Project goals
  • Development of an affordable system to provide a Mobile Infrastructure for Coastal Regions of India to enable OffshoreCommunications and to solve the technology challenges faced by the fishermen community in India today, specifically by providing extendable and adaptable communication and connectivity while they are out at sea.
     

Research Area:

 Physical

  • Design and development of Coplanarantenna – gain enhancement& range measurement
  • Adaptive beam forming using Smart Antenna for fishing vessels
  • Real time re-orientation of Mobile Directional Antennas in a Marine Communication Network
  • Analysis of Bidirectional Communication between Shore and Sea – A Simulation Framewor
     

  Data link

  • Adaptive, Demand-driven and Energy-efficient 1st Level Point to Multipoint (P2MP) Backhaul Network Setup (Long-range WiFi)
  • Mobility based dynamic channel re-allocation for efficiency and performance improvement in wireless networks
     

 Network

  • Design and Development of OpenFlow FisherMesh Network
  • Delay Tolerant Network Management for Inter/Intra Boat Communication
  • Adaptive Routing Through Topology Preserving Map
     

 Applications & Services

  • An Early Warning System for Collision Avoidance ofVessels at Sea
  • Location based Hierarchical data Classification for information dissemination in marine sector
  • Data mining techniques for data dissemination and Localization of missing fishing vessels in the deep sea
  • Localization and Tracking of Multiple Mobile Boats
  • Design of mobility model for fishing vessels in the Arabian Sea
     

Cross layer

  • Multi-dimensional Optimization of the Backhaul Network for Offshore Communication with Boats
  • Distributed Intelligence Based Self organization and Resource Planning for Offshore Communication
