Accurate Node Localisation in Pulsed Infrared Light Based Ad Hoc Networks

Dr. Ahmet Sekercioglu

Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, Monash University

Date and time: 11.30am - 12.30pm, Friday 21st August, 2009

Venue: 10.08.03 (Building 10, Level 8, Room 3)

Abstract:

Pulsed infrated light has great potential in indoor and underwater networking applications. In this talk, I will present the results of our experimental work in node localization in ad hoc networks that use pulsed infrared light as their communication medium. I will also discuss the future applications of such networks and how localization plays a significant role on improving data security and node-to-node data transmission capacity.

About the speaker:

Ahmet Sekercioglu is a researcher at the Centre for Telecommunications and Information Engineering (CTIE) and a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering of Monash University. He was the leader of the Applications Program of Australian Telecommunications CRC until the end of the centre’s research activities (December 2007). He has completed his Ph.D. degree at Swinburne University of Technology, and B.Sc., M.Sc. (all in Electrical and Electronics Engineering) degrees at Middle East Technical University. He has lectured at Swinburne University of Technology for 8 years, and has had numerous positions as a research engineer in private industry. His more recent work focuses on distributed algorithms for self-organization in wireless networks. He is also interested in application of intelligent control techniques for multi-service networks as complex, distributed systems.
