M3: Multimedia for Mobile nodes in a wireless Mesh network
This is a joint project between Stanford University and KAUST. The project aims to:
- Plan and deploy an operational testbed at KAUST.
- Continue studying physical layer effects on link selection and operational protocols.
- Revisit MAC layer design in the context of a wireless mesh, reconsidering fairness, collision
avoidance, and performance with respect to higher layer protocols.
- Extend static wireless mesh protocols to support seamless user mobility.
- Evaluate our techniques using real and synthetic workloads of data and multimedia.
The ultimate goal is to have researchers at KAUST and at Stanford be able to engage in a seamless videoconference
call even while walking through their buildings and/or campuses.
NI PXIe-8108 WiMax Emulator
This is a joint project between U. of Waterloo and KAUST. This emulator has been driven by the superb capability of the NI PXIe-8108 emulator witnessed in the previous projects with Institute for Information Industry (III), Taiwan. The specific objectives of acquiring the NI PXIe-8108 emulator in three folds:
- Provide a learning environment of true industry practices and standardized modern communication systems for the graduate students and research engineers involved in the research programs;
- Promote the previously proposed technologies and cross-layer designs on WIMAX networks through prototyping, and to gain deep understanding on performance behaviors and operations;
- Facilitate the use of the emulator in the WiMAX related algorithm designs and implementations, and to promote KAUST research quality and expedite research progress for broadband wireless access networks; and
- Commercialize the proposed innovation via prototyping and demonstration to the industry partners.
TCP over Optical Burst Switching Networks (TCPOBS)
The primary objective of the project is to develop a suite of interoperable strategies that can facilitate the user domain TCP window congestion control mechanisms to well cooperate with the intrinsic characteristics/behaviours of the OBS transmission. We expect that the results of performance analysis are considered heuristic for gaining better knowledge and deeper understanding on the TCP performance behaviour over both the conventional Internet and the OBS networks. Network Simulator NS-2 is used, where the library in Optical WDM Network Simulator OWNS has been significantly extended.
User Control LightPath Project (CANARIE)
- Canarie (CRC) and Cisco Canada are hosting a research and development project entitled "User controlled lightPaths". It aims to design solution architecture for customizable optical network resource provisioning for Grid applications. I was,
- Responsible for user access layer and service provisioning layer,
- Interconnect different technologies,
- Design and develop Grid interfaces, applications, and Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI).
