Our current research deals with several issues in wireless and mobile computing.
Wireless hosts can form ad hoc networks without using any fixed backbone.
In an ad hoc network, packets may have to traverse multiple wireless hops before reaching the destination. Ad hoc network topology can change often when mobile hosts move. A tutorial by Nitin Vaidya provide an overview of the issues in this area. TCP makes the implicit assumption that most packet losses are due to congestion. Our objective is to develop approaches to achieve high throughput in such environments.
