Biography

I am with the Communication Section of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Madras, and also reside in the sylvan IITM campus (which is blessed with over 400 species of birds, exotic plants, about 20 species of wild animals, and 200+ monkeys!). My academic research interests include adaptive estimation and it's application to digital wireless communications transceiver algorithms. Our research group is currently involved in the performance analysis and capacity enhancement of emerging MIMO-OFDM mobile broadband systems which could be considered for IMT-2020, with special emphasis on non-orthogonal spectrum sharing technologies. This involves inter-operator co-operation at various levels, and opens up new problems (and solutions!) all the way from user admission control, scheduling, rate-adaptation, and new transmission waveforms as well as non-linear receiver algorithms to handle the increased co-channel interference. We have several funded R&D projects in the "standards-compliant" MIMO-OFDM theme, and also on the design of custom air-interfaces for strategic, fail-proof communications
