These assistantships provide full tuition and working oportunities paying up
to $2400 per month in the summer and $1200 per month during the academic
year. Tuition support is dependent upon research performance.
The research focus is hybrid communication networks design and modeling.
This research will be conducted in conjunction with the University of
Maryland, MIT, Motorola, GTE, Bellcore and others. The program is called
ATIRP.
Hybrid communication networks consist of seamlessly interoperable
satellite, terrestrial wireline and terrestrial wireless networks. They
are ubiquitous in military networks and most recently they represent an
economically feasible means to establish a global information
infrastructure. There is critical need to develop modeling, performance
evaluation and design methodologies and tools for such heterogeneous
internetworks.
