The Communications and Networking Lab is part of the Signals and Systems division in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Northwestern University. It is the home to faculty and students with a research interest in the design and analysis of modern communication systems. Our research encompasses both physical layer communication problems as well as higher layer network issues. Specific research topics include:

• Resource allocation and scheduling techniques for wireless networks.
• Performance analysis and protocols for wireless ad hoc networks.
• Congestion control techniques for TCP/IP networks.
• Adaptive signal processing for multiuser communications.
• Cross layer interactions and performance limitations in wireless networks.
