Thesis and Projects

Master's Thesis -"Enabling Smart Grid Communications via MPLS" - Gap

analysis of Smart Grid communications was performed. Hence forth MPLS

technology was suggested for monitoring and controlling the (USA) power

grid in real time. MPLS was opted due protocol encapsulation (ATM, Frame

relay, Ethernet), support of layer2 & layer3 VPN security. Key finding -

with the existing MPLS technology future power blackouts or brownouts can

be minimized, consequently avoiding August 14, 2003 like situation. NS2

simulator was used for comparing different network recovery models.

Smart Grid knowledge - NASPInet, NERC CIP, DoE framework, SCADA

Projects

. "Comparative study of various bulk-transfer TCP protocols" - TCP Reno,

BIC, CUBIC, Compound, HighSpeed protocols, were compared through ns2

simulator.

. "Study of TCP - REFWA" - analyzing TCP for long distance satellite

communication.

. `"Modulation techniques of LTE (Long Term Evolution)" - Review of

downlink - OFDMA, uplink - SC-FDMA schemes in LTE.

Other relevant projects and awards

. Best Employee Award, 3rd Quarter Rio Networks (2010)

. "iBOT - intelligent ROBOT" - A robot based on Digital Image

Processing that detects color of a ball and moves in the direction of

the ball, through embedded program in its micro controller (Final year

undergraduate project 2007)

. First Prize, Robotics fabrication contest, IIT - Mumbai (2006)

. Third Prize, on the spot model making competition at National

Institute of Technology - Raipur (2005).
