Research Objectives

Our research group has had a long track record of impactful research in signal processing for communication and image/video systems. Currently, our research group focuses on signal processing for 5G/6G physical layer communication systems to increase data throughput and reliability. To achieve this, we develop mathematical models, fast algorithms, system simulations, and prototype implementations. We use simulations and prototypes to quantify communication performance vs. run-time implementation complexity tradeoffs to identify practical algorithms.

Current Projects

  • Massive Multi-Antenna Systems for 5G+ Millimeter Wave Communications: derived mixed analog/digital signal processing methods to improve communication performance in energy-efficient hybrid analog/digital beamforming architectures: (1) uplink direction - adaptive ADC quantization, antenna selection, user selection, and coordinated multipoint when the system has low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) (2) downlink direction - channel estimation and beam detection when the system has low-resolution and high-resolution data converters
  • Other ideas on the 6G cellular communications roadmap- adaptive algorithms and reinforcement learning for (1) reconfigurable intelligence surfaces, and (2) full duplex transmission.

Completed Projects

• Wireless Communication Systems
  • Interference-aware communication system design: modeled interference in heterogeneous wireless networks, and mitigated interference using physical and medium access control (MAC) layer methods, for sensor, Wi-Fi and cellular networks.
  • Multiuser OFDM resource allocation: derived linear complexity algorithms for allocation of user subcarrier frequencies and power to maximize continuous and discrete bit rates (esp. for Wimax and cellular systems) that are suitable for implementation in fixed-point arithmetic.

• Wired Communication Systems
  • Multicarrier equalization for ADSL: developed two approaches that are amenable for implementation in fixed-point arithmetic in ADSL transceivers: (1) equalizer training method realizable in software, and (2) dual-path equalizer structure in hardware, to increase achievable bit rates by 100% and by 120%, respectively, over conventional designs.
  • Two-transmitter two-receiver ADSL testbed: evaluated tradeoffs in communication performance vs. run-time complexity for algorithms for peak-to-average power reduction, echo cancellation, bit allocation, equalization, and crosstalk cancellation, and prototyped a fielded two-transmitter two-receiver system that doubles the bit rate vs. a single-transmitter single-receiver system.

Vita

Dr. Brian L. Evans is the Engineering Foundation Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. His earned his B.S.E.E.C.S. (1987) degree from the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and his M.S.E.E. (1988) and Ph.D.E.E. (1993) degrees from the Georgia Institute of Technology. From 1993 to 1996, he was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1996, he joined the faculty at UT Austin.

His current research and teaching interests are in the processing of signals to increase connection speeds and reliability in communication systems. More specifically, his research group develops signal processing and machine learning algorithms with implementation constraints in mind, and translates algorithms into design methods and prototypes. His current research effort is focused on multiantenna communication systems. His past research efforts have also included improving visual quality in image/video processing systems and improving simulation and synthesis in system-level design tools.

Prof. Evans was elevated to IEEE Fellow "for contributions to multicarrier communications and image display". In multicarrier communications, his group developed the first linear complexity algorithm that allocates resources to optimize bit rates in multiuser OFDM basestations (for cellular and WiMax) and is realizable in fixed-point hardware/software. His group also developed the first ADSL equalizer training method that maximizes a measure of bit rate and is realizable in real-time fixed-point software. In image display, his group's primary contribution is in the design, analysis, and quality assessment of image halftoning by error diffusion for real-time processing by printer pipelines.

Prof. Evans has published more than 280 refereed conference and journal papers, and graduated 32 PhD and 13 MS students. He has received six teaching awards and three top/best paper awards. He received a 1997 US National Science Foundation CAREER Award.

In departmental service, he led the 2000-02 ECE undergraduate curriculum reform that changed 60 of 90 courses, added electives, reduced the degree by five hours, and made graduation in four years realistic. From 2002-2017, he chaired the departmental curriculum committee to implement curriculum reforms, monitor student course surveys, assign instructors, and manage the $3M annual instructional budget. Since 2017, he has been coordinating teaching quality and student mentoring in the department.

As Chair of the University Faculty Council (Faculty Senate) 2019-20, he guided university-wide efforts in faculty affairs, student affairs, and resource allocation. Faculty Council plays a vital role in shared governance by evaluating, monitoring, and providing recommendations on undergraduate curriculums and degree programs, and by developing and updating university policies affecting faculty, staff, and students. Policies include those on faculty evaluation, workload, compensation, academic freedom, and grievances; student services, activities, admissions, and employment; and budgets, libraries, research, and IT.
