This talk will discuss the various video-related use cases and opportunities in 5G and beyond, and will expand on the challenges in designing the future networks that can support high quality services for content-rich video applications. Efficient and cross-layer resource allocation/sharing will be elaborated as a means for satisfying the future demand for such services.
Dr. Mohammad Shikh-Bahaei has been engaged in research in the area of wireless communications and signal processing for twenty years both in academic and industrial organizations. He has worked for two start-up companies (1998-2000), and for National Semiconductor Corp. (NSC), CA, USA, (2000-2002), on the design of 3rd generation mobile handsets, for which he has been awarded three US patents as inventor and co- nventor, respectively. In 2002 he joined King’s College London (KCL) as Lecturer, and is now a Reader at the center for telecommunications research, Department of Informatics. He has since worked on a number of topics including signal processing for interference suppression, analysis and design of adaptive transmitters, resource allocation techniques in wireless communications, and modeling efficient adaptive cross-layer techniques in order to improve QoS of multimedia applications over wireless and IP networks. His recent research also encompasses applications in healthcare and in-band full duplex communication.
He has served as expert consultant to the high-tech companies. He is a senior member of IEEE and is the founder and organiser of the annual international conference ‘Wireless Advanced’ (formerly SPWC) hosted by King’s College London between 2003-2012. He has won the overall King’s College London ‘Excellence in Supervisory Award’ as well as the Faculty of Natural and Mathematical Sciences’ Excellence in Supervisory Award in 2014.
