Wireless
The Wireless at Rice Center’s singular focus is advancing mobile communications—faster and better from both network and device points-of-view.
Current Research
While our goal is simply stated, improving upon existing highly advanced wireless networks requires rethinking wireless networks from the ground up and the top down. Our research methodology involves new architectures and protocols, complemented by information-theoretic analyses and targeted network experiments using our many testbed facilities.
