What I Love Most About Research at Tech
Research experiences at Georgia Tech are not restricted by your major. I have had the opportunity to work at the Neuro-Engineering Lab doing behavioral modeling, as well as the chance to work on projects are more closely related to Electrical Engineering (DSP, Wireless Sensor Networks). Encouragement to explore taught me appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of research, and now I look at all new technology from a general engineers perspective instead of only looking at the EE of it.
Description of Student's Research
Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) have been enabled by the availability of inexpensive miniaturized audio and video information collection modules that can be placed on sensors. WMSNs will be able to store, process in real time and fuse multimedia content from heterogeneous sources. The two key research challenges are low power consumption (for extended operation) and high data rates for handling multi-media content.
Ultra Wideband (UWB) radio technology with its vast bandwidth (in the order of GHz) has the potential to enable low power consumption and high data rate communications in the range of tens of meters. This makes it ideal for WMSNs.
Objective: There are two common variants of UWB (Time Hopping and Multi Carrier) radio technology that are candidates for the UWB wireless standard being framed by the IEEE. The goal of this research project is to perform a comparative evaluation, through mathematical analysis and simulation, of the relative advantages of the two competing technologies as an enabler for WMSN. Currently, no such comparison is available in the literature on WMSNs.
