Efficient Spectrum Usage

The growing number of mobile devices in operation threatens a coming spectrum crisis. Advances are needed to ensure reliable communications and enable the high-throughput applications of the future. The research team is led by David Love, the Nick Trbovich Professor of electrical and computer engineering. The effort dovetails with a recent national focus on the problem.

Preeminent team members are working on problems ranging from hardware experiments to applications. The research aims to help reduce interference in radio communications and allow high-priority radios for the military and disaster-relief to operate with minimal disruption and loss of life. Researchers are developing advanced models and mathematical theory to better analyze and understand radio transmissions.
