Green Radio Communication Networks

Ekram Hossain is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Manitoba, Canada, where his current research interests lie in the design, analysis and optimization of wireless/mobile communications networks, smart grid communications, cognitive and green radio systems. He has received several awards including the University of Manitoba Merit Award in 2010 (for Research and Scholarly Activities) and the 2011 IEEE Communications Society Fred Ellersick Prize Paper Award. Vijay K. Bhargava is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia, Canada. He has served on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Information Theory Society and the IEEE Communications Society and was President of the IEEE Information Theory Society. He was recently appointed as the Director of Journals for the IEEE Communications Society. Gerhard P. Fettweis is the Vodafone Chair Professor at Technische Universität Dresden, with 20 companies from around the world currently sponsoring his research on wireless transmission and chip design. An IEEE Fellow, he runs the world's largest cellular research test beds, coordinated the EASY-C project and has received numerous awards. He began his career at IBM Research and has since developed nine start-up companies.
