Some of the recent projects include:

Mobility Inverted Networks (MIN)

Mobility Inverted Networks (MINs) flip the mobility paradigm of traditional terrestrial networks. Whereas in traditional mobile networks, the access points are fixed infrastructure, in a MIN the access point is positioned on a platform with a higher degree of mobility. This introduces new challenges and opportunities at all layers of the stack from physical to networking. Our research in this area consists of understanding this shift and building real-world systems based on these principles, especially utilizing UAVs. More


Dynamic Spectrum Access

The scale and density of mobile network deployments is increasing rapidly. While several strides to increase spectral efficiency through advanced multiplexing strategies have been made, the inability to accurately assess the impact of external interference leads to significant performance degradation during dynamic spectrum access. This project evaluates and aims to mitigate this degradation through scalable learning, and optimal and intelligent algorithms. More … 


FutureG Wireless Positioning

Localization (or Positioning) is a key technology for the next generation 5G wireless systems (both WiFi and cellular) to cater to the needs of interactive, immersive, and robot-human applications. Such applications require not only sub-meter localization accuracy but also highly demanded communication throughput. In this research theme, we explore the intricate problems and challenges that need to be addressed to make the systems have better localization accuracy without sacrificing communication performance.
