Title: Scaling wireless services<br>
<br>
Abstract:<br>
<br>
Wireless systems have been growing at an amazing pace, in terms of
physical layer capability, application demands, and infrastructure
and management cost. The latest boost in physical layer capability
comes from MIMO-OFDM technologies. However, our 802.11n based
channel measurements show the extent typical indoor MIMO-OFDM
channels are often less than ideal, which has implications for
building efficient wireless services over such channels. In this
talk, I will describe several projects that aim to improve the
efficiency of the physical layer transmissions, video delivery, and
a large scale WLAN respectively, all motivated by the same
observation of imperfect channel.<br>

Wenjun Hu received her PhD in Computer Science from the University
of Cambridge in 2008 and was then a postdoc at University of
Washington until 2010. Since then, she has been a researcher at
Microsoft Research Asia. Her work has mainly focused on building
wireless networks, including wireless video, MIMO, and network
coding in wireless mesh networks.<span class="HOEnZb"><font
