Joseph Boccuzzi, Ph.D.
Dr. Boccuzzi is a Principal Scientist designing wireless communication systems. His responsibilities cover the mobile station (MS, UE) and base station (BTS, NodeB) with emphasis on EDGE, WCDMA, HSDPA/HSUPA & their evolution, as well as LTE (i.e. Turbo 3G) radio access technologies. He worked on the WCDMA evolution path such as supporting VoIP, MBMS, MIMO, Femto Cells, etc.
Developed multimode reconfigurable receiver architectures supporting spread spectrum (WCDMA, IS-95, CDMA2000, WLAN and GPS); worked on Adaptive Antenna Array (Smart Antenna) algorithms for WCDMA, TDMA and OFDMA systems. Also investigated SISO, SIMO, MISO and MIMO antenna configurations.
He has designed complete uplink and downlink digital communication system simulations for both Wireless and Wireline technologies including: Modems, Codecs, RF Impairments, Channel models, etc. These simulations supported both the link and network levels and involved mathematical analysis. The algorithms included: high speed cable modems, power line communications, satellite systems, Flex paging systems, CT-2, DECT, JDC, IS-136, GSM, DVB-H, WiMax, WLL, Bluetooth, etc.
An author of technical papers, prepared technology presentations worldwide and holds over 20 patents, domestic and international. He is the author of Signal Processing for Wireless Communications, published by McGraw Hill.
