1 Hiba S. Abdallah Tripoli, Lebanon Tel: +961 (3) Nationality: Lebanese Gender: Female Marital Status: Married Education PhD in Communications and Electronics Engineering, Beirut Arab University January Dissertation Title: Optimized MIMO Transceiver Scheme Supervisors: Prof. Onsy Abdel Alim (Alexandria University and Beirut Arab University) Prof. Sobhi Abou Chahine (Beirut Arab University) Brief Synopsis of Research: The upcoming growth in demand for wireless multi-media services requires development of high data-rate communications over wireless channels. Various approaches have been investigated to improve the performance of the physical layer of a communication system. One promising approach is to utilize channel-adaptive technique; the system is adapted to the varying channel and interference conditions so that the BER is maintained below the target value. In order to ensure this for all types of channel and interference conditions, the system may change the following: power, modulation order, coding rate, spreading factor, etc. Link adaptation can also be used in conjunction with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) to improve the system error performance and data-rate. An optimum Layer-controlled Multiple-input multiple-output Transceiver Scheme (LMTS) is presented. This scheme possesses better performance than V-BLAST for (3bps/Hz) spectral efficiency. The improvement in db is 5dB at a target bit error rate= M.E in Communications and Electronics Engineering, Beirut Arab University Thesis Title: Digital Modulation Techniques in Fading Channels Supervisors: Prof. Said El-Noubi ( Alexandria University and Beirut Arab University)

2 Prof. Soubhi Abou Chahine ( Beirut Arab University) Brief Synopsis of Research: The bit error rate (BER) performance of GMSK in Nakagami fading channels is investigated. Simulation model using MATLAB software for generating Nakagami variables is described. Numerical simulation results are presented for the BER performance of GMSK (coherent and non coherent) and MSK (coherent and non coherent) in Nakagami fading channels with and without diversity. B.
