Description We have developed resource allocation techniques using game theoretic and convex optimizations for massive MIMO wireless networks. We have also performed various mathematical analyses for beamformer design and for understanding interference in wireless networks.
Exploitation Route This findings has been published in two high impact IEEE Journals and submitted for publication in one IEEE Journal.
Sectors Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software)

 
Description This project produced several novel techniques for enhancing the data rate and coverage of wireless networks. The importance of our works on massive MIMO, multi-cell beamforming and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is reinforced by the significant citations of our work. As these technologies are essential enabling technologies for wireless networks beyond 5G, there is a significant potential for our work to impact the design and standardization of 6G networks.
