04327227普拉卡什这项为期两年的美国-瑞士合作研究项目，由达拉斯德克萨斯大学的拉维·普拉卡什和洛桑联邦理工学院的安德烈·斯奇珀共同完成，重点是为移动自组织网络或MANET中的可靠广播和组播创建协议。在研究者提出的可靠组播中，保证预期的接收者能够收到消息，而目前的IP组播是尽力而为的服务。研究人员建议开发理论解决方案，以解决在移动网络中转向保证交付所固有的问题。智能优点目标是为移动自组织网络开发可靠的广播和组播协议，这些协议具有拓扑感知、带宽感知和存储效率。研究人员建议从简化的模型逐步转向更复杂、更逼真的模型。更广泛的影响该提案为这位美国调查人员在移动自组织网络资源管理--空间维度方面的NSF职业生涯奖增加了一个国际维度。这项工作得到了这位瑞士研究人员在传统系统中可靠多播和原子广播方面的专业知识的补充。总之，他们的方法将促进对MANET中可靠广播和多播的理解。该项目通过在瑞士一家领先的机构进行研究，为一名美国研究生提供了一次国际体验。该项目提高了学生的国际研究技能，并帮助为未来的合作发展国际联系。

04327227PrakashThis two-year U.S.-Switzerland cooperative research project between Ravi Prakash of the University of Texas at Dallas and Andre Schiper of the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne focuses on creating protocols for reliable broadcast and multicast in mobile ad hoc networks or MANETs. In reliable multicast as proposed by the investigators, the intended recipients are guaranteed to receive messages; whereas, present IP multicast is a best effort service. The investigators propose to develop theoretical solutions to problems inherent in moving to guaranteed delivery in mobile networks. Intellectual MeritThe objective is to develop reliable broadcast and multicast protocols for mobile ad hoc networks that are topology aware, bandwidth conscious and storage efficient. The researchers propose to move from a simplified model to successively more complicated and realistic models. Broader ImpactsThe proposal adds an international dimension to the U.S. investigator's NSF Career award on Resource Management in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks - the Spatial Dimension. This work is complemented by the Swiss researcher's expertise in reliable multicast and atomic broadcast in traditional systems. Together, their approach will advance understanding of reliable broadcast and multicast in MANETs. The project gives a U.S. graduate student an international experience via research immersion at a leading Swiss institution. The project advances the student's international research skills and assists with developing international connections for future collaboration.
