This project, creating a wireless research test-bed and integrating the existing wired distributed computing facilities and multimedia lab, enables research to be tried out in a wireless environment. Current research projects are in areas of adaptive power aware hierarchical routing schemes, fault-tolerant authentication, dynamic resource allocation, and design and evaluation of push-pull delivery of video data in mobile/wireless networks, and robust mobile agents. The facility, including a number of mobile nodes (some mobile robot nodes), will allow exploration and enhancement to the existing research, initially focused on wired and distributed computing, on a wireless platform. Because some of the assumptions made in a wired distributed system, such as negligible loss of information, rate of error, fault tolerance, and available resources, are no longer valid, algorithms that look robust in a fixed network distributed environment, behave totally different on a wireless platform. The project aims at evaluating, studying, and experimenting with prototypes and analytical results on the new platform to understand the parameters that can affect the efficiency and design of those algorithms in terms of power, bandwidth utilization, communication, storage cost, latency, and delays in a wireless medium. Specifically, the infrastructure supports the following projects: Adaptive Routing Protocols, Fault Tolerance and Secure Authentication, Robust Mobile Agents, and Efficient Transfer of Multimedia Data in Mobile Networks.The first project looks into adaptive power efficient routing schemes for the next generation wireless networks, power control and efficient routing for self organizing wireless sensor networks, hierarchical routing algorithms, data dissemination and aggregation. The second features virtual agent modeling, hierarchical authentication of the mobile base stations, and replicated mobile agents. The third looks at operation in the presence of faults; and the last, at design evaluation of push-pull delivery of video data in mobile/wireless networks and dynamic resource allocation to support mobility in wireless multimedia systems.New courses are being proposed and developed in two departments by the PIs, including Mobile and Sensor Data Management, High Speed Networks, MEMS and Wireless Sensor Networks, Wireless Communication Systems, Distributed Systems, Computer Security, and Advanced Computing. The new facilities will also be used for doctoral, masters, and senior undergraduates. The students will complement their projects on wireless and sensor network infrastructure getting hands-on experience. The project also explores homeland security and commercial applications. In a military environment the work explores hierarchical mobile architecture with movable base stations.

该项目创建了无线研究测试床并整合了现有的有线分布式计算设施和多媒体实验室，使研究可以在无线环境中进行尝试。当前的研究项目位于自适应电源层次结构路由方案，耐故障身份验证，动态资源分配以及移动/无线网络中视频数据推送的设计和评估以及强大的移动代理的设计和评估。该设施，包括许多移动节点（某些移动机器人节点），将允许对现有研究的探索和增强，最初集中在无线平台上的有线和分布式计算上。由于有线分布式系统中的某些假设（例如，信息丢失，错误率，容错性和可用资源的丢失，不再有效），因此在固定网络分布式环境中看起来强大的算法在无线平台上表现完全不同。该项目旨在评估，研究和实验新平台上的原型和分析结果，以了解可以在功率，带宽利用，通信，存储成本，延迟和无线介质中影响这些算法的效率和设计的参数。具体而言，基础架构支持以下项目：自适应路由协议，容错和安全的身份验证，鲁棒的移动代理以及在移动网络中多媒体数据的有效传输。第一个项目着眼于适应性电力有效的路由方案，以实现下一代无线网络，电力控制和有效的无小线路路由的路由，以构成无线电话，请访问无线电话。第二个具有虚拟代理建模，移动基站的分层身份验证以及复制的移动代理。第三次在存在故障的情况下进行操作；最后，在设计评估移动/无线网络中视频数据的推动力传递以及动态资源分配中，以支持无线多媒体系统的移动性。新课程是由PI在两个部门通过PIS提出和开发的，包括移动和传感器数据管理，包括移动和传感器数据管理，高速网络，MEM网络，高速网络和无线传感器网络，无线传感器网络，无线电系统，分发系统，计算机，计算机，计算机，计算机，计算机，计算机，高级计算，以及高级计算机，以及高级计算机，以及高级计算，以及高级计算机，以及高级计算机，以及高级计算机，和高级计算。新设施还将用于博士，硕士和高级本科生。学生将在无线和传感器网络基础架构上补充他们的项目。该项目还探讨了国土安全和商业应用。在军事环境中，这项工作探索了具有可移动基站的层次移动架构。
