58304114 Research Seminar on
Measurements and Modeling of Wireless
Networks
Description
- Andrei Gurtov
- 2 credit units (laudatur/graduate level)
- 22 Jan - 7 May 2004, Thu 16-18, Room A320.
In this seminar we will look at recent research in performance
measurements and simulation models of wireless links. Each participant
should review existing publications on a selected topic and present a
summary of results in a 10-15 page paper and give a 60 min talk. The goal
is to find out what measurements results exist in the area and what kind
of simulation models are used for performance evaluation. The main focus
should be on wide-area cellular networks with possible extensions to
satellite links and wireless local area networks if time allows. Possible
topics include traffic characterization, error losses, delay variation,
packet reordering, on-demand resource allocation, bandwidth variation,
active queue management of wireless links, and effects of mobility.
We focus on end-user perspective (performance of transport protocols and
applications) rather than on system issues (overall capacity, etc.)
Prerequisites for taking this seminar include good knowledge of wireless
networks from courses such as Data communication I/II, Performance
Evaluation, and Advanced Wireless Communication Systems, and some research
experience from the Scientific Writing course or from the Master's thesis.
In addition to a paper and a presentation, presence on 3/4 of all sessions
is required to complete the seminar. The seminar is in English.
The seminar paper should be in Latex format and use the IEEE
template. Participants are encouraged to experiment with wireless
models in the ns2 simulator.
