RSEARCH EXPERIENCE:
•	Masters Thesis : I am currently working on my thesis, Multicasting in ADHOC
networks.                   May 2010                      
•	Research Paper  – “COARSE - CLuster-Based Quality Oriented Radio Resource
Allocation Scheme” , H. Venkataraman, A. Chowdhary and G.M. Muntean: - Under
Review in Elsevier Computer Networks.
•	Research Project: QOAS protocol                                               
                                 	  May2008-July 2008
My research topic deals with objective and subjective testing results, which
assess the performance of the Quality-Oriented Adaptation Scheme (QOAS) when used
for high quality multimedia streaming over wireless Multi Hop Ad Hoc Cellular
Networks. My objective is to show that results of tests using a QOAS simulation
model developed in Network Simulator (NS2).


RELEVANT COURSE PROJECTS:




•	Adaptive Quality of Service with Cisco Access Points					 Jan 2010 – May 2010

The objective of this project is to evaluate the influence of having QoS
configuration in access points for multimedia traffic (Voice Over IP, data, and
streaming) in the presence of background best effort traffic. This project was
conducted on real Cisco AP 1240AG, and, simulations were performed in OPNET.

•	Simulation Project : Markov Queues							  Jan 2010 – May 2010
Simulating a single and multiple server system with QoS policies like uniform or
shortest queue first and comparing both the systems under multiple  input
conditions. The system is developed in C language and Matlab.
•	Internet protocols: DGoogle								Sept 2009 – Dec 2009 
A Google like application based on Distributed Hash Table was implemented in
both Centralized and a Peer- to- Peer design applications. This application was
developed in Java platform.

•	Connection-oriented networks: Opnet simulations for ATM networks 		Sept 2009 –
Oct 2009
The objective is to find a mix of permanent and soft virtual connections
(SVX/[S] PVX) to prevent the resources from being reserved in excess, while
ensuring that the QoS requirements are still met. This project is done using
OPNET.

•	Connection-oriented networks								Nov 2009 – Dec 2009
-	Implemented a Generic cell rate leaky bucket algorithm in C.
             -     MPLS traffic engineering:  using Graphical network simulator
– GNS3.
