General Research Areas in Wireless Networks

General Research Areas in Wireless Networks:

1 – Sensor Networks [Clustering, Self organizing, SWORM Intelligence etc. ]
2 – Mesh Networks [Delay Tolerance, Network Optimization, Network Scalability, Issues at different layers]
3 – Next Generation Networks, Long Term Evolution (LTE)
4 – Cognitive Radio (MAC Protocol Issues), Different other Spectrum Issues
5 – Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) Different Issues in Security, Routing, Link Stability, QoS and so on.
