Communications research includes satellite, spread spectrum, and digital communications systems.
Fast estimation, detection, and optimization algorithms and processing techniques for communications, radar, and VLSI design are studied. Research in networking also includes studies of processor communications and synchronization for parallel and distributed processing in computer and sensor network systems. Several aspects of communications networks and processing systems are thoroughly investigated, including system architectures, protocols, performance modeling and analysis, simulation studies, and analytical optimization. Investigations in information theory involve basic concepts and practices of channel and source coding. Significant multidisciplinary programs, including sensing and radio communication networks, exist.
