The project focuses on answering the question: How can the challenges that arise due to the multiplicity, diversity, and heterogeneity of access technologies, devices, networks, and content in future wireless data networks, be addressed effectively? The question is explored from a purely end-to-end standpoint, and more specifically through transport layer solutions. In particular, the project's goals are to make the following contributions: (i) Establishment of principles for the design of transport layer protocols that can address the unique challenges posed by the multiplicity (e.g. number of interfaces), diversity (e.g. content requirements), and heterogeneity (e.g. access technology characteristics) in future wireless data networks; (ii) Realization of the principles through mechanisms appropriate for the target environment; and (iii) Effective integration of the realizations through scalable approaches. Through the above contributions, the project will achieve the eventual goal of a unified transport layer solution for future wireless data networks - a solution that comprehensively handles the multiple dimensions of heterogeneity, while seamlessly providing the mobile user with the most effective performance possible. In addition, other projected outcomes include: (a) Undergraduate curriculum development through twosenior undergraduate classes taught by the PI, (b) Undergraduate research participation through Georgia Tech's UROP program, (c) Graduate curriculum development through a Wireless Networking class taught by the PI, (d) Graduate research participation leading to master's and doctoral research, (e) Industry collaboration and experience for graduate students through ongoing joint projects with the industry, (f) Support for minority students, and (h) Pursuit of standardization efforts and technology transfer.

该项目的重点是回答这样一个问题：如何有效地解决未来无线数据网络中由于接入技术、设备、网络和内容的多样性、多样性和异构性而带来的挑战？这个问题是从纯粹的端到端的角度来探讨的，更具体地说，是通过传输层解决方案来探讨的。具体而言，该项目的目标是作出以下贡献：（一）制定设计传输层协议的原则，以应对网络多样性带来的独特挑战，（例如接口数量）、多样性（如内容要求）和异质性（ii）通过适合于目标环境的机制实现这些原则;以及㈢通过可扩展的方法有效整合各项实现。通过上述贡献，该项目将实现为未来无线数据网络提供统一传输层解决方案的最终目标，该解决方案将全面处理异构性的多个维度，同时无缝地为移动的用户提供最有效的性能。此外，其他预计成果包括：（a）通过PI教授的两个高级本科班开发本科课程，（B）通过格鲁吉亚理工学院的UROP计划参与本科研究，（c）通过PI教授的无线网络课程开发研究生课程，（d）参与研究生研究，以进行硕士和博士研究，（e）通过与产业界正在进行的联合项目，为研究生提供产业界合作和经验，（f）支持少数民族学生，以及（h）开展标准化工作和技术转让。
