Worked as Research Assistant in Wireless Networking and Simulation Laboratory (Advisor: Dr. Samir R. Das)Department of ECECS, University of CincinnatiResearch Areas✪ Load Balancing Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc NetworksConventional routing protocols use shortest path as the main criteria to select any route, which can lead to network congestion and create bottlenecks. Designed an efficient Adaptive Load Balanced Routing protocol, which selects route with least congestion and dynamically adapts to changing load to keep the routes congestion free.✪ Efficient Queueing Policies for Mobile Ad Hoc NetworksLow bandwidth of wireless links makes queueing paradigms critical for the performance of the network routing protocol. Investigated various packet drop policy and priority scheduling policy targeted to improve aggregate performance measures for best-effort traffic and demonstrated the improvements in packet delivery, delay and routing load by detailed simulations. ✪ Channel State Dependent Scheduling in Ad Hoc NetworksWireless links are often subject to burst errors leading to consecutive packet losses, which could be buffered and transmitted later, giving priority to packets on stronger links. This improves overall bandwidth utilization. Developed and implemented a channel state dependent scheduling protocol based on the above idea in an Ad Hoc Network.
