Research Interest

The focus of my research is to work on the key enabling technologies for next-generation wireless communications. I am currently interested in the following topics -

• Cooperative Communications and Cognitive Radio

• Intelligent reflecting surface for future wireless communication

• Physical layer security

• Next-generation multiple access techniques, especially NOMA

• Cyber-physical systems, IoT, and low-power networking

• Next-generation wireless networks such as 60 GHz mm-wave and VLC

Ph.D. Thesis

Title: Performance Analysis of Analog Network Coding based Cellular Multiuser Two-Way Relay Networks.

The Objective of the thesis is to evaluate and optimize the performance of two-way amplify-and-forward relay in the cellular context. With this, we have analyzed several performance measures such as outage probability, bit error rate, and ergodic sum-rate for various realistic scenarios over generalized fading channels. In addition, we have optimized the crucial design parameters such as, relay location and power allocation, for improving the overall performance of cellular multiuser ANC-based TWR systems. Further, we have evaluated secrecy outage performance of the considered system.

M.Tech Thesis

Title: Physical Layer Authentication for Mobile Terminals over MIMO Fading Wiretap Channels.

Objective of the thesis is to develop a scheme to authenticate the legitimate user in mobile environment. For this, GLRT hypothesis testing is used. The performance of the proposed methods is evaluated in a MIMO/OFDM scenario. MATLAB tool is used to develop this scheme.
