PhD position in Future Deterministic Wireless Networks
Call for Expression of Interest – Ph.D. Position in Future Wireless Deterministic Networks
Are you passionate about advancing communication technology? Do you want to shape the future of real-time control in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) for industrial, transportation, and consumer applications? Do you have solid knowledge in network calculus, statistics, queuing theory, wireless performance modeling, and network protocols? Then you should join our exciting PhD project to develop a unified approach for deterministic communication, overcoming the limitations of existing technologies like 5G, TSN, DetNet, and L4S. This project is a collaboration between IMT Atlantique and Mid Sweden University which will lead to a Ph.D. degree from both institutions.
Project Overview: Deterministic communication is key for reliable, low-latency data transmission in CPS. Current technologies provide partial solutions but lack comprehensive end-to-end guarantees. This PhD project aims to design an integrated framework for deterministic communication across 5G Radio Access Network (RAN), Core Network (CN), and core-cloud interfaces.
Key Research Areas:
- Statistical methods for reliable low-latency link adaptation, grant-free access, and efficient scheduling.
- Packet techniques for maintaining reliable low-latency access, especially under mobility.
- In-core solutions like packet re-ordering and congestion control.
- End-to-end networking framework leveraging cloud and edge intelligence for low-latency and low-loss communication.
Desired Candidate Skills:
- Proficiency in statistical tools (network calculus, extreme value theory, queuing theory).
- Expertise in wireless system modeling, algorithm design, and simulation (3GPP 5G/LTE, IEEE/IETF TSN).
- Strong programming skills in Python, Matlab, and C.
- A Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Signal Processing, or a relevant field for the project.
Program Structure:
You will spend two years at IMT and two years at MIUN. The position is fully funded and the candidate will enjoy all benefits that all other regular university employees have.
Why Join Us?
- Collaborative Environment: Work within a joint program between two prestigious institutions.
- Innovative Research: Engage in groundbreaking research with real-world impact.
- Professional Growth: Develop advanced skills for a successful career in academia or industry.
Important Application Criteria:
- Immediate Availability: Candidates should be available to start immediately.
- Minimal Visa/Relocation Delays: Ability to begin work with minimal delays.
If you are motivated with a strong background in communication technologies and a passion for research, please send your CV, grades, and motivation letter indicating your interest and background suitable for this position to Professor Georgios Z. Papadopoulos (@email) and Prof. Mikael Gidlund (@email). Help us shape the future of deterministic communication for Cyber-Physical Systems.
