Current Work on Wireless networks
The wireless channel seems to be a scarce common resource which poses challenging problems not encountered in wireline networks. Both probabilistic models, information theory tools as well as control and game theory can be quite useful in the physical and in the link layers of wireless networks. The characteristics of wireless links have also an impact on higher network layers and transport protocols which we study.
