Research interests in WINET
SDN for Wireless
• A new set of problems: – User mobility – Variable link quality – Context awareness
• Widespread use (home networks, etc) – No expert administrators: should just work – RF coexistence with other networks
Ethanol: SDN for WiFi
• Extensions for the control of WiFi APs
• No changes on the user terminals
• Interfaces for mobility management, virtualizaUon, host diagnosUcs and informaUon
Ethanol: implementaUon
• Runs on PCs and APs using embedded Linux (OpenWRT)
• Future work – Extensions for mesh networks
– Control protocols for network TroubleshooUng
Manageable SDR
• SDN today focuses on the network layer
• What if SDN controlled the MAC/PHY layers?
• What are the most suitable commands/events/acUons to program the MAC/PHY layers?
Manageable SDR – Ongoing work
• More computaUonal power on the terminal – More refined predicUon of channel quality – MulU-‐protocol radios (e.g. WiFi+Bluetooth+ZigBee)
– Dynamic adaptaUon of the MAC protocol (e.g. TDMA versus CSMA)
• Projeto exemplo: WIRELESS NETWORK RECONFIGURATION USING SIGNAL ESTIMATORS
Mobile networking
• Coopera'on: how to ensure that users donate their resources on opportunisUc/parUcipatory networks?
• IncenUve mechanisms • GamificaUon • Projeto exemplo: Um Arcabouço de Decisão Mul'-‐Critérios para Descarga de Dados Oportunís'ca em Redes Móveis

components. Next, Figure 11 presents the node installed on anon-energized TL. Finally, the node is shown on the ground,in order to give a better notion of its size. On this phase of thetesting we focused on the collection of small one shot requests(no images). All the requests are responded within one or twoseconds.
Next, we will install a larger Morelit prototype in anenergized power line. This network will operate for a longerperiod, in the order of months, and will be available to theutility’s TL operations team. The main objective of this testis to verify the operation of the system as a whole on longstretches of time.
V. CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE WORK
This paper presented the design and development of a RTMsystem for electric transmission lines. The real-time monitoringof various physical values, and the possibility of acting on thesystem, is currently a pressing need for generation, transmis-sion and distribution of electricity. Using real-time monitoring,the electric utilities can identify blackouts, brownouts andcritical events more quickly, reducing the cost of maintenanceand operation of TLs and increasing their reliability. Further,engineers of the partner electric company (CEMIG) are veryenthusiastic on the applicability and usefulness of the proposedsystem.
This kind of project faces important challenges of differentnature, including electromagnetic compatibility, operation inhostile external environments, which are prone to dust, wind,high temperatures for long periods of time, difficulties in themaintenance and replacement of equipment, secure communi-cation and the physical security of the equipment.
The installation of RTM systems, in turn, creates newopportunities for analysis and correlation of data, which can behandled in future projects. Pattern extraction and data miningcould be used to find patterns that indicate impending failures,
or to generate models that anticipate the occurrence of faults inthe TL. Furthermore, the aggregation of multiple sensor dataand its analysis in the sensor node, rather than an a posteriorianalysis in the operation center, can reduce the amount ofdata exchanged in the monitoring system, further increasingthe lifetime of the monitoring network.
