Wireless Communications and Networking Lab-2

Wireless Communications and Networking Lab-2

The Wireless Communications and Networking Lab-2 focuses on wireless sensors research, including protocol development, solutions for long-term sustainability, energy management, and application development for wide-area monitoring. Students work with experimental wireless sensor networking hardware, including MICAz, XBee-Pro, LORA, Powercast, and others.

Current Projects

Current projects include techniques for overcoming shadowing effects in RSSI-based wireless sensor localization; long-range wide-area sensor networks using LORA; and adaptive protocols for rechargeable and intermittently connected wireless sensor networks.

Past Projects

Adaptability to Variations of Renewable Energy in Large Scale Rechargeable Wireless Sensor Networks (NSF, 2011 – 2016), Critical Infrastructure of the Distribution Grid (CAPER, 2015-2016), Wireless Sensor Networ for Valve Monitoring (Burkert, 2015-2016), Wireless Mesh Sensor Network for Power Systems Monitoring (EPRI, 2006-2012), Wireless Mesh Sensor Network for Fossil Plants Monitoring (EPRI, 2008-2009).
