Abstract: The desired for more intelligence in the battlefield has given rise to the idea of routing video images over wireless sensor networks. This would apprise the combat decision makers with actual images of battlefield development and allows them to make sound decision. To achieve this objective, the characteristics of video traffic must be studied and understood. Also, the behavior of the network must be analyzed. Different architecture has different behavior. The focus is to find the limitation of each and exploit them to provide the best coverage, throughput and delay.
 

Brief Biography of the Speaker:
Dr. Weilian Su received his B.S. degree in Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering (ECSE) from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1997 with Summa Cum Laude and ECSE department's Lockheed Martin Capstone Design Award. He also received his M.S.E.C.E and Ph.D degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2001 and 2004.

Dr. Su specializes in sensor and ATM networks under the guidance of Dr. Ian F. Akyildiz in Broadband and Wireless Networking Laboratory at Georgia Institute of Technology. In 2003, he received the "2003 Best Tutorial Paper Award" from IEEE Communications Society.

Currently, Dr. Su is an Assistant Professor at Naval Postgraduate School. His current research interests are sensor networks, ad hoc networks, quality of service in Internet, distributed networks, and satellite networks.
