Orbital Space Corp/ GWU,                        May 1996 Oct.1999  

Researcher/GRA

 

Worked as a research engineer/research assistant in a major communications project "Integration of Direct Broadcast Satellites (DBS) into the Digital Battlefield Using Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites".  Work performed as part of the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) Global Mobile Information Systems Program to the U.S. Army of Intelligence Center, AZ, USA. The project was a joint project with Orbital Science Corp., MD, USA and Aloha Networks, CA, USA. As a leading researcher in the project, primarily focused on designing, developing and integrating the Adaptive Resource Allocation and Management (ARAM) system within the use of a DBS system. Designed, developed, tested and optimized the ARAM simulator, as well as identified and resolved the QoS problems within the network based on a proposed QoS metric. Processed the MPEG video packets for perceptual QoS purposes in the overall system test-bed.
