About Me
Dr. Hao Yin is currently a Wireless System Engineer at Meta Meta Reality Labs. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Washington in 2023 under the supervision of Prof. Sumit Roy. Before this, he received his Bachelor's degree (2015-2019) from Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Dr. Yin works on system performance analysis and optimization for wearable hardware and MMAI applications. His research focuses on scheduling and resource allocation algorithms in wireless communication, especially for the next generation of 5G and Wi-Fi systems. He also works on applying machine learning algorithms to complex wireless systems to build more intelligent wireless systems in the future.

Projects
Next-Generation Wi-Fi Networks With the imminent IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) amendment, future Wi-Fi 7 aims to offer low latency and ultra-reliability in license-exempt spectrum bands. The new physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layer enhancements, such as multi-link operation (MLO) and multi-AP cooperation, provide more opportunities for Wi-Fi networks to meet often conflicting QoE metrics. Our projects focus on smart scheduling and optimization for the next-generation Wi-Fi networks.
Papers: 6 GHz, Channel Access, Wi-Fi 7 Scheduling
Resource Allocation and Scheduling for 5G Networks Diverse mission-critical applications require Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) services, such as industrial automation, intelligent transportation, gaming, and Virtual/Augmented Reality (VR/AR). Different types of wireless technology have coexisted and provided URLLC services under various scenarios. Our projects study the requirements of the URLLC traffic in 5G networks and propose optimization algorithms for the scheduling and resource allocation problem.
Papers: Joint Scheduling, Multi-hop, Channel Prediction
Vehicle to Everything (V2X) Communication Vehicle-to-everything, or V2X, is an all-encompassing term for a vehicle’s connected communications. The overall idea is that a vehicle is able, or will be able to, use its onboard communication tools to deliver real-time traffic information, preemptively react to changing road conditions, recognize road signs and warnings, and more. In these projects, we mainly focus on the scheduling and resource allocation in V2X communication based on the latest standards.
