Selected Recent Work

Valuing Federal Spectrum

We develop a framework for valuing federal spectrum, with particular emphasis on opportunity costs, social benefits, and the policy choices involved in making spectrum available for commercial use.

Spectral Efficiency in LEO Satellite Constellations

We analyze how orbital geometry, interference, frequency reuse and system resources determine the downlink area spectral efficiency of LEO satellite constellations.

Selected Earlier Work

Power-Delay Tradeoffs in Wireless Communications

We characterize fundamental tradeoffs between transmission power and queueing delay for communication over fading channels.

Cross-Layer Design for Energy-Efficient Wireless Video Communications

We jointly optimize source coding and transmission power to reduce the energy required for wireless video communication subject to quality and delay constraints.

Distributed Interference Pricing for Wireless Networks

We develop distributed algorithms in which users exchange "interference prices" and adapt their transmission power to manage interference and improve network performance.

Combining Game Theory and Information Theory

We study the interaction between information-theoretic limits and strategic behavior when users sharing an interference channel act selfishly.
