UAV Network Simulation Using Zigbee Protocol

Abstract:
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been developing and becoming prevalent in various fields or disciplines in current world. Meanwhile, the effective tactics to control and monitor UAVs is an increasingly important topic for research. In our project, the proposed idea is based on Zigbee protocol that can be implemented on any air vehicle by using Zigbee Wireless Sensors that are low cost, low power, reliable and secure to control and monitor the internal and external functions of the air vehicles. Various UAV network scenarios are simulated with Riverbed Modeler(OPNET) to demonstrate network performance, as well as pros and cons of using Zigbee protocol.

On the viability of 4K-Cloud Gaming on Wi-Fi

Abstract:
Over the past decade, we’ve seen cloud gaming turn increasingly ubiquitous thanks to the proliferation of high-speed networks & cloud computing [2]. Cloud now allows games to be played over multiple devices. It has brought a paradigm shift in the way games are distributed as digital copies. We can now rent games-on-demand without being worried about the memory usage in our systems. Sony’s PS Now & Nvidia’s GeForce Now already offer their subscribers a limited library of popular games at 1080p 60fps.

Using Riverbed Modeler tools, we design a network configuration to study various scenarios to identify the feasibility of game streaming in 4K over Wi-Fi.

Network applications of SDN using Mininet

Abstract:
Software Defined Networks (SDN) is a process where the control is moved out of the individual network nodes and into the separate centralized controller. Hence, the controller can exploit complete knowledge of the network to optimize flow management as well as support the user requirements. In this project a custom network topology is created in Mininet by using a centralized SDN controller. The aim of this project is to demonstrate different capabilities of SDN by implementing SDN switch as a hub and as a Firewall.

Simulation and Analysis of Sybil Attack in MANET

Abstract:
Mobile Ad hoc Network(MANET) is a wireless connection of self configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices. MANETs can be exploited with several cyber attack methods, compromising the security of the nodes within the network. Sybil attack is one of the serious threats when it comes to Wireless networks. The Attacker can make a node illegitimately claim multiple identities with identity theft, misleading other nodes by showing wrong/duplicate ID. The attack is named after a case study of a woman diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder. In this project simulation we will implement the sybil attack on Mobile Ad hoc Network and study its effects.
