Harvard Sensor Networks Lab

The HSNL has been awarded a Jim Gray Seed Grant from Microsoft Research for a project called "Rethinking Wireless Networks From the Air Up". This project will explore a new architecture for wireless networks beyond existing standards and protocols, for example, in the UHF white spaces. We will build a software-defined radio testbed at Harvard that will provide full programmability and extensive instrumentation. By permitting reconfiguration at every layer of the protocol stack, we will develop a highly dynamic network architecture that allows for customized policies for managing variable traffic demands.

This project will be headed by HSNL graduate student Rohan Murty and Prof. Matt Welsh. We will collaborate closely with the networking research group at Microsoft Research.
