Communication Systems
About
Vision
We are engaged in leading-edge research in many areas of communications, networking, and signal processing. We are driven by their potential impact on our society and environment. Our focus is on the design and evaluation of architectures, algorithms, protocols, and management strategies for communication systems. The applications cover many areas, including the Internet, wireless networks, sensor networks, optical networks, and other communications systems.
Innovation
The work in our group spans various areas including coding, relaying, channel modelling, statistical signal processing, multiple access, scheduling, routing, multimedia, image processing, target tracking, optical transceiver, sensors, antenna, as well as distributed security design. We collaborate with companies, academic institutions and government agencies in British Columbia, Canada and around the world on joint projects.
