February 17th, 2015: Dr. Sherif Moussa, Assistant Professor of Engineering at Canadian University Dubai (CUD), has seen his cutting-edge research on wireless communication technologies published in the prestigious International Journal of Numerical Modelling: Electronic Networks, Devices and Fields.
Dr. Moussa’s paper, which is entitled ‘Rapid prototyping of MIMO-OFDM based on parity bit selected and permutation spreading’, proposes a brand new technique in coding that could significantly improve the reliability of wireless communication.
“The technique simplifies the way data is received and detected through wireless networks,” explained Dr. Moussa, “By making coding and decoding easier, it can improve the speed of a connection and make the link more robust. In practical terms, this means that users will be able to access data faster and with greater reliability.”
The technique is targeted at fifth generation wireless communication systems, and alongside this practical innovation, Dr. Moussa’s research also introduces a hardware design that could assist in reducing the power consumption of the proposed system.
He explained, “The hardware design aims to optimize the area and battery power of wireless devices by reducing the computational complexity of the decoding process.”
Dr. Moussa worked in collaboration with partners in the Canadian institutions of Moncton University, the University of Ottawa, and University of Quebec at Trois-Rivieres, as well as academic colleagues in Egypt.
The research paper went through a rigorous peer-review process before being accepted for the prestigious journal, which is distributed by global publisher John Wiley & Sons Inc. Early view of the paper is available in Wiley’s online library
