Professor
Trends in Wireless Multiuser Communications
Abstract
The exponential demand for wireless capacity coupled with
the very limited supply of radio
frequency bandwidth direct a potent spotlight on physical-layer
communications engineering. Several emerging communication
technologies hold the key to approaching the
information theoretic limits of wireless
multiple-access channels. This talk gives a brief review of
those technologies and their promise to
meet future demand for wireless data rate.

About the speaker
Sergio Verdú is the Spring 2002
Hewlett-Packard/MSRI Visiting Research Professor. He received
the Telecommunications Engineering degree from
the Polytechnic University of Barcelona, in
1980 and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1984. He is
Professor of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University,
Princeton, NJ. He is active in the fields of information
theory and multiuser communications. In the 1980s, he
pioneered the technology of multiuser detection that exploits
the structure of multiaccess interference in order to increase
the capacity of multiuser communication systems. His textbook
Multiuser Detection was published in 1998 by Cambridge
University Press.
Prof. Verdú is a Fellow of the IEEE and a
recipient of several paper awards: the IEEE Donald Fink Paper
Award, a Golden Jubilee Paper Award, and the 1998 Outstanding
Paper Award from the IEEE Information Theory Society, and the
2000 Paper Award from the Telecommunications Advancement
Foundation of Japan. He also received a Milleunium Medal from
the IEEE and the 2000 Frederick E. Terman Award from the
American Society for Engineering Education.
