Ryerson Communications Lab (RCL)

We are located at ENG 460 of George Vari Engineering and Computing Center, 245 Church Street
Toronto, ON M5B 1Z2

Researchers in the RCL works on many interesting problems in the information and communication technologies. Mainly in signal processing for optical/wireless communications, physical and MAC layer issues, OFDM, UWB and RFID schemes, IEEE 802.11x, WiMax, LTE, 3G+ and 4G systems. We also focus on optical/wireless access networks (FTTx, PON, Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial), optical fiber based wireless (Fi-Wi) networks using Radio-over-Fiber (ROF) technology.
