Wireless communications and its challenges in the next 10 years
Wireless communication systems usage has increased dramatically over the last 30 years. They started as simple devices supporting only voice that requires low data rates. And they are now used in applications with video and high definition graphics that require very high data rates. In addition, Internet Of Things (IoT) are expected to be deployed in the billions in the next 10 years. This makes accessing and sharing the spectrum channel very challenging. To solve this problem, a lot of research to develop new technologies to solve this problem are underway. This talk discusses the issues of spectrum shortage and channel access in wireless systems we are faced with today. It will also present some of the research in Software Defined Radio (SDR) that are used in solving these problems. In addition, it presents how research in Machine Learning is used to address these problems.
Short Biography:
Prof. Chibane is a Lecturer, Research Scientist, Technologist and Entrepreneur with more than 30 years of experience in advanced technology development for NASA, DARPA and major government laboratories in the US. He is currently the founder and chief scientist of AuresTech, which performs research for the aerospace industry in the US.
Previously, he was a research scientist at MIT - Lincoln Laboratory and Draper Laboratory where he led research in advanced space communications, guidance and navigation. He was one of the early adaptors of FPGA processing and his research now includes the application of configurable computing to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
He is a former adjunct professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University where he lectured on advanced engineering topics and mentored and advised students at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
