6 Better Wireless Channel Estimation
Aditya Dhananjay and Jinyang Li (Courant)
Sundeep Rangan (Poly)
•  The wireless channel changes very fast
–  Over time (due to Doppler shift)
–  Over OFDM subcarriers (due to multipath)
•  Problem exacerbated in mmW due to:
–  High carrier frequency
–  Diverse PDP
•  Goal: better channel estimation with low
pilot overhead

Seating Chart"
21 Housekeeping, Rules for the 9th Floor and
Things to Remember"
-  Treat the NYU WIRELESS space like you would another’s
home:"
-  Food policy: Eat all food in the break room, throw out all trash in the garbage
cans in the break room.!
-  Refrigerator policy: Cleanout of the refrigerator at end of the day on last Friday
of every month. Despite this, do not leave food in there indefinitely!!
-  If you notice a mess or something that should not be there: Notify me
immediately so it can be addressed (garbage left out, roaches, rodents, etc.).!
-  White board policy: Erase the white board when you are done. The longer ink is
left, the more difficult it becomes to remove it. Also keep in mind what you are
writing – we have corporate groups looking to invest in our program coming by
on a regular basis.!
-  Security: Don’t hold the doors open for people you don’t know. Don’t prop open
any doors including offices, labs and the front and back NYU WIRELESS doors.
If you see something suspicious on the hallway, notify me, the NYU-Poly security
guard (between 9am and 5pm) or the 2 MetroTech security guard (after hours).!
