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
