Cognitive Networks

This research area has a central theme for networks — cognition. Cognition refers to the ability to process information, apply knowledge, and change preferences, according to the state of the network. Our research aims to develop algorithms, techniques, protocols and systems with the ability to adapt to the changing network conditions, by sensing/observing the network conditions, and applying knowledge that have been made available or acquired previously, to address the dynamically changing network environment.

Specific areas of research and expertise include cognitive radio, wireless multihop (ad-hoc and sensor) networks, network measurement, MIMO systems, wireless channel modelling, and application of theoretical methods to network design and analysis.

Several graduate research projects are currently available.
