Intra Vehicular Wireless Sensor Networks
We are the first lab in Europe to work on intra-vehicular wireless sensor networks (Marie Curie Reintegration Grant). We are modeling intra-vehicular channel model based on measurements in the commercial vehicles and developing optimal rate-adaptive medium access control protocols satisfying strict reliability, delay and energy efficiency requirements of vehicle control systems.
