to AU-KBC Wireless Course
Program Description:
Wireless LAN has penetrated into numerous markets including
laptops, VoIP phones,and portable consumer electronic devices. Nearly
300 million WLAN chips were sold in 2007. This number is expected to
reach almost 700 million in 2011 with 50% of the units based on the
802.11n standard. MIMO is one of the key components of this
standard.Other wireless standards such as 802.16e (WiMAX) and LTE also
exploit MIMO to enhance user experience by improving the data rate and/
or reliability of the link. This course will provide a primer on the
802.11n standard as well as MIMO technology.
Dr. Sankaran will present the evolution of the 802.11 standard, a
detailed discussion of various PHY and MAC level modifications
proposed in 802.11n, and focus specifically on the MIMO technology
used in the standard with an intuitive explanation for how MIMO
enhances user experience by increasing the data rate and/or signal
quality. Upon completion of this course, the attendees will know the
key features of the 802.11n standard and also have a basic
understanding of the MIMO techniques.
Speaker:
Dr. Sundar G. Sankaran, Atheros Communications, San Jose, USA
About the speaker:
Dr. Sundar Sankaran has been working in wireless industry for
almost 10 years designing wireless communication systems, including
WiFi and WiMAX. He has published many papers in refereed conferences
and journals, and authored book chapters. He is also the inventor/co-
inventor of 8 U.S. patents (including pending). He earned a Ph.D.
degree in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech. Teaching is one
of his passions. He taught a senior level course on Digital Signal
Processing at Virginia Tech. He currently serves as an adjunct faculty
in the Electrical Engineering Department at Santa Clara University. He
is a senior member of the IEEE.
