Designing adaptive scheduling and resource allocation mechanisms for scalable, energy-efficient 6TiSCH-based smart city IoT networks.
I am a joint PhD researcher at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, and La Trobe University, Melbourne, through the Asian Smart Cities Research and Innovation Network (ASCRIN). My research focuses on adaptive scheduling and resource allocation in 6TiSCH-based IoT networks for smart-city applications. I aim to develop scalable, energy-efficient, and reliable communication mechanisms for dynamic network conditions and bursty traffic.
My research is conducted under the supervision of Prof. Nikumani Choudhury (BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus) and Prof. Wei Xiang (La Trobe University, Melbourne).
Selected research milestones from my work on adaptive scheduling and resource allocation for low-power multi-hop IoT networks.
Predictive Mobility-Aware Scheduling accepted for presentation at IEEE GLOBECOM 2026 in Macau S.A.R., China.
Analytical Slotframe Control Policy accepted for presentation at IEEE ICC 2026 in Glasgow, United Kingdom.
Topology-Aware Rank Allocation accepted at IEEE ANTS 2025 in New Delhi, India.
Adaptive slotframe scheduling work accepted at IEEE GLOBECOM Workshops 2025 in Taipei, Taiwan.
Four peer-reviewed research contributions spanning adaptive slotframe control, topology-aware resource allocation, and predictive mobility-aware scheduling in 6TiSCH networks.
Dynamically adjusts the slotframe according to traffic demand to improve latency, energy efficiency, and scheduling responsiveness.
Uses topology and forwarding position to improve autonomous scheduling, load balancing, and congestion management in multi-hop networks.
Derives a control policy for adaptive resource allocation with predictable latency and efficient utilization under changing traffic conditions.
Predicts the remaining lifetime of mobile wireless links and aligns parent selection and TSCH cell allocation with expected link stability.
