Program Themes

The Wireless Winter School is built upon five distinct and complementary themes. These themes provide focus on advanced emergent topics in Wireless Communication.

Multi-access Techniques

The dream of ubiquitous communication is becoming reality. The result is largely due to advances in multiple access theory and practice. This theme will provide experts in the field and will focus on the following topics in particular:
  • Multi-User Detection
  • Multi-user Techniques for Digital Subscriber Lines

Multi-Antenna Systems

laptop    "Space is fundamental to all wireless communication. Spatial diversity encompasses techniques for achieving high-data-rate wireless communications by exploiting the space in which that communication occurs." This theme will provide advanced views of the burgeoning multiple-antenna theory field.
This theme will cover

  • MIMO Systems
  • Application of Antenna Arrays to Mobile Communications

Emerging Wireless Techniques

laptop   Non-linear and turbo optimization have gained great interest since the surge in work on turbo codes. Joint source and channel optimization has become well established, and further work is now being directed toward joint channel-and-receiver optimization. So-called iterative receivers are at the forefront of this advance.

This theme will cover

  • Particle Filtering for Wireless Communications
  • Turbo Gibbs Sampling for DS/CDMA

Machine Learning applied to Wireless

  • Machine Learning for Wireless
  • Networks for Wireless

Tools for Wireless Signal Processing

laptop   
The most significant part of the wireless technology revolution is the simulation, testing and analysis of the theory and designs. From Matlab signal processing to test new theory, to DSP implementations for high-speed protoyping. This theme will provide workshop attendees the opportunity to develop and hone their skills with leading technologies.



The theme will include
  • MATLAB for Wireless Signal Processing
  • Mathematica for Wireless Signal Processing
