Abstract

Signal processing played an important role in improving the quality of communications over copper cables in earlier digital subscriber line (DSL) technologies. Even more powerful signal processing techniques are required to enable a gigabit per second data rate in the upcoming fast access to subscriber terminals (G.fast.) standard. This new standard is different from its predecessors in many respects. In particular, G.fast will use a significantly higher bandwidth. At such a high bandwidth, crosstalk among different lines in a binder will reach unprecedented levels, which are beyond the capabilities of most efficient techniques for interference mitigation.

Funding

degree in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi in 2013. His Ph.D. degree research was on crosstalk cancellation for vectored digital subscriber line (DSL) systems. From 2012 to 2015, he was with Ikanos Communications, Bangalore, India, working directly with the CTO Office, Red Bank, New Jersey, where he was involved in research and development for xDSL systems. Since 2015, he has been with the faculty of engineering at Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel, as a post-doctoral researcher working on signal processing for wireline and wireless communications. The Council for Higher Education, Israel, awarded him the Planning and Budgeting Commission Fellowship for Outstanding Post-Doctoral Researchers from China and India (2016–2018). His current research interests include signal processing for communications, communication protocols, multichannel communication, fifth-generation cellular networks, resource-limited sensor networks, and xDSL systems. He is a Member of the IEEE.
