R&D
Research Objectives
- Investigate cost-effective architectures to provide scalability, modularity, reliability, fault tolerant communication with unreliable devices and security;
- Determine network architecture models that enable heterogeneous wireless sensor networks to carry efficiently data from different sensors;
- Develop power efficient protocols and algorithms for internetworking with WiMax, WiFi, and cellular systems as well as sensor network interfaces in mesh and ad hoc network environments
- Develop selected service software applications such as telemedicine, intelligent building and home security, emergency preparedness and response, and intelligent vehicular systems
- Design and build a test bed to support selected applications
Research Themes
To achieve this goal, the four collaborating universities will be working on six different WiSense Themes:
