Industry Experience

Summer Research Intern, Nokia Networks, Arlington Heights, IL.    Jun. 2014---Sep. 2014
Project: LTE and WiFi coexistence in unlicensed spectrum.
Supervisors: Dr. Rapeepat Ratasuk and Dr. Amitava Ghosh
• Developed a WiFi simulator and investigated the coexistence between LTE in unlicensed spectrum (LTE-U) and WiFi.
• Established a coexistence model and theoretically analyzed the downlink throughput of LTE-U and WiFi systems.
• Proposed and designed a coexistence-aware channel selection algorithm for LTE-U.
 
Summer Research Intern, Huawei Technologies , Rolling Meadows, IL.    Jun. 2013---Sep. 2013
Project: WiFi integration with LTE cellular networks in data offloading.
Supervisors: Dr. Lukasz Krzymien, Dr. Jialing Liu and Dr. Weimin Xiao
• Established a theoretical model and analyzed the uplink capacity of WiFi network.
• Refined the WiFi simulator and did extenseive simulations to validate the theoretical model.
