Research projects

SIC07

The main objective of this study is to develop distributed time-slot assignment methods , and methods for time synchronization for tactical radio networks to have a fully functional TDMA based MAC, and evaluate their performance by simulations and by implementing on a hardware test-bench.

ICARUS

ICARUS is a EU FP7 project on robot assisted search and rescue (SAR) operations. As one of the partners, the CISS Department contributed to the design and implementation of a wireless communications system to interconnect the unmanned platforms, command and control stations and rescuers. The key objective was to obtain a self-organizing network of mobile devices adapting to the dynamics of the environment.

F09/05

This study mainly focusses on how to retrieve the position of the sensor nodes of a wireless sensor network and with which precision this can be done (assuming the nodes don’t have a GPS module on board). How the topology of the wireless network could be controlled in order to optimise the network for given scenarios is also investigated. The goal of this study is not only to have a theoretical approach of the problem, but also to implement the most promising methods or algorithms on a real sensor network.
