Protocols and resource allocation for future cooperative wireless networks

无线通信和网络服务正以爆炸性的速度渗透到我们的社会，而工程界正在制定雄心勃勃的目标，以迅速提高他们的能力。我的研究计划源于无线通信系统和网络的两个挑战：首先，无线系统应该处理时变信道条件；其次，无线通信的容量从根本上受到频谱带宽和传输功率的限制。因此，有效利用无线资源是极为关键的。为此，我的研究计划的主要目标是发现实用的和接近最佳的协议和算法，这些协议和算法可以及时做出决策，以响应不断变化的环境，以便动态分配无线网络的资源。此外，本研究计划将探讨动态资源分配机制所产生的基本和实际问题。

Wireless communications and network services are penetrating our society at an explosive rate, while the engineering community is setting ambitious goals for rapidly advancing their capabilities. My research program stems from two challenges in wireless communication systems and networks: first, wireless systems should deal with time-varying channel conditions; and second, the capacity of wireless communication is fundamentally limited by the spectrum bandwidth and transmission power. Therefore, efficient use of wireless resources is extremely critical. To that end, the main objective of my research program is to discover practical and near-optimal protocols and algorithms that can make timely decisions in response to changing environments in order to dynamically allocate resources of wireless networks. In addition, this research program will investigate fundamental and practical issues arising from dynamic resource allocation mechanisms.
