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 …

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, …

While most members of the general public probably do not take much notice of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and its rulings, the organization has a profound effect on how all of us interact with our radios, televisions, satellite and cable systems, and wireless devices. On July 14 the FCC voted affirmatively on a historic …
