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.

Research Fellow in "Signal Processing and Communications" at University of Edinburgh

Research Fellow in "Signal Processing and Communications" (2 posts)

The Institute for Digital Communications is seeking two research fellows to work on signal processing for wireless networks research funded by the European Programmes, for a period of 18 and 24 months. You will undertake research on interference alignment, network information theory, complex random matrix theory, network and massive MIMO, stochastic geometry, beamforming techniques and cooperative wireless communication systems.

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.

MSc/PhD Positions: Mathematics of Future Wireless Networks, Hamilton Institute, Ireland

MSc/PhD Positions: Mathematics of Future Wireless Networks, Hamilton Institute, Ireland

Basic Description Applications are invited for a number of postgraduate research positions at the Hamilton Institute in the National University of Ireland, Maynooth. The Hamilton Institute is a multi-disciplinary research centre that seeks to provide a bridge between mathematics and its applications in ICT and biology. Successful candidates will join one of the largest, internationally recognized and most active networking research groups in Ireland. Wireless networks are not only ubiquitous and of great economic importance to modern society, but also the source of many of the fundamental scientific challenges faced by modern communication networks. A key feature of modern networks is their scale and complexity and at the Hamilton Institute we are developing new mathematical methods to gain insight and understanding. We combine this theoretical analysis with cutting-edge experimental work, and it is this combination that is one of the distinguishing features of the Hamilton Institute and that is allowing us to advance understanding in scientifically challenging areas of practical significance. Graduate students at the institute are embedded in a vibrant, stimulating research environment and gain a unique education from leading researchers, positioning them well for their career development.

The institute has a very active international visitor programme and provides the opportunity for international and industry exchange visits. Our Network Maths initiative is part of our structured PhD programme where leading international researchers provide specialist postgraduate modules to support our research students.
