Our Mission

The Wireless Networks Laboratory (WNL) at Cornell University is engaged in research and education in the area of wireless communication and networking protocols and algorithms, as to provide ubiquitous access to wired and wireless resources for mobile and multimedia users. The emphasis in our research has been on the ad-hoc and sensor networking technologies, self-reconfigurable systems, power-efficient, and secure communication protocols. Additionally, WNL has been exploring a number of other research directions, such as application of communication and networking technologies to solve biological problems, designing of biologically-inspired protocols, and delay-tolerant communication. Our research is sponsored by governmental agencies, such as the National Science Foundation, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), and the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and by industrial companies, such as Nortel Networks, Boeing, Bell Laboratories, and Scientific Research Corporation - we are thankful for their support of our work!
