Li develops the fundamental understanding required to tackle problems in these
networks by first reviewing relevant protocols, then formulating problems mathemat-
ically, and solving them algorithmically. Wireless MAC protocols, including various
IEEE802.11protocols,802.16,Bluetooth,andprotocolsforwirelesssensornetworks

topology control methods are explored at length; and routing protocols for unicast,
broadcast, and multicast are described and evaluated. Cross-layer optimization is also
considered.

XiangYang Li is currently an associate professor of computer science at the Illinois
InstituteofTechnology.Healsoholdsavisitingprofessorshiporadjunct-professorship
at TianJing University, WuHan University, and NanJing University, in China. He was
awardedhisPh.D.in2001fromtheDepartmentofComputerScienceattheUniversity
ofIllinoisatUrbana-Champaign.Aleadingresearcherinthefieldofwirelessnetworks,
he has made important contributions in the areas of network topology and routing.
His current research interests include cooperation, energy efficiency, and distributed
algorithmsforwirelessadhocandsensornetworks.
