Machine-type Wireless Communications Group
The MTC Group comprises talented researchers dedicated to solving the most challenging problems in Machine-type wireless communication (MTC) -- massive MTC and critical MTC.
These technologies -- vital enablers of the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution -- impose new demands on latency and reliability that current solutions cannot meet.
Our group is committed to providing innovative research, elegant mathematical models, and algorithmic solutions to these challenges.
