Research activities and Teaching
Research interests:
Our Research is geared towards the development of the theoretical and algorithmic principles of next generation wireless mobile networks. Our research is interdisciplinary and centered around the following three topics:
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles:
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are an emerging technology with the potential to be used in industries and various sectors of human life to provide a wide range of applications and services. Such a widespread deployment of UAVs will require fundamental new tools and techniques to model, optimize and analyze the deployments of UAVs.
Fundamentals issues related to UAVs are:
Need for air-to-ground and air-to-air channel models since these channels differ from classical wireless terrestrial channels.
Need for analytical and optimization tools to understand how to optimally deploy and operate UAVs for communication.
Need for resource allocation in networks based on UAV-based communication.
Need for trajectory optimization techniques to reduce the energy consumption of UAVs.
2. Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X)
Our cities must find new ways to foster urban analytics, computing, and advanced wireless technologies to address the myriad of challenges in traffic safety, mobility, sustainability, and energy-efficiency. A number of trends in wireless technology are taking place, and notably the fifth generation (5G) wireless systems aiming at high reliability and low-latency communication. Within this topic, we are working on a diverse set of research problems, including:
Resource allocation: How to allocate resources for V2V and V2I communication, autonomously or RSU-assisted?
Dynamic Navigating maps: How to build and update navigation maps on the fly?
Ultra-reliable and low-latency communication: How to enable URLLC for V2X communication via a host of tools and techniques?
Network Slicing: How to dynamically slice resources across vehicular applications?
3. Machine Learning and AI over mobile networks:
Recently, AI has proven itself as the best solution to achieve high levels of automation within various kinds of networks. In this topic, we are investigating a set of research problems, including:
Optimizing both the management of networks and reduce their complexity.
Optimizing resource allocation and scheduling of mobiles networks.
Enhancing network prediction, and boosting network performance.
Overcoming other challenges, such as high computational processing, high energy consumption, and high latency.
