Current Research Focus
The current research focus is "wireless channel engineering" and "mediumband wireless communication" for beyond-5G wireless communication. Towards this goal, our research ventures into Electromagnetism, Material Science, Communication Theory, Digital Signal Processing and Statistics.
​
Wireless Channel Engineering: Wireless communication is, not only a business between the wireless transmitter and the wireless receiver, but also inextricably intertwined with the propagation environment. The modern wireless transmitters and receivers are so advanced, and operate at the very edge of human ingenuity. In today’s wireless communication, the effect of the propagation environment on wireless communication is the main limiting factor. Wireless channel engineering refers to a broader class of systems that focuses on manipulating this "wireless propagation environment" or the "effect of the wireless propagation environment" for the benefit of wireless communication.
Mediumband Wireless Communication: does not refer to a specific technology or product or a band of frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum but rather to an operating condition or regime or a class of waveforms for wireless communication systems. It's akin to a different "lifestyle" for wireless systems, where the systems perceive and handle challenges, like multipath, differently when operating in the mediumband. When systems operate in the mediumband or use mediumband waveforms, they can do signalling at a faster rate, can avoid deep fading, and also can afford more interference. This line of research focuses on understanding the depth and the breath of the benefits of communicating in the mediumband and effectively harnessing them for future wireless communication.
