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:

  1. 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.
