The Broadband Communications and Wireless Systems (BCWS) Centre, founded in 2000, focuses on advancing low-power, high-speed communication technologies. With 17 faculty members and over 70 graduate students, BCWS attracts approximately $2M in annual research funding through extensive collaboration with industry giants like Alcatel, IBM, and Intel. The centre engages in interdisciplinary research, including advanced error control coding, adaptive coding, MIMO systems, and network coding. Strong ties with IEEE and ACM enhance its contributions to communication algorithms and signal processing.
