By exploiting the ubiquity of future man-made lighting from solid state (LED) devices we anticipate ubiquitous network connectivity. Little\u2019s research is directed at the intersection of networking, free-space optical communications, and the \u201canywhere\u201d computing that they enable. Examples include supporting \u201ctrickle\u201d data dissemination in sensor networks, achieving HD video streaming in high bandwidth-density scenarios such as aircraft seating, and improving vehicular safety via robust vehicle-to-vehicle communications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faculty Associate Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering Associate Dean of Educational Initiatives Associate Director, NSF Smart Lighting Engineering Research Center tdcl@bu.edu 617-353-9877 Education PhD, Syracuse University Biography Thomas Little is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Principal Investigator, and Associate Director of the NSF Smart Lighting ERC.
