  3. Efficient Multi-Hop Networks Dr. Rene Cruz Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award, 1991 Fellow - IEEE, 2003

  4. Efficient Multi-Hop Networks • Product Vision:Software upgrades and accessories for cell phone network providers to extend coverage reach, and provide seamless roaming. • Background:Method for efficient use of multi-hop networks that is compliant with current standards, or could provide the basis for a proprietary method.

  5. Efficient Multi-Hop Networks

  6. Efficient Multi-Hop Networks Potential Market: • Over 400 million cell phone units sold WW (2002), 140 million users (US) • Base station deployment in Europe is expected to triple in the next 5 years, reaching 500,000 by 2005 Sources: Dataquest, Stategis Group

  7. Efficient Multi-Hop Networks • Stage of Development:Algorithm built and demonstrable in simulator, ready to be applied to working prototype • IP Status: Patent Pending • Market Status:Worldwide rights available

  8. Efficient Multi-Hop Networks • Developmental Plan: Implement in laptop or handset environment (<50,000 lines of code). Produce robust code as upgrade to commercial product • Business Strategy:fund lean business as service provider of specialty software. Possibly joint venture with base station software company. Roll out more software products and perhaps hardware accessories. Possibly acquired by network service provider for performance edge. • Potential PI Roles:One inventor could be an advisor, another could be technical lead
