Topics of Interest • Transport over wired/wireless • Energy aspects (transmission/queuing) • Internetworking with sensors • Algorithmic aspects of ad hoc networks
Transport over wired/wireless • Already a “classic” research topic • Still calls for improvements in areas such as • Congestion control and transmission policies • Protocol headers • Energy performance
Energy aspects • Energy potential and energy expenditure • Risk Index – System Efficiency • Cross-layer optimization • Queuing/Scheduling/Dropping Policies for energy efficiency of mobile applications
Internetworking with sensors • Global Internetworking • Reliable Sensor Protocols • Less Impact – Better Service • Non Congestive Queuing • Algorithmic Aspects of Sensor Networks
