INDUSTRIAL EXPERIENCE

·         Technicolor/Thomson                                                                                              (June 2, 2010 - Sept. 3, 2010)

2 Independence Way, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA

Internship - My task involved designing a reliable multicast protocol for wireless mesh networks. To achieve that, Network Coding is employed. The protocol is implemented and simulated using Network Simulator 2 (NS-2). Results show significant performance improvements over main existing state-of-the-art protocols.

400 Crossings Blvd, suite 102, Bridgewater, NJ 08807, USA

Internship - My task involved designing a Voice over IP (VoIP) system that is based on both Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and peer-to-peer (P2P) technology. The idea is to utilize the advantages provided by both schemes, i.e., SIP as a standard adopted by many VoIP clients, and P2P as a distributed infrastructure that avoids the drawbacks resulting from the centrality of SIP. For performance evaluation, the PlanetLab testbed is used.​
