Research areas
The ICI group’s research focus is on core topics on wireless communications, information theory, signal processing and MAC / network slicing, emerging imaging and modelling.
Current research topics are pertinent to IoT verticals (with emphasis on V2X and Smart factories) and lie primarily on the following domains:
Wireless communications, B5G and 6G / PHY aspects
resource allocation and optimization, low energy (green AI, energy harvesting), low latency (short packet comms, finite blocklength, effective capacity and delay QoS), localization for mmWave and subTHz, waveform design, ML for communications;
Coding and information theory
rate-adaptable codes for IoT, short blocklength code design, graph codes (e.g. LDPC), polar codes, lattice codes, interplay between information theory and game theory;
Networking slicing and caching, including
slicing, coding in Named Data Networks, layer 2 scheduling, energy efficient protocols, coexistence of heterogeneous services;
Security for wireless communications including
physical layer security (wiretap coding, covert communications, secret key generation), jamming and active attacks at RAN, cross-layer anomaly detection, physical unclonable functions, privacy, post-quantum cryptography (code and lattice based).
Imaging and modelling
recent research concerns Tomography and Emerging Imaging: new concepts, associated inverse problems and artificial intelligence (AI)-based approaches.
