Research in Wireless Communications

Description:
Research in this area focuses mainly on the physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers of wireless communication systems.  Topics include: modulation, coding, fading mitigation and channel phase compensation, multiple access, improved spectral efficiency techniques, MIMO and RF technologies for wireless systems. Wireless communications systems permit individuals to be “connected” regardless of their physical location.

Applications:
Research done in this area is applicable to cellular networks, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Wireless local area networks (WLAN), Local Multipoint Distribution Services (LMDS), etc.
