This research topic includes 

• Design of wireless sensor networks

​

We optimally deploy agents, schedule their activities and find the energy efficient data flow routes for a wireless sensor network.

​

• Optimization of digital communication systems 

 

We design low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes for digital communication systems and design decoders with high error correction capability.

​

 

In this research area, we publish four journal articles.
