The Modern Story of Wireless - A Personal Perspective
Abstract - Major strides have been made in the field of wireless communications over the last century. In this work, I will present my personal take (and invite the audience to participate) on the key technical contributions that have impacted the practice of modern wireless communications over the last five decades. I am fortunate to have worked in this field since my graduation and and will discuss my journey as well.
