Research
My current research focuses on developing new methods for analyzing and implementing wireless broadband and portable internet access at millimeter wave frequencies and above. My students and I have pursued the potential of millimeter wave wireless communications, and frequencies above this spectrum, as a way to meet the growing global demand for bandwidth in both personal and cellular applications, and in both indoor and outdoor scenarios from dense urban settings to rural fiber-replacement. Using smart antennas, integrated on-chip antennas, and much greater spectrum than ever available before, we envision the ability to offer unprecedented bandwidths to mobile devices, while completely transforming the form factors and mechanical design of appliances and electronics. See mmWAVE for more information. This exciting world was first made possible by Moore’s law, and the first unlicensed 60 GHz millimeter wave band[1]. Other applications include the concept of an “information shower” where people walk from room to room, and massive amounts of content is downloaded or exchanged with devices on an as-needed basis[2],[3]. This interdisciplinary research vision combines RFIC design and semiconductor research capabilities with MAC and Network layer research, as well as radio propagation channel measurements and modeling, at frequencies of 60 GHz and greater.
By 2020, the world will see single chip data transceivers that reliably transfer more than 10 GB/s data for more than 200 meters in a vast number of military or commercial applications. A recent interdisciplinary National Science Foundation (NSF) research project involved 4 undergraduate students and 2 graduate students and developed new methods for analyzing mobile IP throughput and large scale wireless network behavior. NSF funding has allowed collaboration with the University of Auburn on the development of antenna steering to “find” highly directional portable devices in space, and along with sponsorship from our NYU WIRELESS Industrial Affiliates companies, has enabled us to capture more than 1 Terabytes of real-world measurement data at frequencies from 10 to 73 GHz throughout the United States. Further NSF funding has enabled our students to create realistic channel models and impulse response simulators, like NYUSIM, that are now being used by the global standards bodies and academicians throughout the world. Other work, funded by our Industrial Affiliates and NSF has looked at health effects due to non-ionizing radiation at mmWave frequencies, and how to model the human body for reflection and absorption. Current NSF funding is enabling our students to create novel algorithms and estimate the capacity that future mmWave wireless systems will achieve through the use of adaptive beamsteering, spatial multiplexing, massive MIMO, and Cooperative Multipoint Point diversity (CoMP). A recent NSF project, WiFiUS, is a joint effort with Finland researchers and Columbia University, where we are exploring future networks that will use edge-servers to bring content close to the edge, and how the wider bandwidths at mmWave frequencies will allow rapid/accurate position location for devices and users – something that will be needed in the coming Internet of Things (IoT).
My research goal is to make the wireless channel understood as well as a copper wire, and to design and fabricate devices, systems, and methodologies that unleash improved data transmission rates or enable new applications of wireless, such as will be needed for driverless cars, drones, biosensors, medical research, or paperless office technologies. My research has also developed site-specific network modeling and management tools that are now routinely used by industry for study, simulation, and deployment of wireless systems.
A sampling of earlier publications and talks that helped launched the mmWave movement (before the world ever believed mmWave could work) can be found here. Work that my students and I had done in the mid-1990s at 38 GHz showed me that someday this 5G millimeter wave future would be possible. We just had to wait for Moore’s law and the consumption of data to catch up to what was waiting for it. Our pioneering measurements in Austin (2011) and New York City (2012) gave proof that wideband mobile communications at frequencies never thought to be viable would indeed work well in non-line of sight conditions in urban and suburban channels. A complete list of more recent papers are given below.
Many thanks to the generous funding we have received from our NYU WIRELESS Industrial Affiliate companies, the National Science Foundation, The US Dept. of Education, and, of course a huge thanks goes out to the hard working generations of students whose efforts have made these research products possible and who are lighting the way to an exciting wireless future (Click on the citation for the document):
