I am a postdoctorate fellow of Dr. Tarokh. He, Seshadri and Calderbank invented the space-time codes in 1996 to be exact, which can be checked from the submission date of his original paper. Your information that BLAST motivated him to do STC is wrong. STC was done at the same time as BLAST (check your dates). Also, I did not claim that he invented cognitive radios--all I said is that he wrote the first paper that dealt with the information theory of these channels. You can ask Mitola (who coined the term cognitive radio) himself if you want to verify this.

Fuzzywuzzy

Ummm. I haven't, anywhere that I remember, claimed that BLAST led Tarokh to do anything. It's also not 'my' information with the implication that I'm deciding this for myself. I'm well aware that STC and BLAST appeared at about the same time. I hadn't noticed the 1996 submission date for the STTC paper before, though, hence my mistaken mention in earlier version of another article that "later" Tarokh et al came up with STC. This has already been fixed. The original version of your article claimed that he pioneered cognitive radio without the qualification you now mention, which is fine. I've no desire to ask people about things, since WP:NOR clearly prohibits such. I don't think we need redlinks for PhD students. -Splash^talk 16:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fixed it Splash

ok. Splash--I fixed it.

Great. However, I took that sentence out along with its reference, since IEEEXplore says that it hasn't been published yet. I found a related conference paper, but the common standard on Wikipedia is a published journal paper (see WP:V and WP:RS). When and if it is published and when and if it turns out to be a pioneering paper by general research community agreement, it can of course go back in. Take care not to overstate the case. Tarokh is an amazing guy, and your boss, but keep the encyclopedia article strictly neutral and don't let it get ahead of itself. -Splash^talk 22:08, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Kindly please delete me from here. I do not deserve to be included here. This is not right.

Sorry guys--Thanks for writing about me. I deleted your writings about me from this encyclopedia. I do not deserve to be here. Keep a space in encyclopedia only for great minds--such as Claude Shannon himself

Thanks and please do not revert

Regards
