Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description Powerful multi-carrier transceiver schemes were conceived, which relied on multiple-output, multiple-input (MIMO) arrangements for enhancing both the transmission integrity as well as the attainable throughput. These MIMO systems hence achieve an improved quality of experience for smart phones and tablet computers.
Exploitation Route A large number of IEEE publications were conceived, but I only uploaded the journal papers. Our industrial partners substantially benefitted from the research and we were able to attract further funding as a consortium.

Description There were several Indian companies, who used the research results, such as CeWit for example, which is a spin-off company of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in Chennai. They also conveyed the results to the 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) standardization body. They also employed one of my students. In the UK side, British Telecomms was also part of the project and they have had a high-level representation in the consortium both through their Ipswich and their Abu Dhabi facility. This collaboration also led to another project with BT, which is related to improving the achievable transmission speed of copper-wire based WIFI systems across the UK. We are exploiting the hitherto unused part of the bandwidth above 50 MHz.
