Biography
 


Research Interests
 

MAC and routing protocols, call admission control, service differentiation, resource sharing, quality of service, traffic modeling, as well as simulation and performance evaluation of broadband communications networks with recent emphasis on wireless local-area and sensor networks (WLANs and WSNs).

 

·         MAC and routing protocols. Some proposals have been made to specify MAC and routing protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) that are both QoS-capable and energy-efficient at the same time.

·         Call admission control. A new CAC algorithm has been proposed, which is based on recently published results related to tight delay bounds for GPS-serviced systems whose input traffic is leaky-bucket constrained.

·         Service differentiation and resource sharing. We have analyzed the applicability of different scheduling algorithms in networks with multimedia input traffic so that the dissimilar needs of each type of traffic are fulfilled.

·         Quality of service. QoS provision is nothing but the combination of call admission control mechanisms and service differentiation, both ingredients mentioned above. The former is necessary to avoid having more active connections than those that the system can handle, while the latter is essential to be able to timely give each active connection the resources it needs according to its QoS requirements.

·         Network modeling and simulation. Extensive work has been done related to modeling and simulation of communications networks. We have analyzed the operation of known systems and the performance of the novel algorithms that arise as proposals from our research activities. Recent emphasis is on WLANs and WSNs, but work has been done to simulate wireline systems as well.

·         Traffic modeling. Research activities in this area have focused on applying statistical methods to analyze time series and on determining the applicability of self-similar (fractal) stochastic processes with infinite-variance marginal distributions to model highly bursty traffic in broadband telecommunications networks.
