UK - University College London PhD Studentship in Self-Configuring Wireless Networks

A Fully-Funded PhD Studentship
Communications and Information Systems Research Group
UCL Department Of Electrical And Electronic Engineering
(subject to agreement, starting date: January 2008)

We wish to recruit a PhD student to work with Dr Yang Yang on a joint Toshiba Research Europe and UCL project focussing on the development of future intelligent self-configuring wireless networks. This research project will apply cognitive radio, machine learning, and biological inspired techniques to enable wireless networks have the capability of learning, reasoning, analysing and adjusting system parameters across different network layers, in order to achieve network self-organisation and optimal performance. Our research methodologies will involve algorithm development, performance evaluation, computer simulation and, if possible, testbed experiments.

Applicants are required to have an MSc degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or a related field, good knowledge of communication networks, sound analytical skills and programming skills (e.g. NS2, Matlab, C/C++, or Java), and effective written and verbal communication skills. It is desirable that the applications have some R&D experience in cognitive radio, machine learning, radio resource management, MAC protocols, traffic analysis or wireless QoS. A good track record of publications is a plus, but not a necessary requirement.

This PhD studentship is tax-free and is for three years (Jan 2008 - Jan 2011). It will cover the UCL tuition fees (up to 16K pounds per annum for an overseas student) and a stipend of around 1200 pounds per month to cover the student’s living expenses in London.

Ireland - National University of Ireland Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Reconfigurable Radio Systems

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position in the general area of software defined radio and reconfigurable platforms. This area of research, led by Dr. Ronan Farrell, as part of substantial ongoing activities in the Institute of Microelectronics and Wireless Systems and is part of a larger collaborative research programme within the SFI Centre for Telecommunications Value-Chain Research (CTVR)

The Institute has developed a number of reconfigurable radio platforms, using both direct and FPGA based systems to demonstrate flexible reconfigurable radios, similar to the software radio platform from the GNU radio and the USRP by Mark Ettus. This system offers superior performance and is one of the first such systems available outside of the United States. The available position is for someone to take advantage of this platform and help advance a research programme in the broad area of reconfigurable radio being cognisant of the technical challenges arising from the physical layer technologies.

Ireland - National University of Ireland Master’s / Phd Scholarship in Software Defined Radio Systems

Applications are invited for a Masters/PhD studentship in the area of interoperability of software defined radio systems. This area of research, led by Dr. Ronan Farrell, as part of substantial ongoing activities in the Institute of Microelectronics and Wireless Systems in the area of reconfigurable radio systems. This project is part of a larger collaborative research programme within the SFI Centre for Telecommunications Value-Chain Research (CTVR)

As the number of reconfigurable radio platforms increase, both hardware and software components, it is increasingly difficult to ascertain the relative performance of these systems and the level of interoperability between the different hardware and software elements. Existing solutions in this space are overwhelmingly complex. The research will focus on tools and techniques to assess the performance of measure and accurately quantify the capabilities of the various platforms currently available, and then to propose a low-cost interface for encouraging interoperability between hardware and software platforms.
