 DSRC Project (12/18/2006)The Dedicated Short Range Communications project page is up: DSRC Project Page  Visualizing MIMO Beamforming (12/17/2006)A media rich page on MIMO Beamforming has been posted. The page visualizes beamforming in a mobile environment and illustrates how the concept of untangling applies to MIMO channels. Visualizing MIMO Beamforming Talks at Globecom Conference 2006 Cong Shen and David Browne presented their work at IEEE Globecom 2006 in San Francisco. (see Publications) Talks at the 44th Allerton Conference Heechoon Lee and David Browne presented their work at the 44th Allerton Conference. (see Publications) Live Demos at Mobicom Conference 2006 Two UnWiReD teams made live dmonstrations of their testbeds at the 2006 Mobicom Conference in Los Angeles on Sept. 29. Jared Dulmage headed up the demo of a DSRC/802.11p testbed (download PDF presentation) while Haleh Tabrizi and Henrik Borgstrom made a demo of the directional radio testbed. (see Publications) CENS 2006 Summer Internship Program Four undergraduate students joined the UnWiReD lab for a summer 2006 internship as part of the CENS Undergraduate Research Program. Valerie Bick (Cal. Poly.) Eric Seidler (WSU), Katherine Kuan (MIT) and Haleh Tabrizi (UCLA) spent the summer completing development on a directional radio testbed. The testbed is being used to measure radio propagation between nodes in sensor networks and to develop energy efficient communication strategies for remote sensor networks (see the project website). UnWiReD Talk at IEEE ComSoc Chapter Meeting David Browne gave a talk on MIMO communications research to the Buenaventura Chapter of the IEEE Communications Society on May 9th, 2006. UnWiReD Talk at 802.11n Meeting Cong Shen gave a talk on "MIMO-OFDM Beamforming for Improved Channel Estimation in 802.11n WLAN" at the IEEE 802.11 WLAN WORKING GROUP SESSIONS, July 18, 2006, Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, CA, USA. UnWiReD Talk at Conexant Cong Shen gave a talk on "MIMO-OFDM Beamforming for Improved Channel Estimation" at Conexant, April 14, 2006, San Diego, CA, USA About the The UnWiReD Laboratory The UnWiReD Laboratory's research in physical layer wireless communications includes:
optimized for
wireless communications. The UnWiReD laboratory is founded on the
following principles
This has led us
to establish a working paradigm for wireless communications that is
well summarized with:
 Hence we believe in a solid theoretical foundation for our efforts. The target journals of our work are the transactions of the IEEE Information Theory and Communication Societies. We also feel that much insight can be gained by looking at experiments in real wireless channels about how the theory can be revised and made more relevant. Hence we believe in constructing experimental wireless systems to test out the theory in real wireless channels. Our hope and goal in following this classical scientific method is to push wireless communications theory and practice in productive ways to achieve the spectral efficiency and performance that modern society will soon need. |
