Research projects

Topology Explorer for WLAN

This research focuses to develop a protocol that detects the communication topology of the network consisting of nodes connected via IEEE 802.11. The proposed protocol terminates with consistent topology information among nodes. The termination of the distributed protocol is initiated by the predetermined master node by comparing the hash values of the topology matrix at each node. As a part of guided research, the protocol was implemented and tested.

WiPS

WiPS (WiFi integrated Protocol Stack) is an extensible libpcap-based framework, written in modern C++ with template metaprogramming, that defines interfaces and a code structure for implementing and integrating higher-layer protocols. Each application selects the subset of protocols it needs, and WiPS builds a tailored protocol stack from them. WiPS is integrated into the ns-3 network simulator for large-scale protocol evaluation.

Time synchronisation in OpenSky network

This research evaluates the synchronization error in the Open-Sky network. For evaluation, location messages broadcasted by the aircraft received by at least two receivers (of the networks) are used. The calculated measurements are compared to the ground truth value to check the correctness of the system. I.e., the difference in the timestamps between two receivers should be equal to the difference in the message propagation delay between the two receivers to the aircraft.
