Analytical Framework for Routing Protocols
in MANETs
Overview
Several analytical models have been proposed for routing protocols in MANETs. While the analytical approaches restrict to address their own concerns, no integrated framework exist that incorporates models about useful performance metrics (e.g., average end-to-end delay) and models that abstract characteristics of the network deployment. In this research, I intend to derive an analytical framework that shows an integrated view for performances of routing protocols in MANETs. The analytical framework expresses the performances in relatively high-level parameters which can be easily acquired by stakeholders (e.g., network deployer).

Rapid Deployment of Applications in MANETs
Overview
Many protocols exist for supporting routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Since each protocol implements its own philosophy and algorithm to target a specific purpose, routing protocols in MANETs show very different characteristics. Selecting a particular protocol for an application or deployment environment involves evaluating many complex inter-dependent tradeoffs and can be an overwhelming task for an application designer. However, this decision can have a significant impact on the success of a system in terms of performance, cost, and responsiveness. Emerging distributed applications deployed in MANETs inherently experience highly dynamic situations, which necessitate real-time routing protocol selection in response to varying scenarios.

Real-time System
Overview
A real-time system is a system that performs logical operations with time contraints. In other words, a real-time system should not only produce logically correct outputs but also meet the time constraints. Even if the system works correctly in terms of a logical meaning, the system turns out to be failed when it cannot satisfy the time constraints. In this research, I focus on a network scheduling algorithm in MAC layer for a real-time network service. In addition, I investigate the home network system as its application.
