He has served as Associate Editor for Communications of the IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory (1987-88), Guest Editor of various Special Issues and has been on the organizing committees of many conferences and workshops. He was elected Fellow of the IEEE in 1995 for contributions to spread-spectrum systems and networks. He co-founded TrellisWare Technologies (www.trellisware.com) of San Diego, CA, in 2000, a company specializing in wireless networking products. The areas of his scientific interests are stochastic digital communication theory, spread-spectrum systems and related synchronization, digital mobile radio links and networks, detection-estimation-classification in uncertain environments and, more recently, flexible- and cognitive-radio concepts. He is an ISI Highly-Cited researcher and a Distinguished Adjunct Professor of King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (2011-).
