A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF WINLAB
WINLAB maintains a broad "system" focus in
order to identify important merging wireless
opportunities, and supports a wide range of research activities
as a result. Currently, WINLAB research is focused on new
radio and network architectures that will greatly expand the
scope and scale of wireless information, reduce
its cost, and create valuable new services.
Key elements of these architectures are super-high-speed and
increasingly "smart" radios that will exploit a variety of
transmission technologies and access protocols;
low-cost, integrated wireless sensors that will
provide a new level of information about us and the world
around us; and decentralized protocols that will allow these
ad hoc and disparate elements to organize themselves
into efficient, secure networks.
