We are a research group at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Missouri S&T, dedicated to contributing to the next generation of wireless systems. We create, develop, and design smart engineering technologies that optimize the available resources of the next generation of wireless systems. We aim to achieve our goal by developing theoretical optimization models combined with experimentation using state-of-art equipment available in our lab.
