In 1949, Claude E. Shannon's seminal work, "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," laid the groundwork for two pivotal research fields: coding theory and information theory. These fields have been instrumental in the advancement of modern digital communications and have fueled the rapid development of wireless and mobile communications.
The "Reliable Communications" research group at the Selmer Center, currently led by Chunlei Li, aims to enhance the reliability, and spectral efficiency of wireless communications for integrating digital, physical, and human worlds. The group's primary research focus is on:
Error-Correcting Codes for Short/Medium-Packet Communications
- Short-Packet Coding: Developing codes and decoding techniques specifically designed for short-packet transmissions, which are prevalent in machine-type communications and IoT applications.
- Non-Binary Codes: Investigating non-binary codes for improved spectral efficiency.
- Rank-metric Codes: Explore the design and fast decoding of rank-metric codes for networking coding, space-time coding to enhance network throughput and robustness to fading and interferences
Waveform Design for 5G and 6G Mobile Networks
- Multi-Carrier CDMA: Designing advanced multi-carrier CDMA waveforms to enhance spectral efficiency and robustness.
- NOMA: Developing waveforms with low coherence, PAPR for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) schemes to facilitate massive IoT connections and enhance energy efficiency
- Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC): Exploring the design of waveforms with low ambiguity that can simultaneously transmit information and sense the environment, enabling efficient resource utilization and new applications.
