WNCG Profs. Gustavo de Veciana and Jeff Andrews recently received an award for Best Collaboration with the wireless group at Huawei. This international award goes to a funded university collaboration the company deems most impactful from among their offices and partner institutions worldwide.
“We are very pleased to accept this award,” Prof. de Veciana states. “The experience of working with engineers at Huawei has been very rewarding and fun.”
Due to scarcity of spectrum at conventional cellular frequencies (CCF), the use of higher frequencies such as mmWave has been proposed for 5G cellular networks. The cellular systems consist of multiple networks, each deployed by an independent cellular operator with possibly closed access only to its customers. It is worth noting that communication at mmWave frequencies has non-trivial differences when compared to communication at CCF.
Surface transportation safety can be enhanced by the use of wireless technologies, mainly automotive radar and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. Automotive radar provides a high-resolution low-latency approach for a continuous automatic detection and ranging of both communication-enabled and non-communication-enabled transportation users. V2V systems rely on the collaborative communication between vehicles to achieve a real-time cooperative detection and ranging.
