Dr. Eylem Ekici from The Ohio State University will discuss "Optimal Distributed Scheduling for Streaming Traffic in Wireless Networks" on Thursday, October 27. A reception will be held at 3:30 p.m. in 348 Avery Hall, followed by the presentation at 4:00 p.m. in 115 Avery.
The paper concerns finding alternative distributed solutions geared towards the QoE metrics associated with streaming traffic through introducing a distributed cross-layer scheduling algorithm for networks with single-hop transmissions that guarantees finite buffer sizes and meet minimum utility requirements.
Dr. Eylem Ekici received his B.S. and M.S. in Computer Engineering from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey, in 1997 and 1998, respectively. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, in 2002. Currently, he is an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH. He is an associate editor of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, Computer Networks Journal (Elsevier), and ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review. Professor Ekici is the recipient of 2008 Lumley Research Award of the College of Engineering at OSU. Dr. Ekici's current research interests include wireless sensor networks, vehicular communication systems, and next generation wireless systems, with a focus on routing and medium access control protocols, resource management, and analysis of network architectures and protocols. He is a Senior Member of IEEE and a member of ACM.
