Research Project in Computer Science

During this course the students will deepen their knowledge and abilities in wireless networks. An important part of system design is to identify the whole width of problems that are involved in the design for a real world implementation. Based on such an analysis, the students will derive a sequence of more detailed sub-problems that can be treated by means of tools and mechanisms that the students are already familiar with. The students will then implement solutions to those problems, evaluate them in a real system or in a simulator and evaluate performance of proposed solutions.

The course includes project work in groups. Each group has to present a written report describing the background, considerations regarding models, precise problem definition, and description of the solution, results and conclusions. Typically one would expect a report of about 15-20 pages.

Each group will be given a specific problem to be solved covering topics such as:
Channel Assignment for Mesh Networks
Gateway Discovery for Mesh Networks
Peer-to-Peer Overlay over Multihop Networks
Voice over IP support for Multihop networks
Opportunistic Protocols for Multihop Networks
Routing for Multi-Channel Mesh Networks
