In particular, 2 PhD openings are defined on the following themes:
1. 5G for Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) for Smart Industry Applications
Mission-critical applications (e.g. autonomous and remotely controlled robots) require ultra-reliable and low-latency communications in often extremely challenging environments. Technological and network management solutions (access control, scheduling, device-to-device communications, link adaptation and edge computing) need to be designed.
Background: telecommunications, electrical / computer engineering, queueing theory / stochastic processes
2. 5G resilience through network programmability
To enable autonomous, self-healing 5G networks by leveraging current advances in network programmability and artificial intelligence.
Background: network programmability (incl. software-defined networking, programmable data-planes, and network functions virtualization) and algorithmics (incl. AI)
Supervisors: Fernando Kuipers and Koen Langendoen; Embedded Software group
