Distinguished Lectures

April 21, 2020: Prof. K.V.S. Hari (Indian Inst. Science, Indian), Wireless Channel Modelling of Drone-Ground links using RF measurements

He will briefly introduce the motivation to study channel modeling followed by a brief overview of the experiments in channel measurements leading to the IEEE 802.16 standard. He will present the challenges in developing a communication system for drone communication links using current systems like LTE and the motivation to study the wireless channel models for such networks. Also, he will present the drone-ground wireless channel measurement system design, data collection methodology, and preliminary results of the analysis based on the experiments that have been carried out on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

September 23, 2019: Prof. Karim Abed-Meraim (Univ. Orleans, France), Blind and Semi-Blind System Identification

Blind System Identification (BSI) is a fundamental problem which is signal processing sometimes known by different names: blind deconvolution, blind equalization, blind deconvolution or blind separation of convolutive mixtures. In all these instances, the objective is an inverse problem where an observed (multi-channel) system output one seeks to identify the unknown channels and/or retrieve at […]
