Fwd: IEEE Distingued Lecturer Program in EGYPT

[Mohammed Nafie]

Dear All,

As part of the IEEE Signal Proceesing Society distinguished lecturers series, Prof. Venu Veeravalli will be giving three lecture in Egypt. 

He will be giving a lecture at NU in B2 auditorium at 11 am on Tuesday Dec. 21st

The abstract follows, and also details of his other talks in Egypt

Understanding and Managing Interference in

Wireless Networks

ABSTRACT: The understanding of point-to-point wireless communications channels with fading and

receiver thermal noise is mature. Recent advances, particularly in the area of multi-antenna

communications, have led to significant increases in the capacity and reliability of point-to-point links.

However, modern wireless networks are limited by interference from other links. While the information

theory for interference networks is still in its infancy, several techniques are being explored in the

research community for managing interference, while maintaining high spectral spatial reuse efficiencies

in these networks. These techniques include spatial user separation, interference cancellation, user

cooperation and relaying, dynamic spectrum access, and interference alignment. The first half of this talk

will be an overview of these techniques. In the second half of this talk, we will discuss some of our recent

results towards an understanding of the information-theoretic capacity of interference networks. We first

discuss a partial solution to the capacity of the two-user interference channel in the weak interference

regime, a problem that has been open for more than thirty years. We also discuss new techniques for

exploiting partial transmitter cooperation in interference channels in optimal ways.
