    Research

    My Research Interests

    My research interests fall in the general area of wireless communication systems and networks. This includes: relay networks, cognitive radio networks, free space optical networks, visible light communications, interference, spread spectrum technique, OFDM technique, MIMO systems, channel estimation errors, antenna and multiuser diversity systems, modeling and analysis of wireless systems under practical assumptions.

    Currently, two areas of research are of our interests; namely, free space optical and visible light communications. In the area of free space optical networks, the data is sent between an optical transmitter and an optical receiver through LOS laser beams over few hundreds of meters. Free space optical cimmunications support very huge data rates using unlicensed spectrums and with no interference in contract to its RF counter parts. Several topics are currently being presented and studied in this area of research. This includes free space optical communications with relays, congitive free space optical communications, mixed RF/free space optical networks with interference, and secure free space optical communications.
