Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) will be a necessary part of next generation wireless systems. Indeed, to cope with, for example, emergency situation or environmental surveying, next generation wireless networks should allow communication between mobile users, even in the absence of infrastructure. Owing to node mobility and device heterogeneity, connectivity between nodes is intermittent, which leads to volatile networks.

The purpose of the PhD thesis is to find the delay/energy tradeoff function and what the routing policy should be when nodes are oblivious of their own and other nodes' motion, for nodes with heterogeneous physical layer and clustered mobility, with the help of network coding. We will consider the i.i.d. model, the RWP model and eventually the clustered (heterogeneous) model. These mobility models are sorted according to their refinement level, and will be milestones for the PhD student's work.

Pre-requisites:

Good signal processing, wireless telecommunications and network background.
