San Diego, CA, November 21, 2006 -- A UC Irvine professor who is actively involved with Calit2 on the Irvine campus was at UCSD recently to offer a one-day course on wireless communications. Specifically, Hamid Jafarkhani focused on "Space-Time Coding" for wireless channels, the subject of his 2005 textbook "Space-Time Coding: Theory and Practice." The course was organized by Calit2's Information Theory and Applications (ITA) Center at UCSD.
Jafarkhani is one of the co-inventors of space-time block coding, which he developed as a researcher at AT&T Labs. His course for Calit2 at UCSD was well attended, and covered the fundamental principles of space-time coding over multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels. The course reviewed design criteria for space-time codes, and went on to an in-depth discussion of space-time trellis codes, as well as discussion of differential space-time modulation.
This course is now archived and available for on-demand viewing in four parts. To view the streaming videos, click on the image or video link below [Real player and broadband connection required].
