Vehicular Ad Hoc Network
My recent research is focused on the Quality-of-Service (QoS) provisioning for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) and wired high-speed networks. I am specially interested in Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor networks. Currently, we are working on multiple interesting projects on Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (WAVE), also known as IEEE 802.11p, and mesh networks, IEEE 802.11s. See our demo on YouTube.
Localization of Wireless Terminals
We have also developed an accurate location estimation technique for indoor environment using compressive sensing. The accuracy is below 0.5m in office environment. The proposed algorithm has been developed on HP PDA devices and tested in Bahen Centre at the University of Toronto, Bayview Village shopping mall in North Toronto, and Canadian National Institute for Blind (CNIB). See our demo here. [very large file]

Wireless and Internet Research Laboratory (WIRLab)
WIRLab is a quarter million dollar facility dedicated to wireless and internet research at the University of Toronto. WIRLab hosts an array of high-end routers and switches, multiple wireless networks, soft routers, server racks, top quality desktops, notebooks, PDAs, sensors, mobile robots, and DSRC devices. The current research direction in WIRLab is on mesh/sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and Cellular Networks, addressing the critical issues in the upcoming IEEE 802.11s and 802.11p standards. Our research investigates both analytical approaches to network performance studies and implementation aspects. The researchers in WIRLab have strong analytical background and are involved in realization and engineering of novel networking solutions.
