| Spectrum Coordination | Develop a sensor network testbed by integrating ZigBee (Telos) motes onto Orbit testbed and extending existing experimental infrastructure. Perform spectrum coordination experiments with Zigbee, Bluetooth and 802.11b in the 2.4 Ghz band. | Software: Linux, C/C++, Java |
| Software Radio | Develop a distributed SDR framework based on USRP and GNU radio software and integrate it with Orbit testbed | Software: Linux, C/C++, Python |
| Robotic/Virtual Mobility | Implementation of various ORBIT related mobility models on both robotic platfrom as well as ORBIT testbed. | Software: Linux, C, XML, Java |
| Orbit Visualization | Visualization software for ORBIT portal. Design network views for users, system administrators and visitors and implement various elements of managememnet and control. | Software: Linux, C, Ruby/Python/Perl/PHP |
| Roadside Parking Monitoring | Real-time Monitoring of Roadside Parking Space Availability. The system should collect data from ultrasound sensors mounted on the vehicles, aggregate data from multiple moving vehicles to improve detection reliability and create real-time map of roadside parking space availability. | Software: Linux, C |
| Cognitive and Cooperative Radios | Distributed spectrum sensing. Implementation of various machine learning algorithms in wireless networking protocols. | Software: Linux, C, Python, Ruby |
| A Cache-and-Forward Architecture | Design of protocol mechanisms for integration of packet forwarding and content caching and proof-of-concept experiment implementations. | Software: Linux, C, Python, Ruby |
