Communications Group.
Mentors: Pete. St. Pierre and Vipul
Gupta
Analytical formulation, architecture design and
implementation of a novel link quality and sensor-node-health
based routing protocol for the Sun
Small Programmable Object Technology devices (SunSPOTs). This
work has been filed as a patent by Sun Labs entitled "Method and Apparatus for Mesh
Routing Optimized for Stability and System Lifetime Maximization".
Research Intern

Secure Ad Hoc
Communications Group.
Mentor: Vipul Gupta.
Design and
implementation of a state-of-the-art secure and scalable
reprogramming protocol for a network of Sun
Small Programmable Object Technology devices (SunSPOTs). The
protocol can autonomously propagate new code image throughout the
network of SunSPOTs based on local interactions with neighboring
SunSPOTs in a secure, scalable and reliable manner.
