Seminar: Channel Heterogeneity in MU-MIMO Systems: Results and Observations

06 July 2018, 3:00 pm–4:00 pm

Network superimposed over modern city

With large antenna arrays slated to become the enabling technology for 5G, the practical issues of incorporating many antennas in space-constrained devices have become a focus of many research studies. Among these is increased spatial correlation. In the past, multi-user system performance analysis assumed, partially for reasons of analytical tractability, simple exponential correlation models, with equal correlation among users. Recent channel measurement campaigns, however, have demonstrated that such assumptions are indeed idealistic and that differences in scattering parameters among users result in variability of spatial correlation. This talk will present a number of recent results on the performance analysis of multi-user MIMO systems focusing on the effects and implications of such system heterogeneity.

Speaker biography

Pawel A. Dmochowski (S’02,M’07,SM'11) was born in Gdansk, Poland. He received a B.A.Sc (Engineering Physics) from the University of British Columbia in 1998, and M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario in 2001 and 2006, respectively. He is currently a Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering and Computer Science at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. Prior to joining Victoria University of Wellington, he was a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Visiting Fellow at the Communications Research Centre Canada. In 2014-2015 he was a Visiting Professor at Carleton University in Ottawa.

He is a Senior Member of the IEEE. Between 2014-2015 he was the Chair of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society Chapters Committee. He has served as an Editor for IEEE Communications Letters and IEEE Wireless Communications Letters. His research interests include mmWave, Massive MIMO and Cognitive Radio systems, with a particular emphasis on statistical performance characterisation.
