DESCRIPTION:Prof. Heinrich Meyr\, RWTH Aachen and visiting professor at EP
 FL\,  invited by Giovanni De Micheli\nAbstract : This talk is concerned wi
 th the algorithm and hardware for advanced wireless communication systems 
 emphasizing their close dependency. \nIn earlier days the communication en
 gineer traded energy vs. bandwidth to achieve a desired performance. With 
 the tremendous progress of semiconductor technology it has become possible
  to implement ultra complex signal processing algorithm. We first systemat
 ically derive digital receiver structures by solving a ML optimization pro
 blem and discuss their communication performance. We discuss in detail the
  implementation of the decoder and the MIMO detector as these two componen
 ts\, together with the FFT\, consume the lion share of area and energy on 
 a chip. \nWe finish this talk by conjecturing that the future architecture
  of chips for wireless communications will be implemented as heterogeneous
  many core systems on chip and by speculating on future avenues of researc
 h. \n\n\nBio : Dr. Meyr received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from ETH Zurich\, Swi
 tzerland. He spent over 12 years in various research and management positi
 ons in industry before accepting a professorship in Electrical Engineering
  at Aachen University of Technology (RWTH Aachen) where he founded the Ins
 titute for Integrated Signal Processing Systems. In 2007 he has assumed th
 e rank of emeritus. He continues to work as a key investigator in the UMIC
  research cluster (www.umic-rwth.aachen.de) and teaches courses in the doc
 toral program. \n\nDuring the last thirty years\, Dr. Meyr has worked exte
 nsively in the areas of communication theory\, digital signal processing a
 nd CAD tools for system-level design. He has published numerous IEEE paper
 s and holds many patents. He is a Life -Fellow of the IEEE and has receive
 d three IEEE best paper awards.  In 2000\, Dr. Meyr was the recipient of t
 he prestigious Vodafone prize for his outstanding contribution in the area
  of wireless communications.\n\nDr .Meyr has a dual career as entrepreneur
 . He was a co-founder of CADIS GmbH (acquired in 1993 by Synopsys)\, a com
 pany which commercialized the tool suite COSSAP. He has cofounded AXIS whi
 ch has been acquired by ARM in 2004. In 2001\, he has co-founded LISATek I
 nc.\, a company with breakthrough technology to design application specifi
 c processors. The company merged with CoWare in February 2003 and was acqu
 ired by Synopsys in spring 2010. From 2003 until 2010 Dr.Meyr held the pos
 ition of Chief Scientific Officer of CoWare.  He has also served on the bo
 ard of large international companies.
