Topic Overview:
Wireless Sensor Networks has come into wide use owing to the rapid achievements in MEMS technologies, wireless communications and digital electronics. They have a wide range of applications including environmental monitoring, security surveillance, military applications and others. Energy considerations as well as data delivery are among the most important design issues of such networks.
Objectives:
- Review of routing techniques used to maximize the network lifetime while keeping complete network coverage.
- Study how to improve network throughput by using efficient error control coding and different coding schemes without affecting the lifetime.
Outcomes:
- One to two Research papers per MS student to be submitted to prestigious conferences and journals
- One or two MSc theses
Resources:
- Approximately LE3000 to cover the registration or publication fees in International conference per paper in addition to travel expenses. (Average registration fees is $600)
- Two to three M,Sc. Students
- Network simulation tools such as OPNET or similar
