New Media in Internal Communications

Media-Based MIMO: A New Frontier in Wireless Communications

The idea of Media-based Modulation (MBM), introduced in [1], [2], is based on embedding information in the variations of the transmission media (channel state). This is in contrast to legacy wireless systems where data is embedded in a Radio Frequency (RF) source prior to the transmit antenna. MBM offers several advantages vs. legacy systems, including “additivity of information over multiple r...

New Compression Techniques for Robust and Scalable Media Communications

As international standards (the latest examples being MPEG-4 and JPEG 2000) continue to be developed and provide widely adopted solutions for media communications, some of the most important research problems in multimedia compression are becoming those where pure compression performance is not the main requirement. Instead, in this project we are focusing in a number of system-level issues tha...

Frontiers of Audiovisual Communications: New Convergences of Broadband Communications, Computing, and Rich Media

In the recent history of audiovisual communications, the transformative intersections of communications, computing, and content processing are now generally known. When the wireless modem became adequately broadband, when we figured out how to compress the speech signal without objectionable loss of quality, and when computing was fast enough to do real-time processing of the modem and speech f...

Electromagnetic waves a new tool for cellular communications

Distant cells can communicate with each other in a variety of ways. Electrical and chemical mechanisms are two known mechanisms for the establishment of intercellular connections. In recent years, research has shown that many cells influence each other's behavior by sending electromagnetic waves together. The existence of such connections can justify many unknown cellular behaviors. The article...
