DESCRIPTION:Wireless TDMA mesh networks are multi-hop wireless networks wh
 ich give various nodes access to the wireless medium based on a time-divis
 ion schedule. Such networks have the potential to provide QoS for triple-p
 lay over a large coverage area. It is hard to give equivalent QoS with  Wi
 -Fi based networks which are  fraught with various hidden terminal problem
 s.\n\nAt IIT Delhi\, we have built a rapidly deployable wireless TDMA netw
 ork with similarities to the WiMAX-relay standard. Our network will be use
 ful in disaster management and military battelefield scenarios which canno
 t depend on any prior existing network for communication. We have chosen a
  software-defined radio\, called wireless open access research platform (W
 ARP)\, to build our backbone mesh network.\n\nIn my talk\, I will explain 
 our network design\, provide experimental results\, and describe applicati
 ons we are building for disaster management. I will also highlight our exp
 eriments with commercial wireless TDMA mesh equipment which we leverage as
  a second-tier in our own mesh network.\n\nBio: Vinay Ribeiro is currently
  an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineer
 ing at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. He received his B.Tech. f
 rom I.I.T. Madras and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Rice University all 
 in Electrical and Computer Engineering. He received the best student paper
  award at the Internet Passive and Active Workshop 2003. He has performed 
 research internships at AT&T Labs\, Sprint ATL \, and Institut Mittag-Leff
 ler and was a visiting research associate at Bell Labs India.\nHis researc
 h interests are in wireless networks (WiFi\, WiMAX\, ad hoc\, sensor)\, in
 door positioning and navigation\, network traffic modeling\, network tomog
 raphy and queuing theory.\n\n
