 clude a variety of advanced physical layer algorithms to provide high data
  rates and increased efficiency for emerging Smart City and Internet of Th
 ings devices. In this talk\, I will provide updates on our recent work in 
 this area. Wireless algorithms provide different challenges for real-time 
 performance based on the tradeoffs between computation\, communication\, I
 /O bottlenecks and area\, time\, and power complexity. Large scale or Mass
 ive MIMO systems can provide many benefits for both uplink detection and d
 ownlink beamforming as the number of base station antennas increase. Simil
 arly for error protection\, channel coding\, such as LDPC\, can support hi
 gh data rates in many channel conditions. At the radio frequency level\, a
 vailable spectrum limitations lead to digital pre-distortion (DPD) to impr
 ove power amplifier efficiency and transmission range while reducing out o
 f band interference. These physical layer algorithms impose complex system
  organization challenges in the interconnection of many RF transceivers wi
 th multiple memory and computation units with various data rates within th
 e system. Parallel numerical methods can be applied to tradeoff computatio
 nal complexity with minimal effect on error rate performance. In this talk
 \, we will focus on design tools for high level synthesis (HLS) to capture
  and express parallelism in wireless communication algorithms. HLS can be 
 applied to FPGA and ASIC synthesis\, however\, there exist tradeoffs in th
 e area required with flexibility and reuse of designs. This also includes 
 the mapping to GPU and multicore systems for high-speed simulation and pot
 ential virtual radio access networks. There is current interest in the sel
 ective use of neural networks and machine learning in communication system
 s. This talk will include a discussion of computation testbeds and our 3DM
 L project for Data\, Design and Deployed Validation of machine learning fo
 r wireless applications. The Rice WARP and Argos prototype massive MIMO ra
 dio testbeds enable over-the-air evaluation of these physical layer algori
 thms and architectures. The talk will conclude with an update on the Natio
 nal Science Foundation Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR) col
 laboration between universities and industry and the Utah-Rice POWDER-RENE
 W testbed.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Prof. Christoph Studer\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof.

 for beyond 5G towards 6G include a variety of advanced physical layer algo
 rithms to provide high data rates and increased efficiency for emerging Sm
 art City and Internet of Things devices. In this talk\, I will provide upd
 ates on our recent work in this area. Wireless algorithms provide differen
 t challenges for real-time performance based on the tradeoffs between comp
 utation\, communication\, I/O bottlenecks and area\, time\, and power comp
 lexity. Large scale or Massive MIMO systems can provide many benefits for 
 both uplink detection and downlink beamforming as the number of base stati
 on antennas increase. Similarly for error protection\, channel coding\, su
 ch as LDPC\, can support high data rates in many channel conditions. At th
 e radio frequency level\, available spectrum limitations lead to digital p
 re-distortion (DPD) to improve power amplifier efficiency and transmission
  range while reducing out of band interference. These physical layer algor
 ithms impose complex system organization challenges in the interconnection
  of many RF transceivers with multiple memory and computation units with v
 arious data rates within the system. Parallel numerical methods can be app
 lied to tradeoff computational complexity with minimal effect on error rat
 e performance. In this talk\, we will focus on design tools for high level
  synthesis (HLS) to capture and express parallelism in wireless communicat
 ion algorithms. HLS can be applied to FPGA and ASIC synthesis\, however\, 
 there exist tradeoffs in the area required with flexibility and reuse of d
 esigns. This also includes the mapping to GPU and multicore systems for hi
 gh-speed simulation and potential virtual radio access networks. There is 
 current interest in the selective use of neural networks and machine learn
 ing in communication systems. This talk will include a discussion of compu
 tation testbeds and our 3DML project for Data\, Design and Deployed Valida
 tion of machine learning for wireless applications. The Rice WARP and Argo
 s prototype massive MIMO radio testbeds enable over-the-air evaluation of 
 these physical layer algorithms and architectures. The talk will conclude 
 with an update on the National Science Foundation Platforms for Advanced W
