PhD Position in Public access Femtocells for future wireless communication networks

PhD Studentship

University of Leeds -Institute of Integrated Information

Name of School Contact: Dr. Li X Zhang Contact Details: l.x.zhang@leeds.ac.uk
Tel: 0113 3432005
Closing Date: 30 September 2012

Femtocell is a small and low power Base Station that covers a small area and is connected to the core cellular network through wired or wireless backhaul. Femtocell is considered as a vital element in expanding the capabilities of cellular networks to satisfy the increasing demands for high data rate multimedia services and anytime, anywhere data. This project aims to research and develop cost effective femtocell network for ubiquitous broadband coverage, particularly, for the busy metropolitan and rural area by using satellite backhaul, and to provide practical solutions to the interference, synchronisation and signalling problems to ensure satisfactory QoS and seamless mobility.

12 PhD positions in the area of mobile communications

CROSSFIRE, a newly launched FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network, 
offers twelve fully-funded PhD positions in six European countries. 
Under an architectural and component level perspective, the project 
approaches the emerging Long-Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) network, 
which will be populated by uncoordinated and vast number of small cells 
(micro, pico and femtocells). We primary aim to provide a holistic 
understanding on issues such as co-channel interference from randomly 
located small cells (unplanned deployment), efficient utilization of the 
scarce spectrum (via cognition), self-organization (SON) and QoE at the 
end users, under the assumption that LTE-A networks share a common 
physical infrastructure. 

PhD Studentship on millimetre-wave smart antennas

PhD Studentship

Design and measurement methodologies of millimetre-wave smart antennas

University of Surrey

Applications are invited for a funded three-year PhD studentship starting on 1 January 2013 to investigate the novel design and measurement methodologies of millimetre-wave smart antennas. Millimetre-wave smart antennas using, for example printed reflectarray, are the key technology for satellite communications, wireless local area networks and radars. At millimetre-wave bands they offer multi-gigabit speeds to complement existing Wi-Fi capabilities and enable new cutting-edge wireless applications. Main objectives of this project include novel designs, implementations and measurement techniques of millimetre-wave smart antennas.
