The group’s mission is to focus on long-term research on wireless communications, networking, signal processing and information theory, to maintain national and international activities in the creation and dissemination of knowledge, to provide an outstanding education in electrical engineering, and to serve both the public and private sectors through the collective experience and expertise of its members.
Our short-term research activities are now focused on wireless architectures targetting the requirements of 5G networks. The group’s members are or have been recently involved and leading projects TERESA (Hybrid TERrEstrial/Satellite Air Interface for 5G and Beyond), ELISA (Enabling technologies for licensend and unlicensed shared access communications), AM3DIO (Adaptive multicarrier multiantenna multiuser networks based on distributed inference and optimisation), COSMOS (Cross-layer optimisation schemes in MIMO/OFDMA systems), MARIMBA (Cross-layer design applied to adaptive MIMO-MC/OFDM-CDMA based reconfigurable systems for integrated broadband wireless networks), XISPES (High-performance wireless networks for the health environment) and GESLOTEL (Wireless positioning for the tourism industry).
