News:
E-CROPS second meeting
in Budapest, June 2013.
We are presenting an invited paper at the BlackSeaComm 2013 Conference in Batumi, Georgia, on July 5.
ISIT 2013: IEEE
International Symposium on Information Theory, July 7-12, 2013 — Istanbul, Turkey
Our project E-CROPS has won a European Chist-ERA grant from the “Green ICT- toward zero-power ICT” program (by ranking 1 among all 18 proposed collaborative projects).
Advice to new graduate students on
which courses to take.
Communication, Networking, Wireless Networks, Network Information Theory, Wireless Communication.
Wireless Networking research objectives: Developing novel algorithms and techniques for efficient communication over multi-hop wireless networks. We are specifically interested in energy-efficient communication and networking.
General research perspective :
Classical communication theory does not address random arrivals of
finite-length data. Moreover, when multiple independent data streams (belonging
to multiple uses, for example) need to be served on a shared medium, such as
the multiple-antenna downlink, one obtains a multiprocessor queueing system of
a new kind. We try to combine tools from communication, networking, and
information theories toward novel problem formulations and theoretical advances
to optimize multiuser communication with random data arrival processes.
Current projects :
1. Principles and Experimental Implementation toward
Energy-Efficient Design of Wireless Networks, TUBITAK grant, 2011-2014.
2. E-CROPS--- Energy Harvesting Communication Networks: Optimization and Demonstration, ERA-NET 2012-2015
3. Novel
Transmission Techniques for Energy Harvesting Communication Systems, Funded
by Turk Telekom, 2012-2013
(see our group webpage to get more information on the
projects)
Completed projects :
1. MIMO Networking: From Principles to Protocols. (Funded by NSF,
under the Computing and Communications Foundations Program, 2006-2010.) A motivating
outcome was getting low-complexity scheduling algorithms as the number of users
of the MIMO link grows large. This technique relies on the existence of
near-multually orthogonal sets, or “NEMO”, described in this paper.
2. Minimum Energy High Performance
Wireless Communication Network Design: Inter-layer Optimization and Algorithms.
(Funded by a TUBITAK "Kariyer" Award, 2007-2010.)
For further information, please visit the research group homepage and the related publications.
One of the outcomes was a wireless sensor network testbed (here are some pictures) with MICAz motes equipped with magnetic sensors.
3. Narrowband Wireless Ad-hoc Network Design. (Funded by ASELSAN 2009-2010)
Design of a novel highly reliable and scalable wireless ad-hoc network protocol suite.
4. Energy Efficient Wireless Mobile
Networking Technologies to Enable Smart Infrastructures, IBM Faculty Award, 2010.
