Title: "Wireless Communication Design for Mobile Systems"

by

Mr. Zhice YANG


Abstract:

In recent years, there has been a rapid growth of mobile devices such as 
smart phones and wearables. As the major approach of exchanging 
information with the outside world, wireless communication plays an 
essential role for these mobile systems. Although we have already used 
several wireless communication designs for years, problem exists when the 
mobile system is used in scenarios demanding for higher network 
performance and more application-specific features. In this proposal, we 
first investigate solutions to improve efficiency problems in current 
in-band designs. Specifically, we designed a TDMA-like MAC to improve the 
WLAN performance in scenarios with stringent QoS requirement and a compact 
full duplex radio to increase the spectrum efficiency for mobile device. 
Second, we investigate out-band communication designs to provide mobile 
system with better localization ability. Specifically, we designed an 
acoustic communication method to exchange information for easy location 
calibration and a visible light communication method to reduce the 
processing overhead in mobile visible light positioning systems.
