Activity
TREC is focused on the mathamatical modeling, the control and the design of communication networks and protocols. The main research directions are:
- communication network control: admission control, flow regulation, congestion control, traffic analysis in controlled networks;
- modeling and performance analysis of wireless networks (cellular, mesh, ad-hoc, sensor, etc.): coverage and load analysis, power control, evaluation and optimization of the transport capacity, self organization;
- stochastic network dynamics , with focus on classical topics for TREC like rare events or stability, and new ones like simulation (in particular perfect simulation) and statistics (in particular inverse problems);
- economics of networks; a new domain opened in 2008: epidemic risk model, incentives, security, insurance, diffusion of innovations;
- the development of mathematical tools based on stochastic geometry, random geometric graphs and spatial point processes: Voronoi tessellations, coverage processes, random spatial trees, random fields;
- combinatorial optimization and analysis of algorithms: random graphs, belief propagation.
Trec's methodological activities are combined with projects defined with industrial partners.
