Title: Emerging Wireless Technologies and the Future Internet.
Wednesday, April 30, 2008, 12:30 PM


Abstract:

Wireless and mobile devices are proliferating at a remarkable rate, and will inevitably have a significant transformative effect on the architecture of the global Internet.  In this talk, we consider several emerging wireless scenarios (ad hoc/mesh, sensor, vehicular, cognitive radio) and identify related new protocol and network service requirements.  Some examples of “clean-slate” wireless networking protocols from ongoing projects at WINLAB are given for illustration.  The talk concludes with a brief discussion on open/programmable wireless networking platforms and testbeds which are critical for enabling forward looking experimental research in this field.

Biography

Dipankar Raychaudhuri is Professor-II, Electrical & Computer Engineering and Director, WINLAB (Wireless Information Network Lab) at Rutgers University. As WINLAB's Director, he is responsible for a cooperative industry-university research center with focus on next-generation wireless technologies. WINLAB's current research scope includes topics such as RF/sensor devices, cognitive radio, ad-hoc mesh networks, wireless security, future Internet architecture, and pervasive computing. He is principal investigator of the NSF funded "ORBIT" open-access next-generation wireless network testbed at Rutgers, and was co-chair of the NSF GENI Wireless Working Group working on wireless aspects of a global experimental infrastructure for the future Internet.

He has previously held progressively responsible corporate R&D positions in the telecom/networking industry including: Chief Scientist, Iospan Wireless (2000-01), Assistant General Manager & Dept Head-Systems Architecture, NEC USA C&C Research Laboratories (1993-99) and Head, Broadband Communications Research, Sarnoff Corp (1990-92).  Dr. Raychaudhuri obtained his B.Tech (Hons) from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in 1976 and the M.S. and Ph.D degrees from SUNY, Stony Brook in 1978, 79. He is a Fellow of the IEEE.
