broadband wireline infrastructure to the wireless pedestrian and mobile
domains. Activities at the center are supported entirely by the
wireless communications industry, and representatives from

-2-

participating companies are heavily involved in all aspects of the
Center’s operations.
1988-1995: Columbia University
Professor of Electrical Engineering and Director of the Center for
Telecommunications Research, a National Science Foundation
Engineering Research Center.

teaching of basic and advanced courses in communication theory
and networks, original research, and supervision of graduate
students. Research interests included new systems architectures
and performance analysis for wireless personal communication
networks and high-speed all-optical networks, self-routing
broadband packet switching, performance management of
broadband multimedia networks, and high- speed applications for
telecommunications.
Responsibilities as CTR Director included overall technical and
administrative management, funding stabilization, budget
allocation, publicity and direction of a cross-disciplinary research
center with participation from 25 faculty members, 55 graduate
students, eight full-time research scientists and engineers, and six

projects involving (1) wireless access/personal communications;
(2) lightwave networks; (3) network traffic control and fault
management strategies for integrated telecommunications; (4)
multimedia telecommunications; and (5) digital image/digital TV.
These cross-disciplinary projects included fundamental and applied
research on new systems and concepts, analytical methodologies,
lightwave devices, VLSI, and telecommunications software. The
Center was supported by the National Science Foundation as part
of its Engineering Research Center Program and through an
Industrial Participants Program involving 27 companies
representative of telecommunication carrier, equipment vendor,
and user communities. The annual budget of the CTR was
approximately $5M. In addition to management of the research
program, CTR-related responsibilities included maintaining and
expanding the base of industrial participants, initiating

-3-

university/industrial collaborative research projects, encouraging
technology transfer for the purpose of timely commercial fruition,
and implementation of a cross-disciplinary educational program in

Organized and initiated a major jointly-defined university/industrial
collaborative research project involving CTR and nine of its
Industrial Participants. Known as ACORN, this project was targeted
toward the lightwave network of the 21st century. In addition to
ACORN project-specific funding, industrial support involved
committed manpower and device technologies. The ACORN project
produced two "firsts": the first laboratory implementation of an
optically-based self-routing ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)
network, and the first working gigabit/sec. ATM network.
Helped to organize two major university-industrial consortia in response
to announced Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA) programs
targeted at all-optical networks. The Optical Network Technology
Consortium participants included Columbia University, Bellcore, Hughes
Aircraft, and Northern Telecom (principal members), along with United
Technologies, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Rockwell.
ONTC research was focused on systems architectures, control
algorithms, and device technologies for a prototypical all-optical national
telecommunications infrastructure. ONTC funding in the amount of
$11.5M was secured for two project phases.
The on-going National Transparent Optical Network Consortium
(NTONC) includes University of California (San Diego), Columbia
University, Northern Telecom, Hughes Aircraft, Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratories, United Technologies, Rockwell, Pac Bel, and
Sprint. NTONC research involves deployment of a multi-wavelenth
wide area all-optical network spanning the San Francisco Bay area
and emulation of geographically wide area optical networks serving
very large user populations. Consortium funding in the amount of
$10.8M has been secured.

Managed an organization of 80 people, consisting of three
Department Heads, eight Technical Supervisors, 49 engineers and
scientists (all with PhDs or MS degrees), and 20 support personnel.
Responsible for a broad spectrum of forward-looking work involving
broadband data networking, design and application of digital signal
processors, broadband document storage and retrieval services,
optical switching and networking, and high resolution real-time
graphics.
The scope of work included establishment of fundamental
theoretical performance limits, the formulation of innovative
system concepts to approach these limits, and the prototype
implementation of key elements for the purpose of technical
feasibility demonstration.
1983 - 1987:

Department Head, Network Systems Research Department.
Managed an organization of nine research staff members (all PhDs)
with a supporting staff of four. Responsibilities included basic and
applied research on broadband multiuser networks using wire,
radio, electronics, and lightwave technologies for local and
metropolitan area application. Emphasis was placed on packet
communications for integrating voice, data, image, and video
services. Department performed much pioneering work in
telecommunication networking and published extensively.

1981 - 1983:

Supervisor, Data Theory Group. Responsible for basic theoretical
studies in the field of data communications, including modulation
and coding, adaptive filtering, and media access schemes for
channel sharing among bursty computer traffic sources.

1974 - 1981:

Member of Technical Staff, Satellite Systems Research Department.
Performed basic and applied research in the field of high capacity
digital satellite systems, including modulation and coding theory,
time division multiple access methods, and efficient frequency reuse techniques. Work focused on advanced concepts for multiple
scanning spot beam systems which combine the power advantage
of highly directive spot beam antennas, the capacity advantage of
frequency re-use among the spot beams, and the universal service
capability of an area coverage system. Also worked on innovative
approaches for sharing satellite resources to overcome rain fading

-5-

at frequencies about 10 Ghz. Collectively, these techniques defined
the direction for next generation satellite systems.
1968 - 1974:

Member of Technical Staff, SAFEGUARD Radar laboratory.
Responsible for radar system design and analysis, including high
power microwave transmitters and radar signal processing
algorithms. Also worked on waveguide breakdown phenomena at
high power levels and techniques to overcome the same, and on
the implementation of high power coherent burst waveforms.

Major Technical Contributions:
Networks for Wireless Access - Developed systems approaches for extending
bandwidth-upon-demand broadband service into the wireless cellular environment,
including packet-based media access strategies which insure high link-level
availability in a harsh multipath fading environment, and a novel "virtual tree"
approach to permit deployment of high capacity microcells/picocells while
avoiding the need for call processor involvement to handle the commensurate
surge in cell hand-off requests.
Broadband Communications Networks - Guided and contributed to pioneering work
on local and metropolitan area packet networks. Proposed a short-bus local area
network architecture which permits perfect capture media access with priority
contention to integrate diverse traffic types by avoiding the long propagation
delay associated with distributed networks. Contributed to the theory and
understanding of high-performance space-division packet switching. Proposed and
promoted an architecture for a nationwide all-optical telecommunications
infrastructure suitable for bandwidth-intensive multimedia applications. This
architecture, known as multihop, solves a major problem by tapping, for the first
time, the vast bandwidth potential of lightwave technology (tens of terahertz)
through network ports constrained in speed by electronic technology (several
gigabits/sec.). Developed and promoted an understanding of the potential of
passive, all-optical networks. Originated pioneering work on complexity
managment which exploits the enormous bandwidth potential of VLSI-based
packet switches and optical communication links to simplify management and
control software. Formulated theory of re-arrangeable optical networks using
wavelength agility for network optimization. Conceived novel packet
compression/expansion technique to further exploit optical spectrum for
telecommunications. Proposed Free Space Optical Mesh as a highly reliable, easily
deployed, inexpensive last-mile technology to deliver ultra-broadband services to

-6-

small, medium, and large businesses, residential subscribers. The FSO mesh
technology may also be applied for cellular/wireless data backhaul. Co-founded
AirFiber, Inc., to commercialize the FSO mesh.

High Capacity Digital Satellite Systems - Contributed a basic understanding of the
factors and fundamental limits governing throughput in multibeam frequency reuse systems, and proposed several innovative system architectures to approach
these limits. Proposed a multiple scanning spot beam system which dynamically
matches satellite resources to terrestrial traffic patterns, producing both a tenfold increase in system capacity and a ten-fold increase in link power margin.
Proved a basic theorem governing the non-conflicting assignability of terrestrial
traffic to multiple satellite transponders which has since found general applicability
to switching systems. Proposed a scheme for dynamically allocating a limited pool
of shared satellite resources among a large number of ground stations to relieve
local rain fade events and showed that this provides yet an additional ten-fold
increase in capacity. The above contributions appeared as major elements of
NASA's advanced technology satellite program.
Major Managerial Accomplishments:
Identified several emerging topics deserving of focused research efforts, including
Local Area Networks, Metropolitan Area Networks, Broadband Packet Switching,
Multiuser Lightwave Communication Networks, and Universal Network Access.
Organized, secured funding for, contributed to, and managed major research
initiatives on the above topics involving basic theoretical understanding,
innovative system concepts, feasibility demonstrations, and applications. Each of
these initiatives has, in general, produced several major technological innovations
(see also Publications and Patents).
Initiated general personnel practices encouraging research staff members to plan
and organize their research goals and work programs. These plans have had
substantial benefit with regard to work program directions, expected pace of
accomplishment, identification of emerging topics to pursue, and termination of
effort in mature fields no longer requiring major research coverage. Encouraged
ample flexibility to change directions in response to new ideas and opportunities.
Raised levels of expectations, regarding both management and subordinates,
resulting in enhanced productivity. Many colleagues and former subordinates
enjoy world-wide reputations in their fields. The quality of research

-7-

accomplishment has improved steadily, as has the ability to attract and retain topnotch research talent.
Successfully coupled state-of-the-art device technology with major system
architectural innovations to produce several major research breakthroughs.
Served for ten years on AT&T Bell Laboratories' Cooperative Research Fellowship
Program Committee. This program provides tuition, living stipend, and
mentoring for Ph.D. students who are members of minority groups.
