Dr.Sim Narasimha

The presentation will focus on the evolution of broadband wireless communication networks and highlight the progress made so far towards the universal deployment of such networks. The ubiquitous availability of affordable high speed wireless data connectivity has been made possible by the relentless progress in several key technology areas including the air interface, signal processing and silicon integrated circuits. Major technology challenges, such as limited spectrum allocation and reduced battery time, in deploying the next generation wireless networks that can deliver hundreds of Mbps data over a wide area, and potential solutions to overcome these challenges will also be discussed.

Biography: Madihally (Sim) Narasimha has more than twenty years of experience in the telecommunications and networking industries. He is currently a Senior Director of Technology at Qualcomm Inc., Santa Clara, CA, where he is involved in the design of next-generation broadband wireless technologies (WiMAX and LTE). Prior to joining Qualcomm, he was Vice President of Technology at Ample Communications, where he directed the development of Ethernet physical layer chips. Prior to that, he served in technology leadership roles at several Voice-over-IP (VoIP) startup companies including IP Unity, Realchip Communications, and Empowertel Networks. He also held senior management positions at Symmetricom and Granger Associates, where he was instrumental in bringing many DSP-based telecommunications products to the market.
His research interests include digital signal processing algorithms for wireless and baseband communication receivers, signal processing techniques to improve speech quality in Voice-Over-IP (VoIP) systems, and voice/video compression algorithms. He has authored one book, five patents, and over forty refereed journal and conference papers in these and related areas. He has also served as a guest editor for two special issues of the IEEE transactions on applications of digital signal processing.
Currently he also serves as a Consulting Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, Stanford, CA, where he developed a new academic program in the telecommunications area and conducts research in signal processing applications. He is also a Lecturer in Electrical Engineering at Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, CA, where he teaches speech coding and wireless communications courses.
Dr. Narasimha obtained his M.S. (EE) and Ph.D. (EE) degrees from Stanford University, Stanford, CA. He is a Fellow of the Institution of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
