Are we at the Shannon limit of the Physical Layer?
óTime-varying channels.
We don’t know the Shannon capacity of most wireless channels
óChannels with interference or relays.óCellular systems
óChannels with delay/energy/$$$ constraints.óAd-hoc and sensor networks
Shannon theory provides design insights and system performance upper bounds

Rethinking Cellular System Design
ó Traditional cellular design assumes system is “interference-limited”ó No longer the case with recent technology advances:ó MIMO, multiuser detection, cooperating BSs (CoMP) and relays
ó Raises interesting questions such as “what is a cell?”ó Energy efficiency via distributed antennas, small cells, MIMO, and relaysó Dynamic self-organization (SoN) needed for deployment and optimization
SmallCell
Relay
DAS
CoMPHow should cellularsystems be designed?
Will gains be big or incremental; in capacity,coverage or energy?

mmWave Massive MIMO
ó mmWaves have large attenuation and path lossó For asymptotically large arrays with channel estimation,
no attenuation, fading, interference or noiseó mmWave antenna arrays are smalló Bottlenecks: channel estimation and system complexityó Requires a complete rethinking of system design

Wireless Sensor Networks
§ Energy (transmit and processing) is the driving constraint§ Data flows to centralized location (joint compression)§ Low per-node rates but tens to thousands of nodes§ Intelligence is in the network rather than in the devices
• Smart structures• Smart roadways• Search and rescue• Homeland security• Event detection• Battlefield surveillance

Wireless networks are everywhere, yet…
- Connectivity is fragmented- Capacity is limited (spectrum crunch and interference)- Roaming between networks is ad hoc

• To bring back new knowledge to my research and teaching
• Not to make $$$$
• To build state-of-the-art products grounded in deep theory, and see how they worked
Why I did a startup
• To build something (again)Silicon Valley 1986
20 Years
Lots of Theory
![Page 15: Department of Electrical Engineering Stanford Universitysites.nationalacademies.org/cs/groups/cstbsite/...Body-Area Networks Internet of Things ... ŠBottlenecks: channel estimation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052006/601ab55194e2517c8643cc8e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lessons Learnedó Academics have a great job
ó A chip with 30 years worth of Info./Comm theory costs $5.
óWireless systems grounded in deep theory work better
ó Info./Comm. Theory heavily influence wireless system design (mainly at the PHY & MAC layers)
ó Complexity drives cost, size, and energy consumption
óMany aspects of wireless systems poorly understood

Communications research has had a lot of impact on IT
ó Converting the analog world to bits (A/Ds, sampling, quantization)ó Compression and storage (voice, images, video, data)ó Data processing (“Big Data”)ó Wireless/wired networks (WiFi, Cellular, BT, Cable, DSL, satellite)ó The “Cloud”: Communications, storage, and data processing

SummaryóMuch research needed to realize the wireless vision
ó This vision will enable new applications that will change people’s lives worldwide
ó Research has a profound impact on technology development, and vice versa.
