Title: Achieving Spectrum Efficiency

Abstract:
As wireless traffic has grown explosively, wireless carriers are running out of spectrum to accommodate users' ever increasing hunger for network bandwidth. The scarce radio spectrum calls for new technologies to dramatically improve the spectrum efficiency. In this talk, I will describe our recent research on developing a new MAC protocol for spectrum sharing and enabling distributed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) in real networks for spectrum access. Through this combination of physical and MAC layer innovations, we aim to bring the spectrum management to a whole new level.
