Rajarshi Sanyal has successfully defended his PhD thesis titled " Smart Multiple Access Topology Employing Intelligent Physical Layer for Addressing the Mobile Node" today November 19, 2014.

Abstract

The factors that will drive the ontogenesis of next generation mobile networks namely are the evolution of the mobile devices and ever incremental demand for data traffic triggered by the proliferation of smart phones, dongles and machine to machine devices. Apprehending an exponential growth in numbers of the mobile users, the cell size of the mobile network will shrivel. Eventually, there will be an upsurge of signalling messages interchanged between the device and the network. Attempt should be made to reduce the interaction with the network and to simplify the mobility and location management related processes. In this thesis, we set out a new multiple access scheme and define a new architecture of a mobile network to abridge the intricate mobility and location management processes as well as the addressing principle to render more operational efficiency and cater to the needs of the data hungry applications that we envisage for the next generation devices and networks. Wireless communication based on colour signals is another form of 'physical layer network addressing' which has been proposed in this thesis. The implementation scenarios in scope are Wireless Local Loop (WLL) communications and HD voice transcoding.
