4G and 5G Mobile Communication

Picture

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.

Wireless Magnetic Sensor Networks


We are th
e first lab to deploy 
wireless magnetic sensor networks in Istanbul (Istanbul Municipality Project). We are currently collecting data and analyzing performance. We are replacing inductive loops and video sensors with a low cost wireless sensor network.

Specific research areas currently investigated within the lab include:

- 4G and 5G Mobile Wireless: LTE & Milimeter-wave Mobile Broadband
- Intra-Vehicular Wireless Sensor Networks
- M2M: Magnetic Wireless Sensor Networks
- Software Defined Networking
- Wireless Channel Modeling
- Frequency Reuse
- Inter-Vehicle Communication
