Adaptive Turbo Receivers for Mobile Data Communications. Next generation mobile networks will be required to offer high data-rate high mobility communications, in addition to current voice services. This project will determine the bounds of achievable performance of such networks by developing and analysing new optimal and near optimal adaptive receivers. In particular we will extend a revolutionary new technique called turbo processing, to achieve joint equalization and decoding with unknown ....Adaptive Turbo Receivers for Mobile Data Communications. Next generation mobile networks will be required to offer high data-rate high mobility communications, in addition to current voice services. This project will determine the bounds of achievable performance of such networks by developing and analysing new optimal and near optimal adaptive receivers. In particular we will extend a revolutionary new technique called turbo processing, to achieve joint equalization and decoding with unknown rapidly time varying channels. The overall aim is to dramatically improve mobility and throughput of wireless data communication systems.Read moreRead less
Adaptive Transmitters in Wireless Communication Networks. The mobile Internet requires at least an order of magnitude
lager data rate to be delivered to the mobile user rather
then from the mobile user. This high level of capacity asymmetry is a

Constant Envelope and Coded Modulation for Terrestrial and Satellite Radio. Modems for portable radio terminals must take advantage of state-of-the-art digital communications in order to stay commercially competitive. In particular they need to utilize less bandwidth and power for a fixed data rate. The approach here is to employ a parallel configuration of highly efficient error control codes, together with bandwidth efficient continuous phase modulation (CPM). The theoretical performance of su ....Constant Envelope and Coded Modulation for Terrestrial and Satellite Radio. Modems for portable radio terminals must take advantage of state-of-the-art digital communications in order to stay commercially competitive. In particular they need to utilize less bandwidth and power for a fixed data rate. The approach here is to employ a parallel configuration of highly efficient error control codes, together with bandwidth efficient continuous phase modulation (CPM). The theoretical performance of such a system is to be investigated using a novel information-theoretic technique, and the system will be optimised in terms of coding scheme and CPM complexity.Read moreRead less
