Collaborative Research: Industry Unversity Cooperative Research Center for Wireless Internet

这个产学研合作研究中心将在三个关键的重叠领域进行研究。协作通信和网络研究将研究建立在物理层和网络层合作的节点之上的无线网络。相对于基础设施和自组织网络，协作网络提供了更高的容量、可靠性和效率。第二个研究领域侧重于延长便携式终端的电池寿命，从而消除一个主要的提高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。被调查的无线应用程序包括内容分发、利用无线基础设施无处不在的位置感知的应用程序，以及适应无线相对于有线网络的容量限制的应用程序。每个项目都侧重于将互联网无线连接到便携式移动信息设备的特定模式。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.
