Cognitive Radio Networks and Wireless Communication
Reliable, adaptive communication systems are critical to operating in complex, dynamic, and contested environments. This research advances cognitive radio networks and wireless communication technologies that enable intelligent spectrum use, resilient connectivity, and real-time data exchange across distributed systems. By integrating adaptive networking, secure communication protocols, and sensor-driven infrastructure, these efforts support robust, mission-ready communication systems capable of maintaining performance under disruption. Applications span transportation systems, disaster response, and secure network operations, where connectivity and reliability are essential to effective decision-making.
Key capabilities include:
- Connected transportation systems and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication
- Wireless sensor networks supporting real-time data collection and system awareness
- Distributed systems and cognition-based network design for adaptive communication
- Resilience modeling for communication systems in disaster and disrupted environments
- Secure communication infrastructure, including advanced metering systems
- Evaluation and optimization of wireless communication protocols such as WiMAX and Wi-Fi
- Integration of cybersecurity principles into wireless network design and operation
