IEEE talk by Bhaskar Rao TONIGHT!!

ABSTRACT

This talk addresses Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems in which transmitters and receivers are equipped with multiple antennas. MIMO technology constitutes a major advance in the design of wireless communications systems, and is already at the core of several wireless standards. In addition to exploiting the time and frequency degrees of freedom, MIMO techniques exploit the spatial dimension to deliver significant performance enhancements in terms of data transmission rate and interference reduction. This talk discusses the benefits of MIMO systems followed by fundamental capacity limits of point to point MIMO systems, transmitter design, including limited feedback precoding and space-time coding. This will be followed by a discussion of issues in multiuser and cooperative MIMO.

BIOGRAPHY

Professor Bhaskar D. Rao received the B.Tech. degree in electronics and electrical communication engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, in 1981 and 1983, respectively. Since 1983, he has been with the University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, where he is currently a Professor with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. His interests are in the areas of digital signal processing, estimation theory, and optimization theory, with applications to digital communications, speech signal processing, and human-computer interactions. He is the holder of the Ericsson endowed chair in Wireless Access Networks and is the Director of the Center for Wireless Communications. His research group has received several paper awards. Recently, a paper he co-authored with B. Song and R. Cruz received the 2008 Stephen O. Rice Prize Paper Award in the Field of Communications Systems and a paper he co-authored with S. Shivappa and M. Trivedi received the best paper award at AVSS 2008. He was elected to the fellow grade in 2000 for his contributions in high resolution spectral estimation.
