Projects
G-Mesh-Lab
It becomes more and more obvious that current networking standards and technologies will not satisfy the requirements of the Future Internet. To fulfil these demands, research has to focus on the development and investigation of new approaches. Therefor, the G-Lab project (http://www.german-lab.de/) funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) created a German-wide network laboratory, the German Lab testbed, which currently consists of over 170 nodes. The project is related to the world-wide Planet Lab facility but provides a much more defined setting in terms of homogeneous hardware and full controll over the network architecture. Thus, clean slate approaches could be studied in this project as well as extensions and modifications of existing technologies.

SECU
SECU stands for "SecurityFramework for Wireless Multi Hop Networks". The main goal of the project is to develop a security framework which provides means for secure, authenticated, and authorized communication within WMHNs. As proof of concept, the framework will be implemented for the DES-Testbed and called DES-SECU.

Wi-Mesh-Lab
The Wi-Mesh-Lab project is focused on the extension of the DES-Testbed and development of domain specific software for application in wireless networks. The development of industrial-grade products based on scientic research is a central topic. Wi-Mesh-Lab tries to provide solutions for the Internet of the future that will consist of wired and wireless networks.

OPNEX
OPNEX delivers a first principles approach to the design of architectures and protocols for multi-hop wireless networks. Systems and optimization theory is used as the foundation for algorithms that provably achieve full transport capacity of wireless systems. Subsequently a plan for converting the algorithms termed in abstract network models to protocols and architectures in practical wireless systems is given. Finally a validation methodology through experimental protocol evaluation in real network test-beds is proposed.

WiSEBED
The aim of this project is to provide a multi-level infrastracture of interconnected testbeds of large-scale wireless sensor networks for research purposes, pursuing an interdisciplinary approach that integrates the aspects of hardware, software, algorithms, and data. This will demonstrate how heterogeneous small-scale devices and testbeds can be brought together to form well-organized, large-scale structures, rather than just some large network; it will allow research not only at a much larger scale, but also in different quality, due to heterogeneous structure and the ability to deal with dynamic scenarios, both in membership and location.

TCP-Proxy
Wireless networks deviate from wired ones in many properties: the bit-error rate is a magnitude higher, the medium is shared by many entities, and the data rate is lower. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) has been designed with fast, low bit-error rate networks in mind. Many TCP variants with different congestion control algorithms, adapted TCP for networks with a high bandwidth-delay product. These modifications try to keep the virtual channel filled at all times with a maximum number of segments in flight. The delays are often small.
