报告内容:
Wireless ad-hoc networks enable communications between a number of transceivers, without a fixed infrastructure. Typically, information is passed from source to destination via a number of relays. For collaborative ad-hoc networks, the information is passed over several relay nodes in parallel, thus improving the reliability and increasing energy efficiency. For such networks, the traditional design paradigm of separately optimizing physical layer, MAC layer, and network layer, leads to suboptimum results. Instead, we have to employ a cross-layer design, taking into account the impact of the layers onto one another.
After a general introduction to this principle, the talk will concentrate on case studies of cross-layer optimization in collaborative ad-hoc networks. We consider a network where nodes employ fountain codes to ensure reliable transmission, and show how routing in such networks differs from conventional shortest-path routing. A summary and conclusions wrap up this talk.

Andreas F. Molisch is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Head of the Wireless Devices and Systems (WiDeS) Group at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA. He received the Dipl. Ing., Dr. techn., and habilitation degrees from the Technical University Vienna (Austria) in 1990, 1994, and 1999, respectively. From 1991 to 2000, he was with the TU Vienna, becoming an associate professor there in 1999. From 2000-2002, he was with the Wireless Systems Research Department at AT&T (Bell) Laboratories Research in Middletown, NJ. From 2002-2008, he was with Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs, Cambridge, MA, USA, most recently as Distinguished Member of Technical Staff and Chief Wireless Standards Architect. Concurrently he was also Professor and Chairholder for radio systems at Lund University, Sweden. Since 2009, he is Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Dr. Andreas F. Molisch has done research in the areas of SAW filters, radiative transfer in atomic vapours, atomic line filters, smart antennas, and wideband systems. His current research interests are measurement and modeling of mobile radio channels, UWB, cooperative communications, and MIMO systems. He has authored, co-authored or edited four books (among them the textbook "Wireless Communications, Wiley-IEEE Press), eleven book chapters, more than 110 journal papers, and numerous conference contributions, as well as more than 70 patents and more than 60 standards contributions.
Dr. Andreas F. Molisch is an editor of the IEEE Trans. Wireless Comm. and co-editor of special issues of several journals. He has been member of numerous TPCs, vice chair of the TPC of VTC 2005 spring, general chair of ICUWB 2006, TPC co-chair of the wireless symposium of Globecomm 2007, TPC chair of Chinacom2007, and general chair of Chinacom 2008. He has participated in the European research initiatives "COST 231", "COST 259", and "COST273", where he was chairman of the MIMO channel working group, he was chairman of the IEEE 802.15.4a channel model standardization group. From 2005-2008, he was also chairman of Commission C (signals and systems) of URSI (International Union of Radio Scientists), and since 2009, he is the Chair of the Radio Communications Committee of the IEEE Communications Society. Dr. Molisch is a Fellow of the IEEE, a Fellow of the IET, an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer, and recipient of several awards.
