University: Letterkenny Institute of Technology

Name of Sponsoring Professor: Nick Timmons

Department: WiSAR Lab, School of Engineering

Research:

Our research includes the development of ultra-low power MAC and routing protocols for wireless body area networks(BAN).

Teaching:

OPNET is used in the laboratory of our final year B.ENG (HONS) Embedded Systems Design course. It forms a significant portion of the laboratory work for two modules: Communication Techniques for Embedded Systems and Networking for Embedded Systems. The introductory laboratory exercises are based on the opnet tutorials and introduce the student the benefits of modeling wireless networks. The students are then required to carry out mini-projects in the areas of MAC and routing protocols for wireless sensor networks using OPNET models. Final year project thesis in wireless sensor networks have also incorporated OPNET to simulate and test network models.
