报告摘要：
Over the ages, research in wireless communications has been evolving through a quest for answers to the fundamental questions: why, what and how? Why do people, separated by physical distances, cannot hear each other talking? Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone was driven by this curiosity; so was Guglielmo Marconi’s telegraphic signalling across the Atlantic Ocean in 1901.
Channel impairments and multiple access interference limit the capacity and the geographical coverage of a wireless system. Radio resource management is essential to achieve high system utilization, while global communication necessitates the interworking of different telecommunication domains. Interworking of different domains, however, has profound ramifications on the formulation and linkage of the building blocks to construct an information transport platform. This talk will first provide an exposition and a critical look at future evolution of wireless communications and networking, beginning with a brief historical perspective of wireless technology, a look at the obstacles posed by nature and the challenges facing the designers, and then an examination of power distribution/allocation mechanisms that are essential functions of radio resource management.
报告人简介:
Jon W. Mark completed and received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from McMaster University in 1970 under the auspices of an NRC PIER Fellowship, while on leave from Westinghouse Canada Ltd. He joined the Department of Electrical Engineering (later Electrical and Computer Engineering) at the University of Waterloo in September 1970 and served as the Department Chair from July 1984 to June 1990. He was on sabbatical leave at IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY (1976-77) as a Visiting Research Scientist, Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ (1982-83) as a Resident Consultant, Université Pierre et Marie Curie (1990-91) as an Invited Professor, and the National University of Singapore (1994-95) as a Visiting Professor.
He is currently a Distinguished Professor Emeritus and the founding Director of the Centre for Wireless Communications at the University of Waterloo. A life Fellow of the IEEE, Dr. Mark is a co-author of the text titled Wireless Communications and Networking, Prentice Hall, 2003. Over the years, he has served on a number of editorial boards, as a member of the ComSoc Awards Committee, and a member of the Inter-Society Steering Committee of the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking for 11.
