This brings up the key question: how should a new graduate student sort
through the morass of potential research topics and come up with a good
one? I’ll discuss two potential answers.
One approach is to have your advisor answer this question for you,
assuming that you have an advisor. In general, you can assume that your
advisor has a strong grasp of the current state of research in wireless
communications. This knowledge can help him/her determine a topic for
you that is 1) interesting, so you won’t be bored stiff for
approximately 5 years and 2) worthy of a Ph.D. dissertation, so you
will have made a fundamental contribution of some sort by the time you
graduate.
The second approach, which I highly recommend, is to take the
initiative. To start off, you should do a significant amount of
reading. Survey articles in journals such as the IEEE Communications
Magazine and the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine can be valuable
starting points for the interested yet relatively inexperienced grad
student.
