The subject certainly passes , on several counts. Being an IEEE Fellow is enough to satisfy #C3. Very high GS citabilty results, several significant wards. Frequently mentioned in the news media as an expert on wireless communication. There are also examples of specific in-depth coverage, such as here http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2010/10/profs-bring-free-white-space-broadband-to-working-class-houston/. Regarding COI/copyvio issues, by looking at the article history and the article talk page, it is clear that last year somebody from the subject's department created this page, while being new to Wikipedia and not quite knowing what they were doing. So they just tried to copy-paste the material from the subject's bio profile page at the department, creating a copyvio issue. While that situation was frustrating, the editor in question has not edited since July 2015. If they do return and resume problematic editing, they should be given a hard slap first, and then a block. But hopefully that won't be necessary. The mistake here was a typical newbie mistake. The COI issue does remain, but since the subject is clearly notable, I think the article deserves to stay at the end
