Title : Challenges and Solutions in Applying Ad-hoc Networking for Public Safety
Date : November 16, 2007. (11:00 am) Tea starts half an hour before each seminar
Location: ITEB 336
Speaker : Prof. Liang Cheng
Abstract:
Land mobile radio (LMR) has been the mainstay of public safety agencies. Research shows that mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) can augment LMR with robust data communication. In this talk, I will describe our approaches to solving major challenges when applying ad hoc networking for public safety applications, such as disruption-tolerant networking to link disconnection issues, self-nomination routing to path congestion and instability challenges, and pulse-based MAC to broadcast collision problems.
Bio: Liang Cheng received his PhD degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in May 2002. Since August 2002, he has been with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Lehigh University as an Assistant Professor and directed the Laboratory of Networking Group (LONGLAB). His research interests are wireless networks and mobile computing. He has been the principal investigator (PI) and a co-PI of projects funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and other sponsors. He has published more than 60 technical papers and holds 1 patent. He is a receipt of Christian R. & Mary F. Lindback Foundation Minority Junior Faculty Award in 2004.
