THE NORTH JERSEY CHAPTER OF THE IEEE COMMUNICATIONS SOCIETY and THE CENTER FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND SIGNAL PROCESSING RESEARCH Present DISTRIBUTED DYNAMIC RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN WIRELESS NETWORKS by DR. CHIH-LIN I AT&T BELL LABORATORIES WHEN: Monday, April 15, 1996, 11:30 a.m. (refreshments at 11:15) WHERE: Room 202, Electrical and Computer Engineering Center New Jersey Institute of Technology ABSTRACT In an effort to enhance system-level efficiency for wireless/cellular networks, dynamic channel allocation (DCA) has been pursued to cope with time and spatial variations of traffic demands in cellular networks. DCA has a particularly prominent role in future microcellular networks as a means to relieve the need for frequency planning. We will provide an overview of generic forms of DCA methods and discuss their respective advantages and constraints. New heuristic algorithms will be presented along with their performance results. We will show how the optimum performance of the impractical centralized maximum packing DCA can be approached by practical distributed DCA schemes, e.g., the local packing DCA. Finally, implementation considerations and system implications will be presented. In particular, we will describe the key base station technologies involved and suggest an easy evolutional path from current wireless network architecture to that incorporating the new DCA scheme. BIOGRAPHY Dr. Chih-Lin I received the Ph.D. degree from the Electrical Engineering Department of Stanford University in 1987. She is a member of the Wireless Networking Research Department at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, NJ. Her main research efforts have been on PCS/PCN wireless communications. In particular, she has led work on microcell/macrocell cellular architectures, distributed dynamic radio resource management in hybrid (wired and wireless) PCNs, network mobility management, and wireless multimedia access schemes in both TDMA and CDMA systems. She is currently the editor of wireless networks for IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking and a member of the editorial boards of Wireless Networks and Wireless Personal Communications. She has numerous publications and holds several patents in the aforementioned fields. She has organized and chaired sessions and panels on PCN/wireless networks for various IEEE conferences. She is a member of the IEEE, AIAA, ACM, Phi Tau Phi, and CIE, and was on the board of directors at the CIE-NCTU Chapter. She has received numerous academic awards and the IEEE Communications Society's S.O. Rice 1994 Prize Paper Award. PLEASE POST For more info. contact N.
