I am currently working on the following projects, you can jump in if you are looking for theses topics.

Enabling multi-connectivity in time-sensitive Wi-Fi 7: New Wi-Fi standard IEEE 802.11be offers multi-connectivity in different levels to ensure reliability and efficient use of wireless spectrum. It will be a crucial part of critical systems that require wireless connectivity within time-sensitive communication. This project aims to combine new IEEE 802.1 TSN protocols with Wi-Fi 7 to enable fault-tolerant and deterministic wireless communication. It includes exploring the principles for their coexistence and implementing several multi-connectivity scenarios in a discrete-event simulator, e.g., OMNeT++ or ns-3.

Intrusion detection in time-sensitive networks: IEEE 802.1 TSN protocols replace legacy networking protocols in critical systems such as automobiles, aircraft, and industrial systems. Although these systems should always be safe and secure in case of any challenges, TSN protocols lack built-in security features. Therefore, we implemented an open-source intrusion detection system (IDS) based on Zeek, and presented our initial results in a recent paper. This project aims to extend and improve the existing IDS to protect further protocols against more advanced attacks.

Synthesizing datasets for IEEE 802.1 TSN: Several works in the literature successfully optimize the primary features of IEEE 802.1 TSN, such as traffic scheduling, redundancy, and orchestration. However, due to the lack of existing TSN systems and thus datasets, machine learning and artificial intelligence models cannot be leveraged in the TSN domain yet. This project aims to synthesize an extensive dataset including various mechanisms of TSN. It includes designing, configuring, and verifying the internals of a critical system, e.g., a car, plane, or industrial facility, in OMNeT++ and conducting extensive simulations. You can check out our latest paper, presenting a more detailed roadmap.
