Wireless Foundations is a communications research center dedicated to providing the theory and algorithms for tomorrow's wireless systems. The center is comprised of 6 core faculty members, 23 graduate students, and 3 postdocs in the EECS Department at UC Berkeley whose interests include information theory, communications, signal processing, and coding theory.

We are located in 264 Cory Hall in The Eugene and Joan C. Wong Center for Communications Research, a newly renovated space that facilitates discussion and interaction between graduate students and faculty. Our facility's renovation was partially funded by a very generous grant from Qualcomm Inc.

Current Reseach

For a broad overview of the research at Wireless Foundations, take a look at our posters on Topics in Information Theory, Frontiers in Coding Theory, The 3Rs of Spectrum Management, and Wireless Communication. We also have a comprehensive list of ongoing projects and a collection of student poster abstracts from BEARS 2008.
