Dr. Michael Rice and ECEn graduate students Erik Perrins, Tom Nelson and Zhihong Ding presented several papers at the 2005 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM 2005) in St. Louis, MO. Zhihong Ding and Dr. Rice presented "Throughput Analysis of ARQ Protocols for Parallel Multichannel Communications." Erik Perrins and Dr. Rice presented "Simple Detectors for Shaped-Offset QPSK Using the PAM Decomposition" and "A Reduced-Complexity Approach to Iterative Detection of Coded MIL-STD SOQPSK" and together with Tom Nelson, they presented "Common Detectors for Shaped Offset QPSK (SOQPSK) and Feher-patented QPSK (FQPSK)."
