Welcome to	Xiang He's	Homepage!
		Currently I am a PhD student in the Department of Electrical Engineering in Penn State University. My PhD advisor is Dr. Aylin Yener and I am a member of the Wireless Communication and Networking(WCAN) Group. My research interests include secrecy and authentication, information theory, coding theory, queuing theory, optimization techniques, distributed detection and estimation. I obtained my MS degree of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. During my master study, I worked on the design and high speed FPGA implementation of channel encoder/decoder and MIMO detectors.

Codes

1. prepare.pl: This perl script creates a folder from a latex file, including the referenced figures(eps/pstex_t), the bib file and the .tex file. If specified, it can also prepare the folder for arxiv submission. In this case, it will remove the bib file reference and instead embed the bbl file into the latex file, as required by arxiv.org. Finally, if desired, it also takes care of pstex_t files to eps files conversion using figtex2eps, as some editors are not familiar with pstex_t files generated from xfig.

Notes

1. Achievability Proof for Shannon's Coding Theorem for Discrete Memoryless Channel [Latex][PDF]: This proof is the same as the one in Dr. Cover's book, expect that I try to write every step just using chain rules and simple Markov chains.
