Research Interests and Activities

Research mainly concentrates on interference cancelation and signal separation for CDMA wireless systems using (adaptive) one-shot and multi-shot schemes. Also under consideration is the usage of higher order alphabets (QAM) versus the traditional BPSK/QPSK modulation.
