| Spectrum Coordination | Develop a sensor network testbed by integrating ZigBee (Telos) motes onto Orbit testbed and extending existing experimental infrastructure. Perform spectrum coordination experiments with Zigbee, Bluetooth and 802.11b in the 2.4 Ghz band. | Software: Linux, C/C++, Java |
| Software Radio | Develop a distributed SDR framework based on USRP and GNU radio software and integrate it with Orbit testbed | Software: Linux, C/C++, Python |
| Robotic/Virtual Mobility | Implementation of various ORBIT related mobility models on both robotic platfrom as well as ORBIT testbed. | Software: Linux, C, XML, Java |
| Network Visualization | Network visualization software for ORBIT portal. Design network views for users, system administrators and visitors and implement GUIs | Software: Linux, C, Python/Perl/PHP |
| Cooperative PHY | Cooperative PHY implementation using the GNU radio | Software: Linux, C/C++, Python |
| Integrated Wired-Wireless experimentation | Start with protocol spec, implement basic transport mechanisms for CNF and test with a combination of wired and wireless nodes by using ORBIT and PlanetLab. | Software: Linux, C/C++,Ruby |
