Research

My main area of research is the quality of service (QoS) in ad hoc networks. This focuses on networks that have no infrastructure. Today’s applications demand higher bandwidths while the users demand better QoS. My research investigates techniques that can provide a satisfactory balance of these requirements. QoS performance in the wireless environment presents many challenges, including bandwidth, delay, jitter, reliability and power issues.

iABC– interactive Adaptive Buffer Control, a proposed systems that extends the work undertaken by Mobiware and utilizes the control of a buffering system. This system ensures network provision for high priority users sharing the available bandwidth while accommodating adequate QoS.
