| Type: | Talk |
| Time: | 31 May 2012 11:00–12:00 |
| Place: | Consilium (TEL 1315) |
| Abstract: In the talk I will discuss some unique challenges facing wireless networking in unused analogue TV frequencies (white spaces), and I will give an overview of our research that addresses some of the challenges. In particular, I will focus on the power asymmetry problem and the spectrum fragmentation problem. Due to various regulatory constraints white space networks give rise to power heterogeneity. This further pronounces the hidden terminal problem and yields frequent starvation of low-power nodes. Also, non-contiguous spectrum availability and diverse bandwidth capability of various devices makes it difficult to efficiently use fragmented spectrum. I will present two of our recent projects with novel PHY/MAC designs that address these two challenges. | |
| Bio: Bozidar Radunovic is a Researcher in the Networks, Economics and Algorithms group at Microsoft Research, Cambridge. His research interests are in architecture and performance evaluation of computer systems with particular interest in wireless communication, cross-layer design and application of advanced communication techniques in network system design. Bozidar received his PhD in technical sciences from EPFL, Switzerland, in 2005, and his BSc at the School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade, Serbia, in 1999. He was a PhD student at LCA, EPFL from 2000–2005. Then he did a one year post-doc at TREC, at ENS Paris, in 2006. He also did a 6 month internship in IBM Zurich Research Labs in winter 2004/05. In 2008 he has been awarded IEEE William R. Bennett Prize Paper Award in the Field of Communications Systems. | |
