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 …

Five papers published by NYU WIRELESS faculty and students ranked in the top 100 downloaded papers of IEEE publications and societies for July. This is a remarkable accomplishment, showing that the support from the NYU WIRELESS Industrial Affiliates and the NSF and NIH, and the tireless efforts by NYU WIRELESS graduate students and faculty, are …
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) made history last month by unanimously voting to pass the proposal of the Spectrum Frontier Proceeding. With this move, it allocated unprecedented amounts of bandwidth for 5G wireless communications. “Carriers and entrepreneurs alike now have a true wireless fiber opportunity for fixed and mobile, and our work at NYU WIRELESS …
Mobile data consumption is soaring, but a broad set of technology advances is poised to transform what today’s smartphones and other wireless mobile devices can do—ushering in high-resolution video and fully immersive, 3-D environments. At the NYU Wireless lab in Brooklyn, students are testing prototype equipment—forerunners to next-generation phones—that are able to transmit a blazing …
Three years after he and his NYU students proved millimeter wave technologies worked, Ted Rappaport, Professor at NYU and the Founding Director of NYU Wireless, speaks with TIA NOW from the launch of the White House’s Advanced Wireless Research Initiative. Rappaport highlights the rapid progression, from proof of concept to reality, of millimeter wave and …
1. New spectrum frontiers Millimeter-length waves (mmWave) operate in the band of radio frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum from 30 to 300 gigahertz (GHz). In the past, they have commonly been used in space communications, radio astronomy and remote sensing — but not in telecommunications because they are prone to deterioration in crowded settings. Recent …
Combined with the White House’s Advanced Wireless Research Initiative to spend $400 million over the next seven years to research and develop next-generation wireless technologies, last Friday was a “double rainbow” kind of day, as millimeter wave technology pioneer and NYU Wireless founding director Ted Rappaport put it. There’s all kinds of reasons for celebration, …
