Organizer: IEEE Toronto Section, IEEE Communications Society
Title: Adaptive Digital Communication Receivers
Speaker:
Professor Simon Haykin
University Professor
Director Neurocomputation for Signal Processing Group
Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering
McMaster University
Abstract:
I will begin the lecture by highlighting the major research areas making up my Adaptive Systems Laboratory: . Space-time wireless communication systems . Nonlinear dynamics for signal processing . Intellignet hearing instruments The major part of the lecture will be devoted to adaptive digital communication receivers, focussing on two particular structures: . Pipelined recurrent neural networks for the nonlinear prediction of a non-stationary stochastic process . Turbo-like receiver for multiple input-multiple output wireless communications.
