Bora Akyol graduated from the Department of Electrical
Engineering, Stanford University in 1997 with a PhD degree.
He obtained his BS in Electrical Engineering
from Bilkent University, Ankara, TURKEY. His PhD research focuses
on Wireless Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Networks. He together
with Prof. Donald C. Cox, developed the Overlay
Signaling and Migratory Signaling
for support of mobile users in Wireless ATM Networks. Overlay Signaling
supports mobile users using the existing ATM signaling protocols.
Migratory Signaling is fully backward compatible with existing ATM protocols
and enhances them by adding support for mobile users. As the name suggests
Overlay Signaling may be used together with Migratory Signaling
to evolve a global wireless ATM network. For rerouting Wireless
ATM connections in the event of a handoff, Bora and Prof. Donald Cox
developed the Nearest Common Node Rerouting
(NCNR). For media access control in Wireless ATM networks, Dynamic
Resource Allocating Multiple Access (DRAMA) was developed. Bora
passed his oral dissertation defense in February. He finished his PhD thesis
in June 1997. For detailed information you can email him
