Talk by Dr. Ashutosh Gore on "WLAN Physical Layer" for 17th May 2022 at 4 PM.

Date : 17th May 2022

Time: 4 PM

Online talk

This talk gives an introduction to physical layer of wireless local area networks (WLAN PHY). It first covers OFDM, MIMO, channel models, evolution of 802.11 standards and PHY packet format. The main part of this talk mid-dives into OFDM packet detection, transmit beamforming and automatic gain control. We also briefly mention the applications of these techniques in 802.11be (7th generation WiFi).

A. Agrawal, A. Chauhan, M. K. Shetty, Girish M. P., M. D.Gupta, A. Gupta, “ECG-iCOVIDNet: Interpretable AI model to identify changes in the ECG signals of post-COVID subjects,” at Computers in Biology and Medicine,2022.

Studies showed that many COVID-19 survivors develop sub-clinical to clinical heart damage, even if subjects did not have underlying heart disease before COVID. Since Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a reliable technique for cardiovascular disease diagnosis, this study analyzes the 12-lead ECG recordings of healthy and post-COVID (COVID-recovered) subjects to ascertain ECG changes after suffering from COVID-19.

B. Fatimah, P. Aggarwal, P. Singh, A. Gupta, “A comparative study for predictive monitoring of COVID-19 pandemic” at Applied Soft Computing, 2022.

COVID-19 pandemic caused by novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) crippled the world economy and engendered irreparable damages to the lives and health of millions. To control the spread of the disease, it is important to make appropriate policy decisions at the right time. This can be facilitated by a robust mathematical model that can forecast the prevalence and incidence of COVID-19 with greater accuracy. This study presents an optimized ARIMA model to forecast COVID-19 cases.

A. Goel, A. Majumdar, “K-means Embedded Deep Transform Learning for Hyperspectral Band Selection” at IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters ( Early Access ), 2022.

In clustering based hyperspectral band selection techniques 2D images of each band are usually taken as input samples. Some form of feature extraction on these images is performed before they are input to the clustering algorithm. The clustering algorithm returns the cluster centroids; the bands closest to the centroids are selected as representative bands for each cluster.

A. Verma, A. V. Subramanyam, Z. Wang, S. Satoh,R. R. Shah, "Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Person Re-identification via Individual-preserving and Environmental-switching Cyclic Generation," in IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, 2022.

Unsupervised domain adaptation for person re-identification (Re-ID suffers severe domain discrepancies between source and target domains. To reduce the domain shift caused by the changes of context, camera style, or viewpoint, existing methods in this field fine-tune and adapt the Re-ID model with augmented samples, either through translating source samples to the target style or by assigning pseudo labels to the target.

We are elated to announce that our PhD students Aakanksha Tewari and Akanksha Sneh (supervised by Dr. Shobha Ram and Dr. Sumit J Darak) have won the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship (QIF) India, 2022.

Their innovation titled: Software/Hardware Prototype of IEEE 802.11ad/ay Based Joint Radar-Communication Transceiver was under the Advances in Communication Techniques and Theory domain.

A. Lord, S. J. Savory, M. Tornatore, A. Mitra, “Flexible Technologies to Increase Optical Network Capacity, ” has been accepted in Proceedings of IEEE Journal.

Increased global traffic puts tough requirements not just on fiber communications links, but on the entire network. This manifests itself in multiple ways including how to optimize wavelength routing around the network; how to maximize the benefits arising from fine-control DSP with increasingly accurate real-time monitoring; and how to best deploy Multiband or multiple fiber connectivity.

A. Singh, A. Chakraborty, V. A. Bohara, A. Srivastava, “On estimating the Location and the 3-D shape of an Object in an Indoor Environment Using Visible Light," has been accepted for publication in the IEEE Photonics Journal.

The recent interest in using visible light as a means of communication has opened up possibilities for using visible light for other applications as well, such as indoor positioning. Visible light offers higher bandwidth, immunity from electromagnetic radiation, and most importantly it can be seamlessly integrated into the existing lighting infrastructure. This paper proposes a visible light-based positioning model for estimating an object's three-dimensional (3-D) parameters such as height and radius in addition to location in an indoor environment.
