Prof. Georgios B. Giannakis, Univ. of Minnesota, USA.
Abstract
Wireless sensor networks deployed to perform surveillance and monitoring tasks have to operate under stringent power and bandwidth limitations. These motivate well joint compression, detection and estimation tasks that have to be reformulated and solved in a distributed fashion. This tutorial outlines recent advances in this exciting area of distributed signal processing using either networks where sensors report to a fusion center (star topology) or ad hoc sensor networks where detectors and estimators are formed via local exchange of information. Treatment will include detection-estimation of deterministic, random, stationary and dynamical processes based on analog-amplitude or quantized observations. Emphasis will be placed on communication links affected by fading and noise.
Speaker biography
G. B. Giannakis received his B.Sc. in 1981 from the Ntl. Tech. Univ. of Athens, Greece and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 1983 and 1986 from the Univ. of Southern California. Since 1999 he has been a professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota, where he now holds an Endowed ADC Chair in Wireless Telecommunications. His general interests span the areas of communications, networking, signal processing, estimation and detection theory -- subjects on which he has published more than 250 journal papers, 400 conference papers, two research monographs and two edited books. Current research focuses on wireless networks, complex-field and space-time coding, ultra-wideband and cognitive radios, cross-layer designs and wireless sensor networks. He is the (co-) recipient of six best paper awards from the IEEE Signal Processing (SP) and Communications Societies (1992, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004) and also received the SP Society's Technical Achievement Award in 2000 as well as the EURASIP Technical Achievement Award in 2005. He is an IEEE Fellow since 1997, a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE which he has served in various editorial and organizational posts.
