Cross layer design in wireless ad hoc, sensor, and vehicular ad hoc network protocols

通信系统允许在需要的时间和地点获取信息，在实现可持续性方面发挥重要作用。例如，当附近的风力发电场产生大量电力时，制造工厂可以加快生产，当发电量减少时，制造工厂可以减少生产。同样，在运输和储存过程中对货物的流动进行监控，这些货物的去向可以立即更新，这些信息可以降低存储成本，帮助公司实现精益生产。通信系统有许多这样的应用，然而，无线网络的成本，包括带宽、设备、基础设施和维护的成本，是大规模部署这种网络的一个障碍。这就是为什么需要更多的研究来降低无线通信系统的成本，以实现企业和政府的经济成本。这项研究的创新将允许无线传感器和自组织网络的实时部署，并将通过有效的网络协议和架构降低部署的基础设施成本。

Communication systems play an important role in achieving sustainability by allowing access to information when and where it is needed. For example, a manufacturing facility can accelerate its production when nearby wind farm is generating large amount of electricity, and reduces its production when there is a reduction of electricity generated. Similarly, flow of goods is monitored during transportation and storage, whereabouts of these can be updated instantly, this information can reduce the cost of storage and assist companies in achieving lean manufacturing. There are many such applications to communication systems, however, the cost of wireless networking, which includes cost of bandwidth, equipment, infrastructure and maintenance, is a hindrance for vast deployment of such networks. That's is why more research is needed to reduce the cost of wireless communication systems to achieve an economical cost for businesses and governments. Innovation in this research will allow real-time deployment of wireless sensor and ad hoc networks and will reduce the infrastructure cost of deployment with efficient network protocols and architectures.
