Congratulations on obtaining our university's First American Patent

Proud Milestone Achievement – US Patent Granted

We are delighted to announce a landmark achievement for our institution — the grant of a prestigious U.S. patent titled:

“System for Reducing Rerouting Time in MANET Using Virtual Buffer Zone Technique”
Patent No.: US 12,609,898 B2

This marks the first American patent awarded to the University, a significant milestone in our journey toward global research excellence.

The patent is credited to Dr. Ashok G. Verghese, Pro Chancellor, whose visionary leadership and research contributions continue to elevate the institution to international recognition.

About the Innovation

The invention focuses on Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs), addressing one of their critical challenges—rerouting delays due to dynamic topology changes.

The proposed system introduces a Virtual Buffer Zone Technique, where:

Each node maintains a virtual buffer region around itself.
Upon detecting topology changes, the node broadcasts updates within this zone.
Neighboring nodes proactively update routing tables.

Additionally, this approach has promising real-world applications such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication in blind spots in hill stations, where rapid and reliable routing updates are critical for safety and collision avoidance.

Key Impact

Significantly reduces rerouting time
Enhances network efficiency and reliability
Improves performance in dynamic and decentralized environments

This innovation represents a major step forward in efficient routing management for highly dynamic network systems, with potential applications in defense communications, disaster recovery, IoT networks, and intelligent transportation systems.

Heartiest congratulations to Dr. Ashok G. Verghese for this remarkable achievement and for bringing global recognition to the University.
