Research Interest
In general Professor Maher's research interests focus on cutting-edge technology for 4G and B4G wireless systems such as LTE, LTE-A and beyond. SU-MIMO, MU-MIMO combined with OFDMA and capacity approaching codes, such as Turbo Codes and LDPC, are technologies that are expected to boost spectral efficiency to a level where capacity will be able to meet data rate requirements on the short-to-medium horizon (until 2014-2015). Due to the increased use of smart phones, electronic tablets, along with bandwidth-hungry applications that run on these devices such as video streaming, it is expected that data rate requirements will be much greater than the capacity that will soon be offered with the use of the technologies mentioned above.
