Prof. YOU Xiaohu was born in August 25, 1962. He received his Ph.D. degree from Southeast University, Nanjing, China, in Electrical Engineering in 1988. Since 1990, he has been working with National Mobile Communications Research Laboratory at Southeast University, where he is now the director and a Cheung Kong Scholarship Professor.

His research interests include mobile communication systems, signal processing and its applications. He has contributed over 50 IEEE journal papers and two books in the areas of signal processing, artificial neural networks and wireless communication systems. He was the recipient of China national first-class technical invention award in 2011.

Dr. YOU now is the Chairman of IEEE Nanjing Section. He was selected as IEEE Fellow due to his contributions to development of mobile communications in China. 

Award-winning achievement:

Capacity-approaching Transmission and Distributed Radio Network for Broadband Mobile Communications: A pioneering fundamental study on the capacity of distributed antenna network and on the analysis of cell edge performance is conducted by introducing the performance metrics and a closed-form analytical method. In addition, the advantages of the spectrum efficiency and power efficiency of distributed network were shown, which provide the theoretical basis for practical development of the distributed network of the 4G system. Capacity-achievable transmission research and its engineering practice have been carried out, which can find important applications in broadband mobile communications to combat the limitation of spectrum and power resources.
