Research interests

The research interests include low-power wireless computing, edge computing for IoT and mobile/wearable computing. In low-power wireless computing,

Low-power wireless

Low-power wireless computing is an important enabling technology for Internet-of-Things (IoT). In low-power wireless, our research work mainly focuses on ZigBee-based ad hoc networks and LoRa-based long-range low-power wireless networks. Specific topics include network deployment, performance modeling, routing protocols, network coding, resource allocation, etc.

Edge computing for IoT

As IoT systems are more pervasively deployed, massive computation and communication demands emerge from the numerous IoT devices. Edge computing is key to addressing the demands, providing additional computation and communication resources in the proximity of front end users. We focus on SDN/NFV enabled edge computing. Specific topics include resource allocation, network function virtualization (NFV), service chaining, service placement, deployment, etc.

Mobile/wearables computing

With the aid of edge computing and low-power embedded computing, it becomes possible to transplant complex machine learning algorithms to the mobile and wearable devices. As a result, mobile/wearable computing becomes a hot and promising topic. In mobile/wearable computing, our research work mainly focuses on data-driven applications on human-machine interaction, cyber-physical interfaces, etc.
