The conventional wisdom is that interference between users is a source of noise to be avoided at all costs. For instance, modern wireless systems operate by assigning users to dedicated time or frequency slots. However, interfering signals are not simply noise: they encode data sent by other users and often have considerable structure. Nazer has discovered a technique that can harness the inherent algebraic structure of interference; properly applied, it may eventually enable many users to simultaneously occupy the same channel while operating at extremely high data rates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough wireless connectivity is now available almost everywhere, we still only employ wireless communication\u00a0for the last hop in a network, owing in large part to the interference bottleneck,\u201d said Nazer. \u201cBy designing protocols\u00a0that can harness the structure of interference, we hope to create networks that can effortlessly scale to handle more users while maintaining high throughputs.\u201d<br \/>\nNazer\u2019s project also incorporates interactive presentations on cellular communication for high school students, tutorials, workshops and other outreach efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bobak Nazer (ECE, SE) has received the National Science Foundation\u2019s prestigious Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award in recognition of their outstanding research and teaching capabilities Nazer plans to use his CAREER award to explore a novel approach to wireless communication that could lead to substantially higher data rates.
