The 4G Long-Term Evolution Concept for Cellular Networks 

The 4G Long-Term Evolution Concept for Cellular Networks

Joint detection and interference suppression for communications over linear multiple-access channels, such as multiple-antenna channel, code-division multiple-access, or general multitone systems will be discussed. Information theoretic results will be used to guide the evaluation of low-complexity iterative signal processing and decoding algorithms. It will be shown that universal multiuser systems based on redundant signaling and iterative cancelation-based detection exist and can be constructed with manageable computational complexity. Examples of future intended applications are given and the impact on system performance will be discussed. Extensions to wireless network, and the impact on the medium access control layer of such system will highlighted. The need for new protocol designs and examples thereof will also be discussed.

 

Biography


Christian Schlegel
received the Dipl. El. Ing. ETH degree from the Federal Institute of Technology,
Zürich, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN, in 1986 and 1989, respectively. He currently holds an NSERC Industrial Research Chair at Dalhousie University and directs Ultra Marine Digital Communications Centre, focusing on wireless transmission and communications technologies. From 2002–2012, Dr. Schlegel was iCORE Chair for Digital Communications at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. Prior to that, he held academic appointments at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (visiting), the University of South Australia in Adelaide, Australia, the University of Texas at San Antonio, and from 1996-2002 at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City. Professor Schlegel is the author of ”Trellis Coding” (1997, IEEE Press), ”Trellis and Turbo Coding,” (2004 Wiley/IEEE), and ”Coordinated Multiple User Communications,” (2006 Springer). Dr. Schlegel
received a US National Science Foundation Career Award in 1997, a Canada Research Chair in 2001, and a Province of Alberta iCORE Chair in 2001 and 2006. He was named IEEE Distinguished Lecturer in 2007 and 2001, and is an IEEE Fellow.

Dr. Schlegel served as associate editor for coding theory and techniques for the IEEE Transactions on Communications from 1999-2007, guest editor for the Proceedings of the IEEE, and currently serves on the editorial board of Editorial Board of the Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Hindawi Publishing. He is also lead editor for the journal’s special issue on iterative processing, and guest editor for the Journal of Information Systems and Telecommunication Engineering, special edition on LTE/LTEadvanced.
Dr. Schlegel also served as technical program co-chair of the IEEE Information TheoryWorkshop 2001, and the IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT’05) 2005, and as general chair of the 2005 IEEE Communication TheoryWorkshop (CTW’05), and the 2013 IEEE Conference onWireless On-Demand Network Systems and Services (WONS’13). He is also a frequent member of IEEE technical program committees.

Dr. Schlegel has published over 60 technical journal papers and received research grants for over 1 Mio US$ from the National Science Foundation, the Army Research Office, the State of Utah, and private industry, notably L3 Communications in Salt Lake City, Utah, and more than 10 Mio Can$ from iCORE, NSERC, the Canadian Foundation for Infrastructure (CFI), ASRA, the Canada Research Chair (CRC) program, and national and international industry. His work with industry has resulted in eight patents in the area of spread spectrum communication, error control coding, and digital and analog implementations. He is the president and founder of the HCDC consulting group, located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
