Collaborative Research: Industry University Cooperative Research Center for Wireless Internet

这个合作的工业/大学合作研究中心将在三个关键的，重叠的领域进行研究。 协作通信和网络研究将研究在物理层和网络层合作的节点构建的无线网络。 相对于基础设施和自组织网络，合作网络提供增强的容量、可靠性和效率。 研究的第二个领域集中在延长便携式终端的电池寿命，从而去除主要增强无线终端和传感器的便利性和价值。 第三个研究领域是无线应用和相关的信息传递机制。 正在研究的无线应用包括内容分发、利用具有位置感知的无线基础设施的普遍性的应用以及适应无线维斯有线网络的容量限制的应用。 每个项目都侧重于因特网与便携式移动的信息设备的无线连接的特定模式。 除了开发和评估协议和应用程序外，信息交付研究还涉及安全性和鲁棒性。

This collaborative Industry/University Cooperative Research Center will perform research in three critical, overlapping areas. Cooperative Communications and Networking research will examine wireless networks build out of nodes that cooperate at the physical and network layers. Cooperative networks offer enhanced capacity, reliability and efficiency relative to infrastructure and ad hoc networks. The second area of research focuses on extending the battery life of portable terminals thereby removing a major enhancing the convenience and value of wireless terminals and sensors. The third research area is Wireless Applications and associated Information Delivery mechanisms. Wireless Applications under investigation include content distribution, applications that leverage the ubiquity of wireless infrastructure with location awareness, and applications that adapt to the capacity limitations of the wireless vis-a'-vis the wired network. Each project focuses on a specific mode of wireless connectivity of the Internet to portable mobile information devices. In addition to developing and evaluating protocols and applications, Information Delivery research addresses security and robustness.
