 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.

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

"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.

About the The UnWiReD Laboratory
The UnWiReD Laboratory's research in
physical layer wireless communications includes:
- coded modulation
- demodulation
- synchronization
- equalization
- channel characterization
optimized for
wireless communications. The UnWiReD laboratory is founded on the following
principles
- Good theory is what is implemented in well
designed wireless communication systems.
- Wireless channels are sufficiently complex
that simple models are not always available to build a complete theory
around.
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.
