Tactical wireless networks often comprise clusters of nodes, which are fed information from a head node. Transmit antenna arrays mounted on the head node (e.g., unmanned aerial vehicle) offer an attractive means of boosting capacity and assuring quality of service through transmit beamforming. The central goal of our research was to investigate efficient multiuser transmit beamforming strategies, and develop high-throughput low-complexity algorithms that will meet the needs of future tactical wireless networks. Sum capacity, quality of service, and fair service objectives were considered, under unicast and multicast scenarios. A key innovation of our work is the concept of physical layer multicasting, which affords significant capacity gains. A number of effective and efficient algorithms were developed, drawing upon and contributing to semidefinite relaxation (SDR) tools. Closely-related added-value topics of our research program included: i) computationally efficient quasi-optimal multiple input multiple output detection (using lattice search, data association, and SDR tools); ii) accurate and scalable node localization from pairwise distance estimates; and iii) tracking of time-varying carrier signals (using and developing associated particle filtering tools). Our work on these topics has been reported in seven (IEEE, SIAM) journal papers and seven IEEE conference papers. Variants of some of our published algorithms are currently considered for adoption by industry.

Following the pattern of the Internet growth in popularity, started in the early 1990s, the current unprecedented expansion of wireless technology promises to have an even greater effect on how people communicate and interact, with considerable socio-economic impact all over the world. The driving force behind this growth is the remarkable progress in component miniaturization, integration, and also devel- ments in waveforms, coding, and communication protocols. Besides established infrastructurebased wireless networks (cellular, WLAN, sat- lite) ad-hoc wireless networks emerge as a new platform for distributed applications and for personal communication in scenarios where deploying infrastructure is not feasible. In ad-hoc wireless networks, each node is capable of forwarding packets on behalf of other nodes, so that multi-hop paths provide end-to-end connectivity. The increased flexibility and mobility of ad-hoc wireless networks are favored for appli- tions in law enforcement, homeland defense and military. In a world where wireless networks become increasingly interoperable with each other and with the high-speed wired Internet, personal communication systems will transform into universal terminals with instant access to variate content and able of handle demanding tasks, such as multimedia and real-time video. With users roaming between networks, and with wide variation in wireless link quality even in a single domain, the communications terminal must continue to provide a level of Quality of Service that is acceptable to the user and conforms to a contracted Service Level Agreement.
