New PhD position at University of York: Machine learning and advance signal processing for intelligent spectrum and resource management in wireless networks
Department of Electronic Engineering
About the Project
Efficient use of resources has always been an important issue in wireless networks. Energy, computational power and spectrum are examples of these resources. Emergence and popularity of new technologies like autonomous and connected driving, connected robotics and industry 4.0, and different sorts of digital realities (AR/VR/MR) put more demand on wireless and mobile networks. Satisfying the new coverage, capacity, latency and reliability of the networks cannot be done with conventional resource allocation/management methods. Therefore, we will investigate the machine learning and advance signal processing approaches. The project will be aligned with considered features in 3GPP release 16 and 17. The successful candidate will investigate the effects of different learning and signal processing approaches on performance of networks with different objectives and primary applications.
Entry requirements
Candidates must have (or expect to obtain) a minimum of a UK upper second class honours degree (2.1) or equivalent in Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics or a related subject.
How to apply
Applicants must apply via the University’s online application system at https://www.york.ac.uk/study/postgraduate-research/apply/. Please read the application guidance first so that you understand the various steps in the application process. To apply, please select the PhD in Electronic Engineering for January 2021 entry. Please specify in your PhD application that you would like to be considered for this studentship.
Applications for this studentship will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis and the position will be filled as soon as a suitable applicant is identified.
Funding Notes
This studentship will cover the tuition fee at the home/EU rate (£4,407 in 2020/21) and a stipend at the standard research council rate for a period of up to 3.5 years (£15,285 in 2020/21). International (non-EU) candidates are also welcome to apply but will be required to pay the difference between the UK/EU and international tuition fee rates (approximately £17,000 per year for the duration of the programme).
