I'm a Principal Scientist in the Network Technologies Business Unit
of BBN Technologies. This group of
about 100 people works on the design, implementation and fielding of
of ad hoc wireless networks (aka packet radio).
Current Projects
Policy-based Infromation centric Reliable Ad hoc Network (PIRANA),
part of the Wireless Network After Next Program,
sponsored by
DARPA-STO, Principal Investigator.
DARPA WAND (known internally as PIRANA) is developing scalable,
adaptive, ad hoc networks which exploit very inexpensive, yet
flexible software radios. Innovative aspects of the program
include the incorporation of DTN technology for disconnected
operation, dynamic spectrum access for finding and exploiting
any available frequencies rather than using pre-allocated
frequencies, exploitation of multichannel MIMO, and the use of
policy and reasoning techniques to make the right tradeoffs and
adaptations for the particular mission. This program will
require new ideas and innovations to combine previously isolated
technologies in new and synergistic ways. We are working
towards a 40 radio demonstration in Dec 2008, a 100 radio
demonstration in Dec 2009, and a 1000 radio demonstration in Dec
2010.
Joint Architecture Vision for Low Energy Networking (JAVeLEN),
part of the Connectionless Networking Program,
sponsored by
DARPA-STO, Principal Investigator.
The goal of this program is to reduce the energy-per-bit used for
delivering information in a wireless ad hoc network by 100
times, while still delivering the delay and
throughput capabilities of traditional wireless multihop networks. The
BBN Technologies team proposed and designed a set of interoperating
networking and radio components which provide a fresh
rethinking of network protocols and their interactions from the
transport layers down to the radio modem. Particular
innovations from our work include: dynamic slot synchronization
that maintains tight slotting without external signals such as
GPS, innovative use of correlators within the modems to provide
signals without dedicated sync and acquisition bits;
pseudo-random transmit and receive sequences for compact
and flexible expression of radio cycles; and caching and
cross-layer acknowledgement techniques to reduce the energy cost to
maintain end to end delivery. In Phase 1 of the program we
provided simulation and theoretical results across a variety of
situations to show that our low-energy design scaled across network
size, traffic, and density. In Phase 2 of the program we took one year to build working
prototypes of our designs and demonstrate them in a 20 node
network. These prototypes included custom military radio
transcievers, a software radio modem, and network and transport
protocols built from scratch. Our demonstration showed 100X
reduction in energy while maintaining 1Mbps network wide
throughput. We are now in phase 3 where we are finalizing the
adaptation methods of the protocols and manufacturing final
objective boards into a fieldable productized package.
