Abstract :
1. 오전:
Wireless LANs: Spatial reuse and hidden nodes, the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), saturation modeling, some renewal theory, development of the fixed point equation and its solution, throughput analysis and discussion, vector fixed point equation, examples of multiple fixed points and short term unfairness, uniqueness theorems, modeling EDCF, service differentiation, modeling TCP performance, some results on voice and video over WLANs
2. 오후:
Wireless Sensor Networks: the concept, technical issues and applications, problems that need to be solved, self organization, a change detection problem on sensor networks (the classical work will be discussed here, and the new issues that arise over networks), modeling and analysis of Zigbee star networks.
Bio :
Anurag Kumar obtained his B.Tech. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur, and the PhD degree from Cornell University, both in Electrical Engineering. He was then with Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, N.J., for over 6 years. Since 1988 he has been with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, in the Dept. of Electrical Communication Engineering, where he is now a Professor, and is also the Chairman of the department. From 1988 to 2003 he was the Coordinator at IISc of the Education and Research Network Project (ERNET), India’s first wide-area packet switching network. His area of research is communication networking, specifically, modeling, analysis, control and optimization problems arising in communication networks and distributed systems. Recently his research has focused primarily on wireless networking. He has been elected Fellow of the IEEE, and the Indian National Science Academy (INSA), both from 2006, and has been a Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE) since 1998. He has received the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications Engineers (IETE) CDIL Best Paper Award (1993), and the IETE S.V.C. Aiya Award for Telecom Education (2001). He is an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Networking, and of IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials. He is a coauthor of the advanced text-book “Communication Networking: An Analytical Approach,” by Kumar, Majunath and Kuri, published by Morgan-Kaufman/Elsevier.
