Infotech Oulu Lecture Series:

-----------------------------------------------------
Lecturer: Dr. Mark C. Reed, Australian National University, Adj. Researcher UNSW, Canberra, Senior Lecturer

Date: 6 September, 2013
Time: 10:15-11:00
Room: TBA

Abstract

This talk will discuss some of the recent work being conducted by Dr. Reed's research team.  This includes recent results for small cell systems, including techniques for improving performance with uplink attenuation, stochastic geometry results for non-uniform femtocell deployments, and more.  We will show some results developed for practical implementations and the issues associated with power imbalance  between macro and small cell networks.  In addition the talk will discuss some of the on-going challenges with small cells, including radio management and backhaul issues.

Bio

Mark C. Reed received his B. Eng. (Honors) in Electronic  Engineering from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in  1990, and Ph.D. in Communication Engineering from the University of  South Australia, Australia in 2000.  He is an Associate Professor (Adj.)  at the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) at  the Australian National University (ANU) and a Snr. Lecturer at UNSW Canberra. In addition he is co-founder and CEO of InterfereX, which specialises in radio management solutions for small cells.  He has previously been a Principal Researcher and Project Leader at NICTA where  he led a research-inspired commercial project on femtocells.  This project was first to demonstrate a real-time hardware realization of uplink interference cancellation at radio frequencies for a 3G/WCDMA
femtocell modem.  Mark previously worked for Ascom Systec AG, Switzerland, where he developed a real-time world- first Satellite-UMTS modem demonstrator for the European Space Agency.  Mark's research interests include applications of iterative techniques to signal processing problems, fundamental limits of heterogeneous wireless networks, self organising network techniques, modem signal acquisition, and signal tracking techniques.
