We are announcing one PhD position at Aalborg University, Denmark.
Job description
The past two decades gave rise to an explosive growth of wireless
systems that offer high data rates and low delays for connections made
human-to-machine (H2M), such as download or streaming, or connections
human-to-human (H2H), such as video conferencing. The new wireless
research frontier is seen in the machine-to-machine (M2M)
communication, which sets a qualitatively different wireless evolution
track. Predictions say that by 2020 there will be 50 billion connected
wireless devices, spanning a wide application range: smart grid, smart
metering, control/monitoring of homes and industry, e-health,
surveillance, traffic control, etc. The current wireless/cellular
networks are neither designed to simultaneously tackle such a large
number of devices nor to satisfy the reliability requirements of the
M2M connections.
This PhD project is a part of a large project on M2M communications,
granted within the program Sapere Aude by the Danish Council for
Independent Research. The PhD student will work with a team of senior
researchers on two tracks related to the M2M communication patterns:
analyzing the fundamental limits of the communication systems and
designing wireless networking protocols at the physical/MAC/link
layer. The key performance objectives are scalability (dealing with a
high number of devices) and dependability (ensuring at least very low
rate under practically any conditions).
