Title: Next Generation Wireless Multi-hop Networks.
Abstract: Wireless technology is rapidly advancing in a context of more powerful radios and demand for higher throughput and coverage.
The aim of this research project is to develop next-generation wireless MAC protocols for future mesh  networks that makes an effective use of the available spectrum resources by combining decentralized collision-free transmission schedules, advanced multiple antenna techniques and dynamic channel access mechanisms.

Title: Cooperative Sensor networks
Abstract: The number of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) deployed especially in urban areas is growing. However, these networks are typically independent from each other and may cover the same or close areas. Our efforts in this field are focused on the collaboration of these independent networks, providing mechanisms to exchange information between them and to generate a more unified architecture for sensor network operation.

Title: P2P video streaming in mobile networks
Abstract: P2P has been proven to be an efficient architecture to provide download functionality to end users. More and more, it is also tested as an architecture for live or on-demand video streaming. With current technology advances in mobile devices, video streaming has become a popular application for them as well. Therefore, we are interested to research the effect of mobile peers on a video streaming overlay, considering their connection characteristics and their interaction with fixed-line peers. Moreover, we want to investigate the mechanisms necessary to support multi-homing peers.
