Resource management in wireless networks

Networks must accommodate a wide range of applications. These applications may have different resource requirements (e.g. bandwidth) and different performance expectations (e.g. limited loss or limited delay) and therefore, effective resource management is an essential element of providing network services. Wireless networks provide flexible deployment even in harsh environments, however, designing services for these networks is often challenging due to increased potential for loss and resource constraints on energy and processing capability. In this proposal, my research encompasses the design of network topology, routing protocols and access control mechanisms in order to provide quality of service and reliability for different applications in wireless sensor, ad hoc and personal area networks. Three research projects are proposed:
