The paper titled "Efficient Resource Management in Softwarized 5G Networks using Dynamic Network Slicing Approach" has received the 1st best paper award in IEEE CS BDC SUMMER SYMPOSIUM 2021 among the 90+ papers that were submitted across 10 different countries this year. This was an international paper presentation contest organized jointly by IEEE Computer Society R10 and IEEE Computer Society Bangladesh Chapter. | “Digital India Excellence Award 2017” The “Train 10,000 Teachers” (T10KT) project implemented jointly by IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur has been awarded the “Digital India Excellence Award 2017” in the category "Education” by the Pan-IIM World Management Conference. Padmashree Prof. D. B. Phatak, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, is the Professor In-Charge from IIT Bombay and Prof. Raja Datta, Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering is the PI from IIT Kharagpur of this MHRD-funded project. This project will positively impact the education sector in the country. The award will be presented by the Hon'ble Minister for Human Resource Development at a function scheduled to be held on 16 December at IIM Lucknow. |

Research Areas

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) will now replace the proprietary hardware for carrying out the network functionalities. Further NFV framework can increase the flexibility and reduce network CAPEX and OPEX. NFV has to be optimized when this framework is pushed to the domain of Edge Computing. One of my team is working on 5G Edge computing. Quality of Service and Security in IoT is a major research topic I am interested in. One research groups is working in enhancing QoS with regard to the Internet traffic in IoT. Another group is working on sensor networks and the deployment of sensor nodes for critical area surveillance. Privacy preservation in sensor networks with emphasis to habitat monitoring is also researhed uopn. A research group is engaged in developing protocols for Interplanetary delay tolerant networks. The work is sponsored by ISRO. We are developing efficient protocols for Inter Planetary communication. A team is working on developing vehicular networks for 5G. Issues like RSU deployment, routing in V2V and V2X are being carried out. Projects on developing of Transport Layer protocol for wireless ad hoc networks, specifically for use in mobile ad hoc networks and SDR and designing campus networks are carried out by my netowrking team. Development of wireless MAC protocol is another important research topic my students are involved with. We have developed several protocols that enhances the performance of WLAN for multimedia communication. One of my research scholars is working on survivability of WDM networks in multi-domain optical networks. Recently I am also working on advance reservation for dynamic traffic scenario in WDM networks. Another work that we completed is the development of an automatic bridge health monitoring system for Indian Railways. We used wireless sensor networks for monitoring the vibrations of a railway bridge when a loaded train passes over it.
