个项目研究下一代无线网络的自适应功率有效路由方案，自组织无线传感器网络的功率控制和有效路由，分层路由算法，数据传播和汇总。第二个功能虚拟代理建模，分层认证的移动的基站，并复制移动的代理。第三种是故障情况下的操作;最后，在移动的/无线网络中的视频数据的推拉传输和动态资源分配以支持无线多媒体系统中的移动性的设计评估。PI正在两个部门提出和开发新课程，包括移动的和传感器数据管理，高速网络，MEMS和无线传感器网络，无线通信系统，分布式系统、计算机安全和高级计算。新设施也将用于博士，硕士和高级本科生。学生将补充他们的无线和传感器网络基础设施项目，获得实践经验。该项目还探讨了国土安全和商业应用。在军事环境中的工作探讨了分层移动的架构与移动基站。
