Kasch, Bill
This session contains papers that address topics relating to channel equalization methods and iterative decoding applications and methods. Paper topics include new methods for iterative decoding, existing methods applied to military systems, and a variety of channel equalization methods focusing primarily on OFDM.

Ms. Andrusenko received her Masters in Electrical Engineering in 2002 from Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA. Ms. Andrusenko's background is in communications theory, wireless networking, computer simulation of communications systems, evolutionary computation, genetic algorithms and programming. Ms. Andrusenko's recent work has focused in the following program areas: Network on the Move (NOTM), Telemetry Tracking System (TTS), Weapons Data Link Network (WDLN), Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIED), Special Radio, Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT), Army Objective Force (OF), Future Combat Systems (FCS), and the Milstar/AEHF system.

Mr. Kasch received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering at the Florida Institute of Technology in 2000 and an M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University in 2003. His interests include various aspects of wireless networking, including MANET, IEEE 802 technology, and cellular. He participates actively in both the IEEE 802 standards organization and the Internet Engineering Task Force.
