1. Seamless transition from one access point to another one for constant bitrate applications on a wireless network Constant bitrate applications (e.g. video, telephony) have crisp requirements for technologies. Depending on system configurations or topologies, various impacts will be seen on the quality of service of these applications. Solutions using voice over IP (VoIP) actually become more and more popular. Advent of wireless connectivity based on IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) or IEEE 802.16 (WiMax) standards makes user mobility a reality. Thus the is a growing interest for wireless VoIP applications (VoWLAN). This project seeks to develop the appropriate technology that will allow a mobile user to transit from one access point to another one without impairment for on-going constant bitrate applications. In general, the constant bitrate application can be a video or a VoIP application. For this particular projet, the application will be a VoIP application. The wireless network will be as close as possible to a standard secure IEEE 802.11 network. Speed of the mobile user will correspond to a typical human mobility speed (i.e. 0 to 2 m/s).
2. Courses Using OPNET GRT 810 "Architecture de réseaux" (Network architecture) is a course for final semester undergraduate students in computer engineering specializing in networking. Based on usual network architectures, topics are network planning, optimization and network analysis using a commercial network simulation software. OPNET is the software that students must use for their work. GRT 830 "Gestion de réseaux" (Network management) is another course for final semester undergraduate students in computer engineering specializing in networking. It is a follow-on of GRT810, where emphasis is put on network management aspects. Again, students have to work on examples using a commercial network simulation software, which is OPNET. |
