CV of Wilson So p. 1 of 4

Introduced a family of parameterized MAC protocol for devices of vastly different capabilities (e.g., sensors and laptops). Showed explicit cooperation among different classes of devices can improve throughput and fairness Classified existing multi-channel MAC protocols for ad hoc networks into 4 categories and built mathematical models for their throughput Introduced a new MAC protocol (McMAC) that allows an ad hoc network to use all available channels without a control channel bottleneck to increase throughput Implemented key components of McMAC on actual wireless sensor hardware (Motes) to prove feasibility

Apr 2002 – Sept 2003

Adaptive QoS over ad hoc wireless networks

o

o Aug 1998 – May 2002

WebTP: a user-centric framework for web transport

o

o o

Explored different architectures to support applications with mixed QoS requirements (e.g., video, voice, and WWW) in a large-scale mobile ad hoc network Implemented an overlay routing system in Linux with QoS routing support Proposed a flexible transport framework allowing applications to specify a customized transport protocol (from primitive UDP to fullfeatured TCP) for improved user experience given limited network bandwidth. Wrote a prototype WebTP stack on Linux Implemented a web proxy to prioritize embedded web page graphics downloads

2000

Mobile Mote: object tracking

o

Implemented a tracking system using coin sized wireless sensors (Berkeley Motes)

1998

JAWS: a parallel programming environment for cluster

o

Designed & implemented a pure Java parallel programming environment using work stealing

o

Converted a key idea in Ph.D. thesis research into a product Designed a multi-channel MAC protocol for industrial real-time applications Implemented the new protocol in firmware Patent pending
