These next generation standardization activities and related technical discussions are getting more and more interesting because advanced communication theories are consistently proposed, studied, discussed, and finally adopted as one of major technologies in standardization activities; e.g., millimeter-wave wireless communications, massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems and precoding, device-to-device networking. This book introduces cutting-edge technological topics in future mobile cellular and wireless access standardization. With a solid understanding about the candidate technologies, readers can obtain a better understanding for future standardization.
About the Author: Dr. Joongheon Kim has been a systems engineer at Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, California, USA, since September 2013. He graduated from the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, California, USA, with one Ph.D. degree in Computer Science (Advisor: Dr. Andreas F. Molisch (Professor of Electrical Engineering)) and two M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (High Performance Computing and Simulation Track) under the support of USC Annenberg Graduate Fellowship, in 2014. He also graduated from Korea University, Seoul, Republic of Korea, with one M.S. and one B.S. degrees in Computer Science and Engineering, in 2006 and 2004. In industry, he was an intern at InterDigital, San Diego, California, USA, during the summer of 2012. Prior to joining USC, he was a research engineer at LG Electronics CTO Office, Seocho R&D Campus, Seoul, Republic of Korea, from 2006 to 2009, in embedded systems development (esp., audio CODEC and GUI implementation for portable navigation systems) and 60 GHz millimeter-wave multi-gigabit/s wireless standards (esp., WirelessHD Consortium and Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig)). He is a member of IEEE (2006 - Present). He has been a technical program committee (TPC) member for European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2015), IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC 2014-Fall), and IEEE MASS Workshop on Internet of Things Technology and Architectures (IoTech 2012).
