Advanced Networks
Advanced networks is concerned with all related research into telecommunications and computer networks. The group has a strong history of collaborative research with industry and has very close links with a number of major international companies. This group is led by Professor Alan Marshall.
Current projects include:
- Novel network architectures for Quality of Service (QoS)
- Molecular communications and nanonetworks
- Trust management for Machine-to-Machine communications related to the Internet of Things
- Programmable networks
- Network management and network processing
- Adaptive packet scheduling
- Denial-of-service attack behaviour recognition in wireless networks
- Programmable routing protocols for ad-hoc and sensor networks.
The group's laboratory serves as the main focus for research into all aspects of computer and telecommunications networks related research. The laboratory contains state-of-the-art facilities to allow research into fixed and wireless networks, network management systems; and distributed video/audio and video conferencing systems. This allows research into heterogeneous networks, and future fast packet switching technologies.
