Congratulations to four of our faculty members, Prof Koh Soo Ngee, A/P Guan Yong Liang, A/P Teh Kah Chan and Ast/P Ting See Ho. They have recently won over $1 m of research funding from Temasek Laboratories @ NTU.
The projects funded are:
Scrambler and Encoder Design - Koh Soo Ngee
The objectives of the project are to treat scrambler and encoder as a single building block in the wireless communication chain to achieve performance gain. The outcome of this research work will lead to the development of efficient and high throughput wireless digital communication system.
Dirty-paper Coding for Giga-bps Wireless Communication - Guan Yong Liang
The objective of this project is to investigate the use of various precoding techniques (linear, non-linear, error correcting etc.) to enable very-high-rate closed-loop communication over broadband wireless channels with long multipath delay spread. Point-to-point link will first be considered. The need for cyclic or zero prefix, the necessity of multi-antenna processing etc. will be examined.
Rate compatible punctured Turbo code – Guan Yong Liang
The objective of this project is to develop optimal (in BER performance) Rate Compatible Punctured Turbo Codes subjected to latency constraints (in terms of the number of decoding iterations, hybrid-ARQ retransmissions, code length or other practical limitations) for wireless communications applications. Extension to rate-compatible punctured LDPC code will be a future option.
BER Performance Enhancement for HF Waveforms - Teh Kah Chan
This project would explore the use of iterative or joint equalization and decoding techniques to improve the receiver’s BER performance of common HF military waveforms.
Graphical Iterative Blind Wireless Receiver – Ting See Ho
The objective of this project is to develop and analyze graphical iterative blind receiver algorithms for broadband multiple antenna systems to increase the robustness and throughput of wireless communication systems. The algorithms can of course be simplified to accommodate narrowband, single antenna systems. The proposed algorithms would also be implemented in hardware test-bed for practical measurements and proof-of-concept demonstrations.

NTU and National Instruments (NI) jointly launched the NTU-NI Wireless Research Programme on 10 March 2010
The partnership was sealed with the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement by Prof Kam Chan Hin, Chair-EEE and Mr Victor Mieres, Vice President of Sales (Asia), NI. Under the agreement, NI will provide $2.07 million worth of equipment that will be installed at the Positioning and Wireless Technology Centre (PWTC), a centre under NTU’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE). The NTU-NI Wireless Research Programme aims to develop future wireless technologies which are cheaper, faster, more reliable and more pervasive by relaying radio signals and scanning for available ‘holes’ in airwaves without interfering with the incumbent users. The research programme is led by Assistant Professor Ting See Ho, PWTC’s Programme Director for wireless network research.
NI is headquartered in Austin, Texas. It has more than 5,000 employees and direct operations in over 40 countries.
