Architectures, Ad Hoc Wireless and Sensor Networks, Network Security, Traffic
Management and Quality of Service, Optical Networks, Performance Evaluation
and Testing Multimedia Networking, Design of Operation Support Systems in
Telecommunication CAD for Communication Systems. Faculty jointly with other
universities have made the following contribution in ITU.
"Working
Document Towards Draft New Recommendation: Achieving Quality of Service (QoS) for
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Traffic Over Satellite Networks with
Differentiated Services," ITU Contribution , Group: WP4B, Document No.:
USWP4B-004, August 18, 2000 http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~durresi/itu/itu4B.htm.
Sensor Networks Program
The research focus is on developing algorithms and
architectures for secure distribution and access in sensor networks, reliable query
reporting in sensor networks and its commercial and innovative applications such as
Detecting Contaminations, Surveillance and Target Location, and other Agricultural
Applications.

The goal is to research and develop protocols supporting
multi-gigabit-rate wireless networks of the future. Starting with the basics,
it relies on clear understanding of communication theory and the factors
affecting radiowave propagation. Presently though we have enough bandwidth,
the speed of the order of gigabit is still far behind us, sharing of the
open media with other systems operating on the same bandwidth poses a
challenge for the research community to develop protocols that not only
can support the connectivity but also should be adaptive enough to make
the hop to hop communication productive without congesting the medium.
Of course, uncertainty of the media and the complexity of operation of
wireless ad-hoc network open up technically productive areas for study
and development.
