A good Honours project should always have an element of research
in it. If you're stuck for ideas, here's a few of the current
research areas in wireless and ad-hoc networks - taken from
the IEEE
Conference Applications and Services in Wireless Networks (ASWN
2003):
Media
Distribution over Wireless Networks;
New
Data Services for Wireless Network;
Audio-visual
Applications for Home and Business;
Inter
Domain and Inter System Mobility;
QoS
Profiling and Pricing, end-to-end QoS
Security
and AAA Aspects;
Nomadic
Services, Interface Management ;
Mobile
ad-hoc Networks, Multihop Wireless Networks;
Wireless
Local Loop Technologies;
Wireless
Personal Area Networks;
Software
Radios;
Enabling
Technologies and Architectures, 3G and beyond;
Service
Development, Validation & Test;
Service
Creation and Discovery; Location-based Services;
Middleware
for Mobile Applications and Services;
Mobile
Multimedia;
Performance
of Mobile/Wireless Networks and Systems
Mobile
Service Interworking;
Context
and Ambient Awareness;
Cooperative
Networks.
A good place to start in developing a project is to view research
papers. From Napier you can download the papers from ACM. Here
