In addition, Vincent is also the key contributor of 4 IEEE standard contributions (IEEE 802.22 WRAN / Cognitive Radio) which are accepted into the IEEE 802.22 specification. He has received three best paper awards from IEEE ICC 2008, IEEE ChinaCOM 2008 and IEEE CICC 2007 and is a Fellow of IEEE, Fellow of HKIE, Changjiang Chair Professor and the Croucher Senior Research Fellow. He is currently an Area Editor of IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, an Area Editor of IEEE Signal Processing Letters, a guest editor of IEEE Journal on Selected Areas on Communications (JSAC) – Special Issue on Limited Feedback, a guest editor of IEEE Special Topics on Signal Processing, IEEE System Journal, a book-series editor of the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) book series for John Wiley and Sons as well as an editor of the EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking.

Prof. Victor C.M. Leung

IEEE Fellow

University of British Columbia, Canada

Bio:  Prof. Victor C.M. Leung's research interests are in the area of telecommunications and computer communications networking. The scope of the research includes design, evaluation, and analysis of network architectures, protocols, and network management, control, and internetworking strategies for reliable, efficient, and cost effective communications. The convergence of wireless and broadband communications has led to the integration of heterogeneous wireless and wireline networking technologies, often into the same device, to enable ubiquitous multimedia communications among people and machines regardless of locations and mobility. The thrust of the research is to contribute to the development of this emerging global network, with current focuses on energy efficient service provisioning over 5G wireless mobile broadband networks and beyond. The issues addressed include mainly: scheduling and resource management in networks to provide quality of service guarantees, design of network architectures and protocols for high performance and energy-efficient broadband communications, development of protocols and mechanisms for security and privacy in wireless networks, and development of protocols and algorithms for application-specific wireless networking. Most projects involve novel designs and performance evaluation by modeling and analysis using analytical, numerical, and simulation methods. While optimization techniques are widely used in the research, increasing model-free machine-learning based approaches are contemplated to facilitate practical implementations.
