Abstract: The advancements in microwave power transfer (MPT) over past decades have enabled wireless power transfer over long distances. The latest breakthroughs in wireless communication, namely massive MIMO, small cells and millimeter-wave communication, make wireless networks suitable platforms for implementing MPT. This can lead to the elimination of the “last wires” connecting mobile devices to the grid for recharging, thereby tackling a long-standing ICT grand challenge. Furthermore, the seamless integration between MPT and wireless communication opens a new area called wirelessly powered communications (WPC) where many new research directions arise e.g., simultaneous information-and-power transfer, WPC network architectures, and techniques for safe and efficient WPC. In the first part of this talk, I will provide an introduction to WPC by describing the key features of WPC, shedding light on a set of frequently asked questions, the relevant research in my group.
Biography: Kaibin Huang received the B.Eng. (first-class hons.) and the M.Eng. from the National University of Singapore in 1998 and 2000, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) in 2008, all in electrical engineering. Since Jan. 2014, he has been an assistant professor in the Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) at The University of Hong Kong. He is an adjunct professor in the School of EEE at Yonsei University in S. Korea. He used to be a faculty member in the Dept. of Applied Mathematics (AMA) at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and the Dept. of EEE at Yonsei University. He had been a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology from Jun. 2008 to Feb. 2009 and an Associate Scientist at the Institute for Infocomm Research in Singapore from Nov. 1999 to Jul. 2004. His research interests focus on the analysis and design of wireless networks using stochastic geometry and multi-antenna techniques. He frequently serves on the technical program committees of major IEEE conferences in wireless communications. He chairs the Comm. Theory Symp. of IEEE GLOBECOM 2014 and the Adv. Topics in Wireless Comm. Symp. of IEEE/CIC ICCC 2014 and has been the technical co-chair for IEEE CTW 2013, track chairs for IEEE PIMRC 2015, IEE VTC Spring 2013, Asilomar 2011 and IEEE WCNC 2011. He is a guest editor for the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, an editor for the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Wireless Communications Letters and also IEEE/KICS Journal of Communication and Networks. He is an elected member of the SPCOM Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. Dr. Huang received the Outstanding Teaching Award from Yonsei, Motorola Partnerships in Research Grant, the University Continuing Fellowship from UT Austin, and a Best Paper Award from IEEE GLOBECOM 2006 and PolyU AMA in 2013.
