Sabharwal Awarded 2021 ACM SIGMOBILE Test-Of-Time Award

Dr. Ashutosh Sabharwal and his former student, Dr. Melissa Duarte, have received the 2021 ACM SIGMOBILE Test-of-Time award for their papers on full-duplex. The SIGMOBILE Test-of-Time awards recognize papers that have had a sustained and significant impact in the SIGMOBILE community over at least a decade. The award recognizes that a paper’s influence is often not fully apparent at the time of publication, and it can be best judged with the perspective of time. Their award’s citation is:

“Full-duplex has been a long-standing open problem in wireless networking — can we design wireless radios that transmit and receive at the same time and frequency without interference? These two papers demonstrated the feasibility of practical full-duplex systems, spawning an entirely new area for research exploration. In doing so, they have delivered strong impact on academia and influenced industry deployments of next-generation wireless systems.”
