Teaching

Communications Systems (Postgraduate/Undergraduate)

This module provides a broad background to communications systems and the associated underlying theory. The module will provide an introduction to the generic communication system model, and how it is affected by noise. This will also include switching networks, PCM and SQNR, voice over packet. It will cover and introduction to information: the information measure, entropy and the binary symmetric channel model; coding: for compression and for error detection and correction.

Modelling and Performance (Postgraduate/Undergraduate)

Background material: probability, conditional probability, Markov models, Queue modelling of OS, e.g. multi-tasking, proof (and uses) of Little¿s law. Workload modelling: exponential versus Pareto; call centre analysis. Simulation-how to generate random numbers from arbitrary distributions, steady state versus terminating; output analysis; some simple simulation applications. Reliability theory: oriented towards electronic systems, though e.g. passive component failure, and then to microprocessor (embedded software) systems through s/w failures Network Science: introduction to the fundamental ideas in network science: graph theory, network metrics, network models, network robustness. Approach to modelling emergence and topological robustness of supply networks, communication networks and general human-technology interaction.

Signals and Information (Undergraduate)

This first year module introduces the fundamentals of signals, Fourier Series, information theory and signal statistics. Topics covered include: signal fundamentals such as discrete versus continuous time signals; signal average, energy and power; orthogonality; Fourier Series. The module also provides an introduction to information theory, including the information measure, entropy and the binary symmetric channel. Basic ideas in statistics will also be introduced. It will be taught by a combination of lectures, tutorials and labs.

Research

Research Interests:

My main focus is on analysis, simulation and measurement of packet?based networks, in wired and wireless scenarios. This includes evaluat ing QoE as well as more traditional network performance metrics.

Focusing on EP/G012628/1< span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"> Optimal design of performance measurement experiments for complex, large-scale networks, Key Findings:

Broadband packet communications networks, exemplified by the internet, are supporting virtually all information exchange internationally. Packet-lev el performance (packet loss and delay) is the dominant factor controlling user experience of these networks, and as user experience is ultimately the key factor driving commercial success, the key network performance measures must be accurately monitored.

A challenging unsolved problem in packet networking has lo ng been: how do we monitor packet level performance in an optimal fashion? This is equivalent to asking how we can ensure that the samples of loss and delay taken from a network c ontain the maximum amount of information (or that they have minimum variance and bias).

In this project we addressed this question. By modelling networks using Markov state models we have been able to treat network measurement and monitoring as numerical experiments. This crucial step then allowed us to optimise these measurement experiments using the Statistical Theory of the Design Of Experiments (DOE).

The major results of this project includ e a utility based framework for optimisation of packet network measurement, and a new approach to optimal sampling based on the maximisation of Fisher Information. This latter bre akthrough led directly to the development of framework for a new science of DOE that allows the ?items? in any experiment to be inter-connected. This is new, and has the potential to revolutionise the use of DOE across a wide range of domains, including agriculture, drug development, viral-marketing techniques, and social policy research as well as in comm unications networking.

Potential use in non-academic contexts

Potential use in non-academic contexts: Network and Service Providers have an urgent need to accurately monitor the performance of their networks, essentially to ensure that they are meeting the guarantees th at are written into their Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Our research can be used directly to set-up pre-existing network monitoring equipment to ensure that best possible use i s made of the monitoring equipment.
