Presentation Abstract:
Broadband access communications have been continuously developed with many advances in response to increasing demands of multimedia services and applications. Broadband communications systems are generally power- and bandwidth- limited while the communications channels are characterized by their frequency- selective fading and the presence of noise and interference. Due to the dynamic nature of both transmission media and multimedia traffic, re-configurable and adaptive schemes are of particular interest. Furthermore, in most broadband communications systems, interference is the major performance limiting factor and interference mitigation can be more efficiently done by coordination of the transmission and resource allocation between users to minimize mutual interference in a collaborative manner. The talk will provide an overview of new developments/deployments in broadband access communications, and highlight technical issues in dynamic resource allocation and intelligent multidimensional signal processing and the evolution from competition, to cooperation and cognition in communications.
Speaker Bio:
Tho LeNgoc obtained his B.Eng. (with Distinction) in Electrical Engineering in 1976, his M.Eng. in Microprocessor Applications in 1978 from McGill University, Montreal, and his Ph.D. in Digital Communications 1983 from the University of Ottawa, Canada. During 1977-1982, he was with Spar Aerospace Limited as a Design Engineer and then a Senior Design Engineer, involved in the development and design of the microprocessor-based controller of Canadarm (of the Space Shuttle), and SCPC/FM, SCPC/PSK, TDMA satellite communications systems. During 1982-1985, he was an Engineering Manager of the Radio Group in the Department of Development Engineering of SRTelecom Inc., developed the new point-to-multipoint DA-TDMA/TDM Subscriber Radio System SR500. He was the System Architect of this first digital point-to-multipoint wireless TDMA system. During 1985-2000, he was a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Concordia University. Since 2000, he has been a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of McGill University. His research interest is in the area of broadband digital communications. Since 2004, he has been Scientific Director of the Center for Advanced Systems and Technologies in Communications (SYTACom), including 5 universities in Quebec. He is a Senior Member of the Ordre des Ingénieur du Quebec, a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC), and a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE). He is the recipient of the 2004 Canadian Award in Telecommunications Research, and recipient of the IEEE Canada Fessenden Award 2005. He holds a Canada Research Chair (Tier I) on Broadband Access Communications, and a Bell Canada/NSERC Industrial Research Chair on Performance & Resource Management In Broadband xDSL Access Networks. Since 1985, he has been a consultant, Technical Advisor, Chief Architect, Chief Scientist to several companies in communications.
