SUMMARY
The Wireless Network Models and Algorithms group at IIT focuses its research activities on modeling, analysis, and design of algorithms for wireless multi hop networks.
The group sees its main research challenge as bridging the gap between investigations of foundational nature (through, e.g., theoretical investigations of fundamental wireless network properties, design of algorithms with proven performance bounds, etc.) and their application to practical wireless network design.
The group is currently conducting two research projects:
- VehiCong: studying congestion in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANets)
- ARS Technomedia: analysing problems and design algorithms for techno-mediated social networks, such as online social networks, mobile social networks etc

SOLUTIONS
- Designing techniques to control congestion in a vehicular communication environment specific to the IEEE 802.11p communication protocol; and
- Producing a vehicular, ad-hoc network (VANet) with the use of IEEE 802.11p equipped radio.
- Working on the analysis of opportunistic social networks, where messages are exchanged by means of short-range wireless links (e.g., WiFi and Bluetooth)
- Investigating issues such as the speed of information diffusion in opportunistic social networks and the provision of innovative social networking solutions without compromising user privacy and security.
