Quantifying and Assuring Information Transfer in Dynamic Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
Abstract
Based on analogues from physical systems and science, we have investigated, developed, and evaluated prediction and control strategies for assured operation in high data rate, mobile wireless networks. The dynamic wireless networks, and their optimization, were analyzed by methods used in molecular dynamics. A significant outcome of this research is an application for a patent as follows: "Systems, Methods, Devices, and Computer Program Products for Control and Performance Prediction in Wireless Networks." We considered wired as well as wireless networks, and we addressed the fundamental problems of how information should be fused over a network. In addition, we studied the performance and tradeoffs of integration of cooperative communication with network coding for assurance of information transfer.
