4G and 5G Mobile Communication
We had pioneering research in OFDM/OFDMA technology and continuing our LTE research efforts in channel estimation, resource allocation, single frequency reuse, multicast broadcasting schemes, small cells and milimeter-wave mobile broadband wireless. For more information please click here.
Intra Vehicular Wireless Sensor Networks
We are the first lab in Europe to work on intra-vehicular wireless sensor networks (Marie Curie Reintegration Grant). We are modeling intra-vehicular channel model based on measurements in the commercial vehicles and developing optimal rate-adaptive medium access control protocols satisfying strict reliability, delay and energy efficiency requirements of vehicle control systems.
