Working field:

You will conduct research in the field of wireless communications and radio sensing technologies on one of the following topics:

  • development and evaluation of resilient wireless systems for
    o spectrum sensing, channel modeling, radio resource management, anti-jamming
    o machine learning and digital twinning
    o applications in industry and medicine
  • Transmission and signal processing techniques for joint communication and sensing, including waveform and frame design, parameter estimation algorithms, and applications of sensing such as localization.
  • Extreme MIMO: beamforming architectures and techniques for massive ultrawideband antenna arrays
  • Gearbox PHY concept:
    o flexible multiband transceiver architecture design and implementation on software defined radio (SDR)
    o design and optimization of multi-gear radio interface by selection of hardware architecture and transmission schemes
    o optimization of gearbox operation using AI/ML techniques for gear switching and dynamic reconfiguration, focusing on energy efficiency enhancement
  • Physical layer design for ultra-energy-efficient wireless spike-based sensor node communication, including optimized spike modulation, stochastic modeling of a spike-based signal processing chain, and task-based communication.
  • algorithm design for innovative quasi-optical terabit/sec wireless communications systems with energy-efficient oversampled 1-bit quantization: digital baseband design including the study of optimal modulation, channel estimation, and receiver synchronization algorithms
  • Field testing with our own 5G SA Campus Networks including ORAN
  • mobile network measurements with best-in-class equipment and process automation
  • Airborne RF measurements using 5G connected drones
  • communications and control co-design for wireless-networked control systems
  • reduction of latency requirements for cyber-physical systems using model-based prediction and estimation
  • learning for dynamical systems and control using data-driven/ML techniques
    All tasks are carried out in cooperation with partners from industry and science. The field of activity also includes the supervision of student work related to the research topics. The results of the work are to be published at international conferences and in distinguished journals.

Requirements:
