Managing the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging network paradigm connecting billions of wireless devices. Proper network resource management will play a critical role in reaping the benefits of this emerging technology for our communications future. But, first, fundamental approaches must provide solutions for intricacies such as imperfect wireless communications, complex network dynamics, complexity of distributed computation, and stringent application-specific Quality of Service requirements as society evolves its dependence on telecommunications.

Dr. Ning Lu, Canada Research Chair in Future Communication Networks, specializes in real-time scheduling, distributed algorithms, reinforcement learning, and design protocols for next-generation future communication networks. He will develop innovative resource management solutions towards robust, efficient, and intelligent wireless IoT networks capable of serving current and future IoT applications. This will have wide-ranging applications in innovations for areas such as smart homes, factory automation, intelligent transportation systems, connected healthcare, and emergency response and rescue.
