Thermodynamics of Large-Scale Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
Abstract
In recent years, large wireless networks have become the architecture of choice in many emerging scenarios, such as mesh networks for providing infrastructure in metro areas, communication infrastructure under extreme conditions in military applications, cost-effective sensor networks for monitoring and surveillance, peer-to-peer networks between handheld devices in a social setup, among others. A fundamental issue is to determine the best performance that can be achieved in such networks. This is the theme of the project. In particular, we have investigated in depth: capacity, synchronization, in-network computation, distributed medium access and the role of feedback. Towards the latter part of this project, we have applied the lessons we learnt about wireless networks to other types of networks such as power networks.
