Research
Interests
• Low-cost
transceiver design;
• Cross-layer
Design in Wireless Networks;
• Digital Signal Processing in Wireless Communications.
Academic
Experience
• Currently research on PHY-layer adaptation of wireless networks to
optimize energy consumption, cooperating with the proper design of MAC-layer
protocol;
• Developed an adaptive estimation of Doppler shifts for different
Doppler sub paths in DS-CDMA systems with complete CRLB analysis, based on
which a Frequency Domain Equalization (FDE)-based receiver
structure has been developed to exploit Doppler diversity in DS-CDMA systems;
• Developed a frequency domain joint estimation of synchronization
parameter and channel impulse response in DS-CDMA systems;
• Designed and implemented an integer-factor sample rate converter
used in the intermediate frequency stage of typical software defined radio
receiver;
• Involved in the Development of a database system for the library
in Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications using SQL language.
