Mission

      A major mission of our laboratory in JAIST is to reformulate the technological bases of wireless communications, and reconstruct it in a scientific way; obviously, wireless communication techniques/technologies are built on the basis of Information Theory, and therefore our research direction is to include as much the new results and findings of Information Theory in to wireless communications research as possible. In fact, a lot of progress has been made recently in Information Theory, such as discovery of a new class of codes, including Turbo and LPPC codes that can be decoded using belief propagation techniques as well as new findings in network information theory. A major goal of the research work conducted by our research group in Europe has been to apply the new results in Information Theory to wireless communications research; our group has made a lot of accomplishments with this goal definition. A research target of our research group in JAIST shall be to further extend what our group in Europe has done in the last 5 years, and also to apply the results to a variety of applications. I would like to lead our research group in JAIST so that we can create new wireless communication system concepts that are independent of technological inheritance from, but significantly outperform conventional systems in terms of efficiency and flexibility. Furthermore, I also would like to lead our research group in JAIST so that it can verify the superiority of our results via various practical approaches, such as multi-dimensional channel sounding measurement data-based simulations.
