Abstract: This talk has two parts. In the first part, the speaker will share his vision and research opportunities regarding future 5G wireless systems. The world is now using the 4-G LTE wireless systems. However, the research community is already hard at work creating the next generation 5-G wireless systems, expected to arrive by 2020+. What sets the future 5-G apart from the current 4-G? It will have a data capacity 1000 times greater, and an energy-efficiency 1000 times better, translating into faster bit rate and higher connectivity. In addition, it will support new application scenarios such as machine-to-machine communications. Such goals are not easily achievable. The talk, in layman language, will take the audience into the new vision as well as key technical challenges and innovations in future 5-G wireless systems. In the second part of the talk, the speaker will do some sharing about studying PhD in general and applying Ph.D. in HKUST.
Biography: Vincent obtained B.Eng (Distinction 1st Hons) from the University of Hong Kong (1989-1992) and Ph.D. from the Cambridge University (1995-1997). He completed the Ph.D. degree in two years and joined Bell Labs from 1997-2004. He joined the Department of ECE, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2004 and is currently a Chair Professor and the Founding Director of Huawei-HKUST Joint Innovation Lab at HKUST. He is also elected as IEEE Fellow, HKIE Fellow, Croucher Senior Research Fellow and Changjiang Chair Professor. Vincent has published more than 220 IEEE journal and conference papers and has contributed to 32 US patents on various wireless systems. In addition, he is also the key contributor of four IEEE standard contributions to IEEE 802.22 (WRAN / Cognitive Radio). His current research focus includes robust cross layer optimization for MIMO/OFDM wireless systems, interference mitigation techniques for wireless networks, delay-optimal cross layer optimizations as well as multi-timescale stochastic network optimization. He has obtained three IEEE best paper awards and is currently an area editor of IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, area editor of IEEE Signal Processing Letters, EUARSIP Wireless Communications and Networking as well as guest editor of JSAC.
