MANET Research Problems
n Wireless communication: huge field, but not mine (I.e.: IEEE
802.11/15/16 standards, CDMA, coding and modulation)
n Many open research problems for TCP/IP networks, multiple IETF
working groups exploring part of the problem space
n Dynamic topology: routing (MANET) and management
(ZEROCONF)
n Mobility management (in particular when MANET is connected
through gateway to fixed Internet): Mobile IP, SEAMOBY
n Transport layer: flow control for streaming services: DCCP
n Own research interest: routing (energy efficiency, capacity
maximizing, multicast routing), QoS support, interlayer design
