Mohammad Al-Hattab
BEE (JUST Jordan) Msc Telecommunications Engineering (UNSW)
Doctoral Candidate, Faculty of Engineering
Mohammad is a PhD. candidate at the University of Technology, Sydney. During his undergraduate studies, he was involved in two research subjects, Graduation project I and Graduation project II. These subjects encompassed designing and building an on-line interactive virtual course which was part of a project with two Universities in Jordan, the UK and Palestine with the cooperation of UNESCO.
Mohammad's area of interest is in topology convergence for mobile wireless networks. He is currently working with Dr. Johnson Agbinya’s group on “wireless technology” at the Centre for Real-time Information Networks at UTS. He is studying and researching on how to improve the Quality of Service (QoS) for mobile wireless networks by predicting the topology of the network based on the network's surrounding environment. Mohammad has published papers about network topology and has professional experience in computer programming, network administrations, and teaching.
Topology convergence in mobile wireless networks:
The mobility of nodes in mobile wireless networks result in frequent changes of network topology, thus making routing in these types of networks a challenging task. Network routing tables should be updated, but these updates cost the network a high portion of it's bandwidth. Moreover, updating the routing tables will cause delay for actual data transmission. To overcome this problem, topology convergence updates the routing table in each node based on prediction. Nodes use information from the network environment to predict the topology and then updates the routing tables.
