High Level Summary of Research Results Accomplishments:
• My results can show failure of Ralf Koetter (TU Munchen), Michelle Effros (CalTech), and Muriel
Medard (MIT) theory of separation or what they call it theory of network equivalence, this can be
shown in many regimes via one result i have using basic analysis. By this, i can provide a new look
into network capacity or a new representation for network information flow, noisy pipes with holes
instead to represent leakages or absorption. (few related results - mainly the multiuser immse - are
online but the one directly related is not online).
• My result (in WoWMoM16) paper introduces a new class of problems, it also shows or underlies
that RLNC invention by (MIT) is not optimal for achieving network capacity. The preceding matrix is
deterministic not random.
• I have a theorem (see multiuser immse online) that generalized Guo Donging (Northeastern U.),
Shlomo Shamai (Technion), Sergio Verdu (Princeton) theorem and that extends or generalize the
mercury/waterfilling power allocation for Antonia Tulino (Bell Labs), Angel Lozano (UPF and
formerly Stanford), Sergio Verdu (Princeton) into a new generic scheme (see MAC Gaussian channels
and Generalized K-User I-MMSE), I will call it Oil/mercury/waterfilling.
• My generalized multi-user IMMSE theorem can affect many future research directions and works or
introduce new formulas for BER given that I provide the interference in closed form(s). Many future
designs for different design criteria can be obtained accordongly. It can affect even other
applications beyond communications systems.
• My proposed piggybacking codes generalize something called superposition codes known in the
state of the art since years, I come up with new kind of codes which are bandwidth efficient, energy
efficient, relax the synchronization constraint in users access, and that certainly can achieve capacity
under precisely defined set of rules on detection and order of estimation for users, even with
practical modulation schemes (BPSK, QPSK, QAM, etc) which departs in distribution from theoretical
optimality (i.e. Gaussian ones).
• My model and transmission schemes over time variant fading channels with network coding are the
first novel in world scale.
• Most importantly, my adaptive coded scheme for time variant channels shifts the paradigm of the
network coding problem known to be done using an intermediate node, into a network coding
problem with a single node, thus establishing user demand in a single shot transmission and/or
reducing radically the requirement for feedback and re-transmissions, etc etc. And the proposal is
very tractable mathematically thus its practical and not computationally demanding.
• My proposal of Network Coded Cashing at a Hand-off (i. e. on the edge) scenario is on my PhD thesis
since 2012/2013.
• My proposal of two way channel estimation for timely precoding or power allocation designs is the
first since 2014 and it can make radical change and massive reduction on the resources required for
training or feedback in any system, most importantly when the number of antennas are huge, e.g.
like in massive MIMO.
• I have a novel empirical form of the capacity of optical multiple access com. channels modeled as
MAC Poisson channels. A set of new rules for average to maximum power allocation is provided also.
• I have a novel closed form expression of the data rate of BPSK and QPSK that I did via imagination
where I proposed a novel mathematical inference method via the geometry of the constellation.
This result matches perfectly with a precise derivation of this data rate that I derive in another work.
• Beyond those solid works, I have few interesting works that address Massive MIMO with D2D,
extending the coverage by this etc etc, how to use Full Duplex and D2D for PHY Security providing
distance and power limits, Control Engineering works to which i introduce novel adaptive controller
of shape memory alloy non-linear plant.
More of my works which are mentioned on researchgate but not uploaded online or my ready models
that yet need the work of students/postdocs under me are also novel in contribution. They span 5G
RRM, inf. theory, net coding for wireless and underwater accoustic coms, as well as Industrial
Engineering.
