This thesis will be carried out in the context of the P2020 project MobiWise - from mobile sensing to mobility advising.
Objetivo
Large-Scale Highly-Dense Networks will emerge within the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G networks. This highly dense heterogeneous networking scenario can cause a rapid exhaustion on node’s resources and reduce the device and network lifetime due to the huge amounts of data generated and that needs to be transferred across the network. It also poses serious challenges in terms of scalability and reliability. There is thus the need to target efficient communications in dense networks to improve network and node survivability. This can be achieved through smart applications which interact with networking components. The master's thesis work will consist in developing and evaluating algorithms for energy efficient applications, while satisfying reliability, scalability and low latency requirements.
