Tag Line

An All-Wireless Mobile Network Architecture

Objective

To design, implement, and experimentally validate a wireless mesh network as an all-wireless interconnection architecture based on advanced wireless transmission techniques, mesh networking, cross-layer optimisation, and mechanisms for seamless mobility. Such a wireless network must be self-organising to maximise the network capacity and capabilities. The project will develop a suitable measurement methodology and set up experimental prototypes to validate the proposed concepts.
