The methods applied in our research focus on performance analysis of communication systems by
  • modeling,
  • mathematical analysis and
  • stochastic simulation.
  • These methods are applied to

  • Evaluation of existent or proposed communications protocols and their traffic performance comparison to each other
  • Design and optimization of services and protocols for digital communication networks, including
      • formal specification of protocols (Specification and Description Language, SDL)
      • implementation by a tool based translation into executable code to be used in both an existent simulation environment (SPEETCL) and on a target host (the tools are developed partly at the department)
      • rapid prototyping of newly developed services and protocols to be experimented with in field trials
  • CASE tools development for software engineering based on formal specification methods including traffic performance analysis and optimization, spe...[202]...zation, including emulation of the destination hardware platform
  • Network architectures (Intelligent Networks, Universal Personal Telecommunications, etc.)
  • Scenario specific radio propagation (in-/outdoors) prediction based on raytracing
  • Development of radio channel models for indoors and outdoors
  • Use of smart antenna systems in mobile environments
  • Mobility models for road transport and mobile radio applications
  • Agent technology to improve existent services
  • Validation of the performance behavior of protocols by implementation and use in a real environment.
