Connectivity
Research
Our research applies communication and networking theory, signal processing and statistical modelling in Internet of Things, 5G and beyond 5G systems, satellite communications, as well as areas related to communication, such as machine learning, blockchain and data analytics.
The application of research
- Principles for design and optimization of flexible communication systems that can adapt to future, not yet utilized, connectivity types
- Reliable communication for mission-critical use cases such as remote surgery or wireless industrial automation
- Realistic estimation of lifetime for battery-powered sensors, e.g. health sensors or water meters that are difficult to assess
- Support connectivity for operation and transactions in a smart energy grid
- Efficient communication of IoT devices with LEO satellites
Collaboration
The group’s research on new concepts and system design drives the fundamental research in the area of communication engineering and is often done in collaboration with companies.
