a major goal of our research program is to encourage and support new and far-reaching technologies

Research Increasingly, industry relies on universities for new discoveries that result in the next "killer applications and technologies." Reinforced by industry affiliations, more than $12.3 million in research grants, and other support, Rice continues to be a leader in international forward-thinking research and education.  Wireless Goes Open-Access
Designing the next generation's high performance wireless network
relies on the seamless convergence of multiple research communities:
hardware designers, computer architects, communication engineers, and
network protocol researchers. A team of researchers led by Ashutosh
Sabharwal, Research Director for Center for Multimedia Communication,
in collaboration with Xilinx Incorporated's Chief DSP Scientist Chris
Dick, are addressing the challenges by building a wireless open-access
research platform (WARP) that can
operate 100s of Mb/s. The WARP infrastructure will allow a community
of users to collaborate effectively by using specialized programming
tools and support packages and as an open-access repository, that
contains building blocks for a wide range of wireless systems.Xilinx and CMC have been collaborating for 4 years now, which includes a fellowship and generous donations of tools and hardware to CMC's projects. |
