Suburban Ad Hoc Networks Research Group

Suburban Ad Hoc Networks Group



Introduction

The Suburban Ad Hoc (Area) Networking group focusses its research activities on techniques for implementing Suburban Ad Hoc Networks. These are self organising, quasi-static ad hoc (typically wireless) networks which provide an alternative technology for providing high speed digital connectivity to households, small businesses and distributed campuses. Specific areas of research interest include security, low level routing protocols, access controls and propagation behaviour.
