[UCI-Calit2] Upcoming event -- Space-Time Coding: Theory and Practice

[Anna Lynn Spitzer]

Title:                                         Space-Time Coding: Theory
and Practice

 

Speaker:                                   Hamid Jafarkhani, associate
professor, electrical engineering and computer science; academic
affiliate, UCI Division, Calit2

 

Time:                                        9 a.m.-5 p.m.

 

Date:                                        Friday, Nov. 17

 

Location:                                   Multi-Purpose Room, 1st
Floor, Atkinson Hall, UC San Diego

 

Details:                                     This day-long short course
is organized by Calit2's Information Theory and Applications (ITA)
Center at UCSD, and will be based on Jafarkhani's 2005 textbook by the
same name. This course covers the fundamental principles of space-time
coding for wireless communications over multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) channels, and sets out practical coding methods for achieving the
performance improvements predicted by the theory. Starting with
background material on wireless communications and the capacity of MIMO
channels, the course then reviews design criteria for space-time codes.
A detailed treatment of the theory behind space-time block codes leads
to an in-depth discussion of space-time trellis codes. The course
continues with discussion of differential space-time modulation and
briefly addresses additional topics in space-time coding.

 

Bio:                                          Hamid Jafarkhani has been
a professor at University of California, Irvine since 2001, where he is
an academic participant in the UCI division of Calit2. He received his
Ph.D. from the University of Maryland at College Park in 1997.
Subsequently, he worked at AT&T Labs-Research, where he and his
colleagues invented "space-time block coding." Jafarkhani received the
best paper award from ISWC in 2002 and an NSF Career Award in 2003. He
received the UCI Distinguished Mid-Career Faculty Award for Research in
2006 and the 2006 IEEE Marconi Best Paper Award in Wireless
Communications. He is an IEEE Fellow and the author of the book
Space-Time Coding: Theory and Practice.
