Research interests: Cognitive Radio
Intelligent Wireless Communications


[4]
Motivations
Recent Development
Cellular system: 3G, 4G, video, game,
WIFI everywhere
WIMAX,
UWB, no cables
Bluetooth, small devices connections
Job Market
Probably one of most easy and high paid majors recently
Intel changes to wireless, Micron will follow? Cypress
Research Potential
multiuser communication & Cognitive radio are still an
open issues.

[5]
Course Descriptions
What is the wireless communication system?
What are the wireless channels?
What are the theorems?
What are the major components and techniques?
How is the information transmitted?
What are the current industrial standards?
Can I find a job by studying this course?
Can I find research topics?

[8]
Homework, Project, and Exam
Homework
3~4 questions per week
Projects:
Wireless Channel Simulation: simple MATLAB programs
Term presentation:
For research on xxx, what is the state-of-art
Exams
Votes for the percentages for homework, projects, and exams
Participations
Attendance and Feedback

[9]
Teaching Styles
Slides plus black board
Slides can convey more information in an organized way
Blackboard is better for equations and prevents you from not coming.
A lesson from last semester: math
Course Website
Print handouts with 3 slides per page before you come
Homework assignment and solutions
Project descriptions and preliminary codes
Feedback
Too fast, too slow, small class advantages.
Presentation, English,

[10]
Reasons to be my students
Wireless Communication and Networking have great market
Usually highly paid and have potential to retire overnight
Highly interdisciplinary
Do not need to find research topics which are the most difficult
part.
Research Assistant, Stipend
Free trips to conferences in Alaska, Hawaii, Europe, Asia
A kind of nice (at least looks like)
Work with hope and happiness
Graduate fast

Most of system because of simplicity
Time division duplexing, TDD:
indoor system only, because of delay
Different from FDMA and TDMA
