Novel Approaches to Service Virtualization in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Navy STTR FY2010.A Sol No.: Navy STTR FY2010.A Topic No.: N10A-T006 Topic Title: Novel Approaches to Service Virtualization in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Proposal No.: N10A-006-0739 Firm: SUNS-Tech Corp. 82 Lakewood Circle San Mateo, California 94402 Contact: Patricia Luna Phone: (650) 867-0161 Abstract: A clean-slate approach is needed for the design and implementation of wireless networks that self organize and can scale with the number of users, devices, and information objects and services that network users wish to share. This project will develop a new architecture and protocols for wireless networks in which naming, addressing, routing, and channel access are redefined to take into account: (a) the multihop nature of channel access over wireless links, (b) the inherent interoperation between transmission scheduling and routing, (c) the dynamic nature of wireless networks, and (d) the need to transport multimedia traffic over such networks. Benefits: This project can transform the way routing and channel access protocols and mechanisms are approached for mobile wireless networks in the future, enable the development of autonomic wireless networks that are scale-free, and expedite the deployment and evolution of multihop wireless ad hoc networks in the DoD.
