Abstract:

Channel fading and interference are two major challenges of modern wireless systems. Although each of them is studied in-depth separated, limited results are obtained when both factors play significant roles simultaneously. This talk discusses fading and interference from both information theoretic and silicon-system design viewpoints. In theory part, we will investigate fading interference channels without channel status information (CSI) at transmitters. Thereby, the focus is information fundamental metrics such as channel capacity and degrees-of-freedom (DoF). In the practical part, some practical design examples are discussed, including silicon designs used in modern 802.11ac chips and an interesting joint receiver design. While the two parts hold their own standpoints, our discussion emphasizes several common principles used by both sides. The talk will be concluded with a brief discussion of differences between theory study and practical system design, which, in turn, inspires many interesting new research directions.
