The North Jersey Chapter of the IEEE Communications Society New Jersey Institute of Technology Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Center for Communications and Signal Processing Research New Jersey Center for Multimedia Research present OFDM for Wireless Communications: Techniques for Capacity Improvement> Ye (Geoffrey) Li AT&T Labs - Research Thursday, December 10, 1998 Refreshment 4:15 PM, Seminar 4:30 PM NJIT, ECEC Room 202

ABSTRACT:
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation is a promising technique for achieving the high-bit-rates required for a wireless multimedia service. In this talk, we describe three techniques to improve the capacity of OFDM systems, which are robust channel estimation for coherent detection, adaptive antenna arrays for interference suppression, and transmitter diversity for high efficient transmission.

BIOGRAPHY:
Ye (Geoffrey) Li was born in Jiangsu, China in July, 1963. He received his B.S.E. and M.S.E. degrees in 1983 and 1986, respectively, from the Department of Wireless Engineering, Nanjing Institute of Technology, Nanjing, China, and his Ph.D. degree in 1994 from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Auburn University, Alabama. From 1986 to 1991, he was a teaching assistant and then a lecturer with Southeast University, Nanjing, China. >From 1991 to 1994, he was a research and teaching assistant with Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama. From 1994 to 1996, he was a post-doctoral research associate with the University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland. Since 1996, he has been with AT&T Labs - Research. His general research interests include statistical signal processing and wireless mobile systems. He is currently serving as a guest editor for a special issue on Signal Processing for Wireless Communications for the IEEE Journal of Selected Areas in Communications and as an editor for Wireless Communication Theory for the IEEE Transactions on Communications.

All are welcome to attend!
Free pre-meeting refreshments will be provided at 4:15 PM and the meeting will start 4:30 PM.
