| This session focuses on some of the challenges facing mathematical modeling the physical layer in ad hoc networks. The accurate and precise mathematical modeling of ad hoc radio systems has been identified as a critical research area in the emerging field of Network Science. Relevant papers study issues of BER performance in a number of channel environments for both SISO and MIMO, binary signature design for code division multiplexing, and a generalized diversity combining system for coded transmission. | |
| Dr. Charles (Bud) Graff earned his BSEE and MSEE from Drexel University and a PhD in Computer Science from Stevens Institute of Technology. Since 1972, he has been working for the US Army at Ft. Monmouth as an Electronics Engineer and Senior Electronics Engineer. He has been involved with a large number of military programs that range from basic research in spread spectrum communications, packet switching, energy efficient radios and networking, energy efficient MIMO systems, and mobile ad hoc radio and network design. Most recently he has been involved with the basic research issues in Network Science, and is currently the lead engineer of an advanced development program in Ad Hoc Network Design. | |
