Research Interests and Projects

My research vision is the creation of a virtual wireless access network consisting of wireless LANs from different administrative domains, which cooperate in order to utilize radio resources most efficiently. To this end, my work currently focuses on

• decentralized mechanisms for coordination of wireless LANs and
• seamless inter-domain mobility.

I am particularly interested in performance aspects, but also in security aspects in this context.

Furthermore, I am the main developer of the DISCO Network Calculator, a Java-based network calculus library, and have worked on various extensions to the MadWiFi Linux kernel device driver for Wireless LAN cards based on Atheros chipsets.
