COLLOQUIUM Sanjib Sur University of Wisconsin- Madison Abstract: Many of the emerging IoT applications --- such as wireless virtual and augmented reality, autonomous vehicles, tactile internet --- demand multiple gigabits per second wireless throughput with sub-millisecond latency guarantees. Today’s wireless infrastructure --- such as LTE or Wi-Fi --- will unlikely handle such demand. Abundant opportunity, however, exists at millimeter-wave wireless, but with two key-barriers --- directional link alignment and link blockage --- that prevent the mass deployment of millimeter-wave in today’s network. In the first part of the talk, I will present my approach to addressing these two challenges by designing solutions that span across the wireless link, protocol, and system stack. Mass deployment of millimeter-wave devices also brings opportunity to enable new IoT applications, including designing new user-device interactions and ad-hoc imaging of objects hidden from the line-of-sight. In the second part of the talk, I will briefly go through my design to address the challenges of such ad-hoc applications. Finally, I will conclude this talk with a glimpse of my future works that are shaped by the emerging mass proliferation of cheap and ubiquitous wireless systems at millimeter-wave, sub-terahertz, and terahertz. Sanjib Sur is a Ph.D. candidate in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research interests are in millimeter-wave networks, wireless and mobile systems, and IoT connectivity and sensing systems. His research works have appeared on multiple flagship conferences for wireless and mobile systems. Sanjib has been recently nominated for the Wisconsin Distinguished Graduate Fellowship for an outstanding graduate research work. He received a Bachelor’s degree with the highest distinction in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, where he was awarded the President of India Gold Medal for outstanding academic achievement.
