Research interests
His research interests cover a variety of wireless communications techniques. Having originally specialised in Physical Layer work and OFDM in particular, he has in recent years expanded his interest to cover more MAC and RRM aspects of wireless and has embraced a cross layer approach to wireless system design. This has been applied in recent years to specific standards such as 802.11 (WiFi), 802.16 (WiMax) and LTE (B3G cellular) as well are core theoretical work.
