DESCRIPTION:The design of broadband wireless communications presents consid
 erable challenges. The propagation conditions can be very hostile (e.g.\, 
 highly dispersive channels and/or deep fading or shadowing effects). This 
 is especially true for systems operating in mm-wave conditions\, where one
  must rely in LoS and/or reflected rays. Moreover\, these systems are expe
 cted to have power and spectral efficiencies\, together with high QoS requ
 irements. There are also implementation complexity constraints\, especiall
 y at the mobile terminals.\n\nPrefix-assisted block transmission technique
 s combined with frequency-domain detection are known to be suitable for hi
 gh rate transmission over severely time-dispersive channels. The most popu
 lar modulations based on this concept are OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Divis
 ion Multiplexing) and SC-FDE (Single-Carrier with Frequency-Domain Equaliz
 ation). However\, the severe propagation conditions in multiuser wireless 
 systems make it likely that a non-negligible fraction of the transmitted p
 ackets will be lost\, either due to deep fading/shadowing effects or due t
 o collisions in the MAC (Medium Access Control) phase.\n\nThe traditional 
 approach to cope with lost packets is to drop them and ask for its retrans
 mission. However\, even packets with a large number of bit errors have use
 ful information on the transmitted blocks that can be employed to improve 
 the detection performance. To take advantage of this\, we need to employ a
  cross-layer approach combining PHY\, MAC and LLC layer aspects to cope wi
 th lost packets. In this talk we show how we can design powerful cross-lay
 er network diversity techniques specially designed for broadband wireless 
 systems employing block transmission techniques combined with frequency do
 main detection.\n\nSpeaker(s): Rui Dinis\n\nRoom: EV003.309\, Concordia Un

 tions presents considerable challenges. The propagation conditions can be 
 very hostile (e.g.\, highly dispersive channels and/or deep fading or shad

 onditions\, where one must rely in LoS and/or reflected rays. Moreover\, t
 hese systems are expected to have power and spectral efficiencies\, togeth
 er with high QoS requirements. There are also implementation complexity co
 nstraints\, especially at the mobile terminals.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Prefix-assisted bl
 ock transmission techniques combined with frequency-domain detection are k
 nown to be suitable for high rate transmission over severely time-dispersi
