My research interests include forward error correction coding schemes and multi-carrier transmission techniques for digital satellite communication systems. I have been working on ITU-R since 2000, and have contributed to make radio interface standard of satellite component in the IMT system. Now, I am actively working on soft joint iterative detection for coded MIMO scheme for wireless communication systems as well as rateless codes for highly asymmetric channels.
