Abstract

This talk will provide an overview of some of my recent research activities in the area of beyond-5G communications. I will briefly discuss the following topics: cell-free massive MIMO communications, mmWave channel estimation, channel tracking in massive MIMO systems, grant-free random access for massive machine-type communications, intelligent reflecting surfaces, new waveforms for 5G and beyond, and the IISc 5G testbed. The presentation will focus on the key questions and provide answers to some of them. The talk will be accessible to most graduate students in EECS.
