Energy-efficient communications through self-supervised learning and distributed wireless networks KU Leuven
Given the ever-growing demand for high throughput wireless communications, the power consumption used by these networks continues to soar. Many research efforts have been focused on providing higher throughput, reliability and lower latencies. However, energy consumption remains an afterthought rather than a first principal goal in the development of wireless technologies. Given the growing concerns regarding carbon emissions and ...
PhD in electromagnetic risk assessment of wireless communications KU Leuven
The electromagnetic environment is changing rapidly, increasing the chance of interference with other devices severely. While at the same time the number of wireless connections for various applications, including mission- and safety-critical applications, is also increasing. This electromagnetic environment has the chance to interfere with these wireless connections and could lead to costly or dangerous consequences in mission- and ...
Multi-Scale Radio Channel Modeling and Prediction for Reliable Wireless Air-to-Ground (AG) Communications. KU Leuven
Power-efficient Wide-bandwidth Continuous-time ∆Σ CMOS ADCs for Wireless Communications KU Leuven
The explosive development of wireless communications sets stringent requirements on the design of analog-to-digital converters (ADC) in terms of high bandwidth and low power consumption. This PhD dissertation will conduct research on high-speed and energy-efficient ADC in nanometer CMOS technologies. The objective is to explore architectures that fully make use of the advantages of the CMOS technology scaling. Different from prior work in ...

UGent contributes to NEWCOM++ by means of research on the following topics :- Feedback of channel state information from receiver to transmitter- Adaptive modulation and coding- Iterative signal processing at receiver- Coding on higer network layers- Estimation and detection/decoding for cooperative communications
Metasurface-Enhanced Wireless Communications KU Leuven
META-STAR is a large-scale five-year research program on metamaterials resting on the foundation of the three following pillars: 1) Bianisotropic Media (36-parameter metamaterial diversity, involving nonreciprocity, gyrotropy, and gain), 2) Space-Time Electromagnetics (combination of relativity and electromagnetics to address scattering in media modulated both in space and time, possibly with corresponding dispersions), and 3) Multiphysics ...
Wireless high-bitrate communications based on inaccurate and incomplete channel state information Ghent University
This project considers multi-antenna transceivers operating on time-varying frequency-selective fading channels. The transmitters make use of channel state information, that has been estimated and fed back by the receivers. The purpose of the project is the derivation and analysis of transmitter adaptation algorithms that are robust in the presence of inaccurate and incomplete channel state information.
WIreless Safety for Employees – Safe wireless communication in industrial and work environments: exposure and propagation Ghent University
Soon, a EU directive will be effective, determining that each employer has to evaluate the exposure of its workers. This project focuses on the reduction of the absorption of electromagnetic radiation in workers on a way that the competitivity of the companies are nog in danger.
A data-driven, multi-faceted digital communication twin for wireless network analysis and management Ghent University
Communication is essential in the digital age we live in. Increasingly, people and organizations rely on wireless communication for their daily activities. As such, there is a continuous quest to design better and more capable wireless communication systems. For instance, Wi-Fi has now reached its 6th generation. Also, alternative communication solutions appear for e.g. IoT applications. Along with this quest come more and more features and ...
