Data center networks (DCNs) are essential infrastructures to embrace the era of the highly diversified massive amount of data generated by emerging technological applications. In order to store and process such a data deluge, today’s DCNs have to deploy enormous length of wires to interconnect a plethora of servers and switches. Unfortunately, wired DCNs exposes several drawbacks such as cabling cost and complexity, low space utilization due to the cable bundles, and insufficiency to overcome chronic oversubscription and hotspot problems.

Optical wireless communications (OWC) has gained lots of interest to mitigate the spectrum scarcity and the ever-exploding demand on wireless data traffic. OWC offers alternative transmission options through infrared, visible light, and ultraviolet bands.

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging paradigm in computer networking that allows a logically centralized software program to control the behavior of the entire network.

This project aims at developing scientific and technological advances required for the deployment of real-time applications as part of the IoT paradigm.

The expansion of wireless usage in different applications has resulted in a tremendous increase in energy consumption and this left a significant environmental effect.

In this project, we aim at understanding and addressing buffering and packet scheduling requirements when data from multiple VLC links needs to be aggregated across an acoustic network.

In this project we worked on a novel implementation of the GPUFreq Scaling Governors, a Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) model implemented in the Android Linux kernel for dynamically scaling smartphone Graphical Processing Units (GPUs).

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are a type of ad hoc wireless network that uses multi-hop wireless communications to provide or improve connectivity between wireless devices.

In this project, we tackled the dense deployment and energy efficient operation of sensor systems in underwater and terrestrial environments.

In this project, we considered the optimization of transmission power and delay in a wireless mesh networks.

In this project, we propose a novel sleep time sizing and scheduling framework for the implementation of green bandwidth allocation (GBA) in TDMA-Passive Optical Networks.

The objective of this project is to develop a framework for facilitating green spectrum for cognitive radio protocols in wireless networks.

The work on multimedia over wireless mesh networks has inspired us to explore other wireless transmission standards.

Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are characterized as sparsely connected, highly partitioned, and intermittently connected networks. In such networks, the end-to-end path between a given pair may never exist.

This project committed to address the key problems for supporting multimedia over wireless mesh networks.
