As more of the world increases its use of wireless devices and networks, researchers and telecommunication companies face challenges in how to balance the burden of billions of users with the demand for faster and more efficient networks. These challenges also occupy the minds of Electrical and Computer Engineering researchers at NYU Tandon, whose doctoral …
It’s likely that 5G, the term used to describe the next-generation of mobile networks, will be a complicated mish-mash of technologies. Some of the 5G vision includes existing technologies like LTE and LTE-Advanced Pro, self-organizing networks (SON), software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV). But 5G will also likely include lesser-known technologies like massive …
On July 14, 2016 the FCC adopted new rules for wireless broadband operations above 24 GHz, making the U.S. the first country to make this spectrum available and leapfrogging other nations in the race for 5G mmWave technology. We thought this was a perfect time to talk with Theodore (Ted) Rappaport, Professor at NYU and …
It looks as though getting millimeter wave (mmWave) technology to work in rural areas might not be as daunting a task as it once appeared. Researchers at NYU Wireless went out into the field last summer to see for themselves, with some surprising results. In a paper titled “Millimeter Wave Wireless Communications: New Results for …
Each year, about 1.38 million women worldwide are diagnosed with breast cancer. Advances in diagnosis and treatment have facilitated a 90 percent, five-year survival rate, among those treated. Given the increased rate and length of survival following breast cancer, more and more survivors are facing a life-time risk of developing breast cancer-related lymphedema; one of …
Dr. Roberto Padovani gave the prestigious Jack Keil Wolf Lecture on Wednesday in NYU Tandon’s brand new Makerspace. His presentation, “The Road to 5G,” focused on the standardization efforts the industry is making for next generation cellular technology or 5G. Dr. Padovani is the Executive Vice President and Fellow at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. He joined …
ABSTRACT: The standardization efforts for next generation cellular technology or 5G is now at full throttle with early commercial deployments expected for 2020. I will present Qualcomm’s view and efforts on 5G as we approach the final stretch of yet another generational cycle. BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Roberto Padovani is Executive Vice President and Fellow at Qualcomm …
The Marconi Society has awarded George MacCartney, Jr., an electrical engineering doctoral student at NYU Tandon and a researcher at NYU WIRELESS, a 2016 Paul Baran Young Scholars Award for his work on millimeter-wave radio propagation. He is the first researcher from NYU to win the prestigious prize. The Marconi Society said it chose MacCartney …
Qualcomm has some of the best modem engineering in the world and having multiple vendors could result in unequal performance between different versions of the iPhone 7. (When Apple had both TSMC and Samsung manufacturing its A9 processor for iPhone 6s, it resulted in a difference of 5%-7% in battery life performance.) It’s likely that …
Elza Erkip, professor of electrical and computer engineering, delivered the opening talk at the IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory in Barcelona, Spain, last month. The conference is a leading global conference attended by academic researchers and industry professionals working in various aspects of information theory, including wireless communications, compression, security and cryptography, Big Data …
