Research Interest

Research Interests My research interests are in wireless communications, focusing on network cooperative diversity, network cross layer design, MIMO systems, and the analysis on network fundamental limits. She has contributed to the areas of multi-antenna systems and cooperative networks in the following aspects: Proposed distributed space-time coding and distributed relay beamforming for cooperative networks Developed multi-user communication schemes for relay networks Investigated the MAC-layer relay selection issue for both one-way and two-way networks Investigated the channel training and estimation error issues for cooperative networks Designed space-time codes for multiple-antenna systems and relay networks Current Research The overall goal of Dr. Jing’s research is to uncover the rudimentary rules, the fundamental limits, and practical schemes for wireless network communications. Current research is focused on: Systematic distributed space-time code designs Distributed beamforming in two-way networks Cross-layer (physical layer and MAC layer) designs for relay networks Multi-user transmission in cooperative networks Channel training design for cooperative networks Green design for network communication.
