周俊廷 Chun-Ting Chou

周俊廷教授於1995年畢業於台灣大學電機工程學系，並於1997年取得台大電機研究所通信組之碩士學位，服役期滿後，於1999年赴密西根大學安娜堡分校攻讀博士學位。2004年取得博士學位後，隨即加入飛利浦北美研究實驗室的無線通信網路部門，擔任資深研究員。在此期間，周教授致力於無線通信網路的研究與設計，並積極參與諸多國際標準的制定與整合，其中WiMedia UWB 的媒體接取層協定，即出自周教授及其所屬實驗室，該協定已被包括英代爾在內之主要電腦及通訊設備製造商採用，並已成為第一個超寬頻的ISO 國際標準。2007年十一月，周教授決定返台，進入台灣大學電信所與電機系擔任教職。

周教授的研究興趣主要在無線通信網路的通訊協定設計，包括超寬頻個人無線網路、認知型可程式化無線通訊、合作式無線傳輸以及60GHz無線網路。周教授著眼於學術與實用並重的研究，其研究不但被包括 IEEE 802.11e、IEEE 802.15.5、WiMedia UWB及 Ecma TC32-TG20等國際標準所採用，並已發表於諸多著名國際期刊及會議。

Professor Chou has been working in the area of wireless local and personal area networks, with emphasis on QoS provisioning, medium access control (MAC) protocols and spectrum-agile communications.

During his Ph.D. study in University of Michigan, Professor Chou developed and established analytical models to determine optimal control parameters, including arbitration inter-frame space (AIFS) and contention window size in IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks. The results were published in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, one of the most prestigious journals in the networking research society, and are also included in the latest IEEE 802.11e Standard. He also established performance benchmark and designed new protocols for the next-generation cognitive wireless communications. He published three pioneering papers in this new area, including IEEE Globecom’04 and ’05, and IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications. His research work in QoS provisioning, admission control and resource allocation smooth, and fast handoff mechanism for Mobile IP networks were also published in various international conferences and journals, including IEEE INFOCOM’ 02, ‘04, IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing and IEEE/ACM Wireless Networks.

Professor Chou joined Philips Research North America as a senior member research staff at 2004 and has designed various medium access control (MAC) protocols for WiMedia Ultra Wide Band (UWB), IEEE 802.15.5 mesh network, and Ecma International TC32/TG20 wireless short-range transmission. He helped Philips Semiconductor to design both software and hardware architecture for its wireless USB chipset (based on the WiMedia UWB protocol) and developed various product-differentiating algorithms.
