| Abstract: | Recent experience in a deployment of Flash OFDM in the Raleigh area by Nextel has shown that Flash OFDM offers the best technological solution for mobile wireless data. The transition from wireless voice to wireless data necessitates a reconsideration of both system networking design and the wireless channel. This talk will introduce some of the key ideas that underpin and differentiate the Flash OFDM system. |
| Biography: | Tom Richardson is Vice President and Chief Scientist at Flarion, where he is responsible for signal modulation and coding for Flarion's FLASH-OFDM® system. Dr. Richardson joined Flarion in June 2000. Prior to that, beginning in 1990, he was a member of the Mathematical Sciences Research Center in Bell Laboratories. His current main interest is iterative coding methods, especially Low-Density Parity-Check codes. He has published also in other areas of signal processing (multiple antennas, computer vision, and neural networks) and in mathematics, particularly in geometry. He was co-winner of the information theory society best paper award in 2001 and is currently an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Information theory. He is inventor on more than 20 patents granted or submitted. He received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1990 after leaving the University of Toronto with a Bachelor's and a Master's degree (1986), also in Engineering. |
