� Planning to submit a proposal on Virtual MIMO communication to the FET Challenge –

The potential of Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology to drastically improve the spectral efficiency of wireless communication systems is well understood. MIMO is a part of, or has been proposed for several standards, and is expected to play a large part in the communication systems of the future. Virtual Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (V-MIMO) technology is capable of addressing the spatial correlation and complexity issues inherent in MIMO systems by distributing the antennas used for MIMO communication among a cluster of User Equipments (UEs) in the neighborhood. A V-MIMO enabled device would be capable of providing higher capacity gains than practically achievable on spatially constrained MIMO enabled devices. Our project proposal is for the design and implementation of a V-MIMO enabled wireless communication system. In the V-MIMO concept we propose to implement, a UE that wishes to communicate with a BS first finds other UEs in the vicinity that would be willing to communicate its data. For example, in the uplink, if the UE wishes to transmit data to the BS, it shares the data with these neighbouring UEs. Once the sharing of data has been done, the UEs transmit the data in one slot, as if they were multiple antennas on a single device engaging in MIMO transmission. Similar operations occur on the downlink. We aim to build a V-MIMO system around an existing wireless communication standard like WiMAX that supports MIMO, preferably with only software and RF additions. In particular, an inter-UE link would be built for the sharing of data between UEs. The developed package would ideally be independent of the underlying standard.

The institution undertakes research in various fields of natural and social sciences. It provides training to several students. It promotes the study and dissemination of knowledge of Statistics, to develop statistical theory and methods.


The Bangalore Centre of the Indian Statistical Institute was envisaged by Prof.P.C.Mahalanobis during 1960s, even when the city was emerging as a centre of science. It is a tribute to his foresight that the Institute is now well-established in one of the most vibrant scientific communities in Asia. With the Statistical Quality Control unit functioning in Bangalore from 1956, and Documentation Research and training Centre from 1962, Professor Mahalanobis thought of starting a centre of ISI around the mid-sixties. The presence of several national institutes of higher learning, the salubrious climate and the growing metropolitan culture must have prompted him to consider this possibility. In 1966, Govt. of Karnataka granted ISI 30 acres of forest land full of eucalyptus trees, next to the upcoming Bangalore University on Mysore Road, at a token price. However, Professor Mahalanobis did not live long enough to see the realization of his dream. Due to the difficult times that ISI went through after professor's death in 1972, the project of establishing Bangalore was temporarily shelved. It was left to Professor Kallianpur, the Director of ISI during 1976-78, to revive the idea, make concrete proposals to the Government of India and get grants for the development of the land already in possession of the Institute and the construction of an Academic Block with space for a library and offices. In the meantime, a building was rented on Church Street, in the heart of the city, and started the activities of the Bangalore Centre in September 1978. The Statistics and Mathematics Unit (SMU) was established. The Statistical Quality Control (SQC) Unit and Documentation Research and Training Centre (DRTC), which were functioning from other rented buildings at that time, came to constitute the new Centre. The Economic Analysis Unit (EAU) was established. With the completion of the construction of the Administrative Block, the various units moved to the new campus in May 1985. However, it was only in September 1996, the Bangalore Centre was formally declared as a Centre of ISI. With the increasing faculty strength, computer and library facilities the Bangalore Centre has by now became an institution well-known for its academic activities in Mathematics and Statistics, Statistical Quality Control and Operations Research, Library and Information Science, and Quantitative Economics.

_____________________________________________________________________________ Areas of activity and competencies:

The main areas of research are Astronomy and Astrophysics, Soft Condensed Matter, Theoretical Physics and Light and Matter Physics. Some of the main areas of research in astronomy and astrophysics include pulsar astronomy, supernova remnants, and surveys at low frequencies. Theoretical Physics Group conducts research in general relativity, gravitational waves, quantum gravity, soft condensed matter, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, biological physics, optics, quantum mechanics and the geometric phase. Description of the research centre:

The Raman Research Institute was founded by Nobel laureate Sir C.V. Raman in 1948 with funds from private sources. The main activity of the institute was basic research in selected areas of physics which were of particular interest to Prof. Raman. The institute owes its origin to action of government of Mysore in gifting to the Indian Academy of Sciences a plot of land in Bangalore in December 1934. In the year 1956, Prof. Raman made an irrevocable gift to the Indian Academy of Sciences, of a range of variable and rigid properties for the use and the benefit of the Raman Research Institute. After Prof. Raman's death in November, 1970, The Indian Academy of Sciences created in July 1971 a public charitable educational trust by the name Raman Research Institute Trust (RRI Trust). The Academy transferred to the trust the lands, buildings, deposits, securities, bank deposits, moneys, laboratories, instruments and other movable and immovable properties held by it for the purpose of RRI. One of the main objectives of the RRI Trust is principally to maintain, conduct and sustain the Raman Research Institute. RRI is a premier research institute in India conducting basic research and Ph.D. programmes in several areas of physics. The activities of the Optics group are concentrated in the areas of Laser Cooling and Trapping, Ultrafast Processes, and light in Random Media, with well-equipped laboratories for experiments in these fields. Recently work has been initiated in the field of Quantum Information Theory. Some of the main areas of research at the time were pulsar astronomy, supernova remnants, and surveys at low frequencies. The research programme covers a broad spectrum of activities ranging from the synthesis of new liquid crystalline materials to display electronics. Discoveries of the columnar phase formed by disc-like molecules and pressure induced mesomorphism are two of the early significant contributions made by the liquid crystal group. Theoretical Physics Group conducts research in general relativity, gravitational waves, quantum gravity, soft condensed matter, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, biological physics, optics, quantum mechanics and the geometric phase. The institute was reorganized in 1972 and started receiving funds from the Department of Science and Technology of the Government of India. The institute is administered by a Governing Council.

Name of the research centre: The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI)

Address: Darbari Seth Block, IHC Complex, Lodhi Road, New Delhi – 110 003, India

Website: www.teriin.org

Contact details: Tel. (+91 11) 2468 2100 and 41504900, Fax (+91 11) 2468 2144 and 2468 2145 _____________________________________________________________________________ Areas of activity and competencies:

All the activities in TERI move from formulating local and national level strategies to suggesting global solutions to critical energy and environment-related issues. A dynamic and flexible organization with a global vision and a local focus, TERI was established. While in the initial period the focus was mainly on documentation and information dissemination activities, research activities in the fields of energy, environment and sustainable development were initiated towards the end of 1982. The genesis of these activities lay in TERI’s firm belief that efficient utilization of energy, sustainable use of natural resources, and large–scale adoption of renewable energy technologies and reduction of all forms of waste would move the process of development towards the goal of sustainability. Research is carried out in the following areas - Energy-Environment Policy, Energy-Environment Technology Development, Environmental and Industrial Biotechnology, Biotechnology and Bioresources, Regulatory Studies and Governance, Resources and Global Security, Social Transformation, Information Technology and services, Sustainable Development Outreach, Technology Dissemination & Enterprise Development, Water Resources Climate Change, Industrial Energy Efficiency, and Decentralized Energy Solutions. Description of the research centre:

TERI was formally established in 1974 with the purpose of tackling and dealing with the immense and acute problems that mankind is likely to be faced with in the years ahead-

o on account of the gradual depletion of the earth’s finite energy resources which are largely non-renewable and

o on account of the existing methods of their use which are polluting Over the years the Institute has developed a wider interpretation of this core purpose and its application. Consequently, TERI has created an environment that is enabling, dynamic and inspiring for the development of solutions to global problems in the fields of energy, environment and current patterns of development, which are largely unsustainable. The Institute has grown substantially over the years, particularly, since it launched its own research activities and established a base in New Delhi, its registered headquarters. The central element of TERI’s philosophy has been its reliance on entrepreneurial skills to create benefits for society through the development and dissemination of intellectual property. The strength of the Institute lies in not only identifying and articulating intellectual challenges straddling a number of disciplines of knowledge but also in mounting research, training and demonstration projects leading to development of specific problem-based advanced technologies that help carry benefits to society at large. The Institute’s growth has been evolutionary, driven by a vision of the future and rooted in challenges looming today, based on an approach that looks beyond the present and across the globe. The Institute established the TERI University in 1998. Initially set-up as the TERI School of Advanced Studies, it received the status of a deemed university in 1999.



Page 138

The University is a unique institution of higher learning exclusively for programmes leading to PhD and Masters level degrees. Its uniqueness lies in the wealth of research carried out within TERI as well as by its faculty and students making it a genuinely research based University. There are nine research divisions within TERI – Policy Analysis Division, Energy–Environment Technology Division, Environmental and Industrial Biotechnology Division, Biotechnology and Management of Bioresources Division, Regulatory Studies and Governance Division, Action Programmes Division, Information Technology and Services Division, Sustainable Development Outreach Division, Technology Transfer Division.
