    主讲人简介：
    Victor C. M. Leung received the B.A.Sc. (Hons.) degree in electrical engineering from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 1977, and was awarded the APEBC Gold Medal as the head of the graduating class in the Faculty of Applied Science. He attended graduate school at UBC on a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council Postgraduate Scholarship and completed the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in 1981.
    From 1981 to 1987, Dr. Leung was a Senior Member of Technical Staff and satellite system specialist at MPR Teltech Ltd., Canada. In 1988, he was a Lecturer in the Department of Electronics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He returned to UBC as a faculty member in 1989, and currently holds the positions of Professor and TELUS Mobility Research Chair in Advanced Telecommunications Engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Dr. Leung has co-authored bbin电子 than 900 technical papers in international journals and conference proceedings, 31 book chapters, and co-edited 11 book titles. Several of his papers had been selected for best paper awards. His research interests are in the areas wireless networks and mobile systems.
    Dr. Leung is a registered Professional Engineer in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. He is a Fellow of IEEE, the Royal Society of Canada, the Engineering Institute of Canada, and the Canadian Academy of Engineering. He was a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Communications Society. He is a member of the editorial boards of the IEEE Wireless Communications Letters, IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Series on Green Communications and Networking, IEEE Access, Computer Communications, and several other journals, and has previously served on the editorial boards of the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications – Wireless Communications Series, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, IEEE Transactions on Computers, and Journal of Communications and Networks.

    系列讲座内容摘要：
    Wireless networking technologies have been evolving quickly into something that is indispensable to the everyday life of most people. This lecture series will chronicle where wireless technologies come from and where they are heading, towards the fifth generation (5G) wireless networks. We shall discuss some basic principles of wireless networks that are equally applicable to the first generation wireless networks and the emerging 5G networks. We shall describe the key features and operation principals of 1G-4G wireless networks, and highlight how these networks have evolved over the years to cater to the changing needs and increasing demands of users. We shall focus on the current generation wireless networks that are available in the market today. We shall conclude by reviewing the key challenges that will be addressed by the emerging 5G networks, and the important technologies being developed to address these challenges.
