One of the most interesting ideas I have seen related to wireless networks is the concept of contention. In wireless networks we have to deal with contention regions and different routing techniques. In wireless mesh networks we note that the nodes are fixed, but having to deal with mobile networks seems like an extremely difficult task.
In our research we are trying to look at measurements in wireless networks. Even knowing the topology of the network, it seems difficult to be able to discern key ideas in the network using such fundamental principles are round trip times and delays. Contention doesn't seem to work in a specific way for a specific network, so I am looking into running simulations to see what we can discover.
It may have taken a few months, but the work I've been doing in research and the reading I have done for class seem to have helped me vastly improve my research skills and I am excited to apply directly the things I am learning to my research.
