Wing: Wireless Networking Group -- General Info

UCLA WING group conducts research in wireless and mobile networking in the context of "all wireless" multihop wireless networks (e.g., wireless sensor networks, mobile ad-hoc networks, and mesh networks), and cellular networks. Our focus is on design, implementation and experimentation of protocols, algorithms and systems for wireless data networks. Our vision is to build high-performance and dependable networking solutions for the wireless Internet.

Our research has been conducted along two main directions: high-performance networking, and resilient networking. A list of completed and ongoing projects is as follows:

High-Performance Wireless Networking:

Architecture:
- UCAN: Unified cellular and ad-hoc networks
Systems and Measurement:
- RRAA: Robust Rate Adaptation Algorithm
- DIRAC: Wireless Router System
- WFM: Flow modeling and analysis in large WLANs
- CFW: Privacy-preserving cross-domain firewall
- SMMS: Scalable Multimedia Messenging System
Protocols and Algorithms:
- SCOPE: Distributed Wireless Packet Scheduling
- MWTCP: TCP over Multihop Wireless Networks
- TTDD: Two-Tier Data Dissemination in Sensor Networks
- ROMER: Resilient Opportunisic Mesh Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks

Resilient Wireless Networking:

Intrusion-Tolerant Design (Network Security):
- URSA: Ubiquitous Security for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
- SEF: Statistical En-Route Filtering in Sensor Networks
- LBS: Location-Based Security Solution for Sensor Networks
- HOURS: Randomized Hierarchical Overlay
Robust Networking Solutions (Robustness):
- GTRS: Game-Theoretic Robust Scheduling
- GRAB: Robust Data Forwarding in Sensor Networks
- DMRT: Robust Data and Multimedia Transport in MANET
- RDNS: Resilient DNS
Smartphone Security:
- SmartSiren: Virus Detection and Alert for Smartphone
