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