Networking Research and Development Program
The research focus in the Networking area includes: Network
Architectures, Ad Hoc Wireless and Sensor Networks, Network Security, Traffic
Management and Quality of Service, Optical Networks, Performance Evaluation
and Testing Multimedia Networking, Design of Operation Support Systems in
Telecommunication CAD for Communication Systems. Faculty jointly with other
universities have made the following contribution in ITU. The research focus is on developing algorithms and architectures for secure distribution and access in sensor networks, reliable query reporting in sensor networks and its commercial and innovative applications such as Detecting Contaminations, Surveillance and Target Location, and other Agricultural Applications.

| High Speed Networks |
The goal is to research and develop protocols supporting multi-gigabit-rate wireless networks of the future. Starting with the basics, it relies on clear understanding of communication theory and the factors affecting radiowave propagation. Presently though we have enough bandwidth, the speed of the order of gigabit is still far behind us, sharing of the open media with other systems operating on the same bandwidth poses a challenge for the research community to develop protocols that not only can support the connectivity but also should be adaptive enough to make the hop to hop communication productive without congesting the medium. Of course, uncertainty of the media and the complexity of operation of wireless ad-hoc network open up technically productive areas for study and development. |
