… We don't know what the capacity of our wireless system is," he says. "And, even if we did
our current system is operating far under … "The first step… is defining a good notion of
capacity and determining it is what this project's initial thrust is," he says. "Once we know what
capacity is, my project and techniques will also produce algorithms and techniques that allow
a system to get close to it in performance, and then we can design our system with the full
knowledge of both capacity and techniques to approach it, leading to a much smarter design." …
Abstract
For electrical engineering professor Sriram Vishwanath, measuring a network's capacity is the first step to improving it.
