• This work has been presented in both AIRNET “French-funded RNRT project” and CHORIST “Eu- ropean project”

Programming Languages and Tools: C/C++, Shell scripts, XML, Linux OS, UML (User Mode Linux for emulation)

October 2002- September 2006: PhD Thesis on Cross-layer design of 11-based Mobile Ad hoc Net- works For QoS Provisioning, Eurecom Institute, Mobile Communication group.

My thesis research work addressed advantages and impacts of cross-layer architectures in Wireless Mo- bile Ad hoc Networks (MANET). We studied problems related to media access control (IEEE 802.11/e), energy consumption, and network connectivity in wireless mobile ad hoc networks. Moreover, we pro- posed mechanisms and architecture models based on cooperation and parameter sharing between MAC and Routing layers in order to provide a good performance for real-time applications. I have published and presented several papers describing my works in international conferences.

Programming languages and tools: C / C++, Shell scripts, TCL/TK Material, Matlab, NS2 simulator, Linux OS.

• September 2001 – July 2002: Master (DEA) Internship, INRIA Planet Research Gr

This project was done under the supervision of Qiang Ni and Thierry Turlity. During this period, we

analyzed the performance of the IEEE 802.11e EDCA scheme, and we proposed an adaptive tuning of CW parameter value in order to enable a good medium utilization and provide QoS support. Programming Languages and tools: C / C++, Shell scripts, TCL/TK, NS2 simulator, Linux OS
