SUMMARY:Next Generation Wireless Networks: Research Challenges and Opportun
 ities
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Abhay Karandikar\nIndian Institute of Technology\nDepa
 rtment of Electrical Engineering\nPowai\nMumbai 400076\n\nAbstract: \nIn t
 his talk\, we begin with an overview of technology evolution towards 4G. W
 e also outline candidate technologies for 4G wireless standard. We identif
 y key research issues that need to be addressed to improve spectral effici
 ency in wireless networks for improved data rate and Quality of Service (Q
 oS). Specifically\, we describe one of the representative contributions th
 at we have made towards 4G wireless (IEEE 802.16m standard). One of the ch
 allenges in providing Quality of Service (QoS) is the time varying nature 
 of the wireless channel.  Scheduling algorithms that exploit the character
 istics of the channel to satisfy some QoS performance measure are referred
  to as Cross Layer algorithms.  In this talk\, we review some of the recen
 t approaches to opportunistic scheduling algorithms and present a new appr
 oach for on-line implementation of the algorithm.  Finally\, we identify s
 ome of the challenges to bridge the Digital Divide in India and the techno
 logical solutions that can potentially revolutionize the broadband penetra
 tion.\n\nBio: Abhay Karandikar obtained his M.Tech and Ph.D from IIT Kanpu
 r. He was with C-DAC for three years before joining IIT Bombay in 1997. He
  started an Open Source MPLS and Linux based MPLS emulator prjects and als
 o co-founded a company\, Eisodus Networks.  He is currently leading TTSL-I
 IT Bombay Center for Excellence in Telecom and is also the Head of IIT's C
 omputer Center. He made several contributions to IEEE 802.1 and 802.16m Wi
 MAX standards. Dr. Karandikar was a recipient of Dr Vikram Sarabhai Resear
 ch award\, Prof. S. V. Aiya Memorial Award and Prof. K. Srinivasan Awards.
