Specifically, the higher-mmWave and THz bands, i.e., over 60 GHz, are investigated. Emerging communications over these new frequency bands with enormous bandwidth is a promising revolution for next-generation wireless systems.\u0026nbsp; First, the difference between the higher-mmWave and THz bands and their lower-frequency counterparts is clarified. Then, an array-of-subarray architecture is designed to capture mmWave and THz channels while respect the nature of circuit hardware. Furthermore, fundamentals and performance of the array-of-subarray system for single-user communications are studied. Last but not least, a distance-aware multi-carrier transmission strategy is developed for multi-user wideband communications. As part of the proposed work, the strategies for beam training and channel estimation will be studied. Also, the relay-assisted transmission will be investigated to improve the connectivity and robustness of the system.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Signal Transmission and Processing for Millimeter-wave and Terahertz Communications"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2016-07-27 17:29:17","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:18:29","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-08-03T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2016-08-03T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-08-03T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-08-03 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-08-03 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-08-03 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"},{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
