My research focuses mainly on wireless communications, information theory and coding theory, and lately on the intersection of caching and advanced wireless communications, exploring a broad spectrum of aspects that include:
The elusive tradeoff between memory, performance, complexity and feedback:
We are interested in the elusive tradeoff between memory, performance, complexity and feedback, where roughly speaking
`memory’ = GBytes of storage
performance = achievable rates and reliability
complexity = flops (computational complexity) or implementation complexity
feedback = learn the network, and disseminate learned info around the network.
This meaningful tradeoff (memory, performance, complexity and feedback are intimately intertwined) stands to define future research and practice in communication networks. In deriving the fundamental properties of these intertwined relationship leads to fascinating links with different areas such as
