Networked Embedded and Wireless Systems (NeEWS) Laboratory                        

Research in NeEWS laboratory spans across a wide range of embedded wireless networking and system design issues including resource-controlled wireless network protocols, embedded operating systems, network middleware, and application specific hardware and software subsystem design. Current research projects in the NeEWS laboratory includes:  

•  Reconfigurable Network Protocols for Vehicular Communication

•  Network-assisted and Controlled Node Mobility for Network Performance Optimization

•  Resource Management in Cognitive Networks with Dynamic Spectrum Opportunities

•  Vehicular Routing and Congestion Control using DSRC based Wireless Networks

•  Energy-efficient Wireless and Sensor Network Protocols

•  Middleware Design for Sensor Networks with QoS and Resource Constraints

•  Wireless Body Area Networks for Health Monitoring Applications

•  Networked Control of Collaborative Unmanned Systems

Sponsors: Research in the NeEWS Laboratory is funded by National Science Foundation (NSF), Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Michigan Department of Transportation (M-DOT), Sustainable Michigan Endowed Project (SMEP), and Michigan State University (MSU).

Prospective Graduate Students: Applicants with background and interest in wireless networks are encouraged to contact Prof. Subir Biswas at sbiswas@egr.msu.edu. Preference will be given to Ph.D. applicants with MS degree, and to candidates with prior experience in protocol design/modeling, simulation (using QualNet/ns2) and their implementation using embedded kernels such as Linux, BrickOS and TinyOS.
