ANDREA GOLDSMITH ([email protected]) received her B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in 1986, 1991, and 1994, respectively. From 1986 to 1990 she was affiliated with Maxim Technologies, where she worked on packet radio and satellite communication systems, and from 1991 to 1992 she was affiliated with AT&T Bell Laboratories, where she worked on microcell modeling and channel estimation. She was an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the California Institute of Technology from 1994 to 1998, and then joined the Electrical Engineering Department at Stanford University where she is now an associate professor. Her research includes work in capacity of wireless channels and networks, wireless communication theory, adaptive modulation and coding, multiantenna channels, communications and control, and adaptive resource allocation for cellular systems and ad hoc wireless networks. She is a Terman Faculty Fellow at Stanford and a recipient of the Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, a National Science Foundation CAREER Development Award, the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, a National Semiconductor Faculty Development Award, an Okawa Foundation Award, and the David Griep Memorial Prize from the University of California at Berkeley. She is an editor for IEEE Transactions on Communications and IEEE Wireless Communications.

N2 - Ad hoc wireless networks enable new and exciting applications, but also pose significant technical challenges. In this article we give a brief overview of ad hoc wireless networks and their applications with a particular emphasis on energy constraints. We then discuss recent advances in the link, multiple access, network, and application protocols for these networks. We show that cross-layer design of these protocols is imperative to meet emerging application requirements, particularly when energy is a limited resource.
