5G/6G Wireless Communications & IoT Networking

Our dedicated team conducts cutting-edge research spanning the spectrum of 5G/6G technologies and systems. From vehicular and drone communications to machine-type communications in IoT, we delve into cross-layer research to analyse and model the impact on various aspects including massive device connections, ultra-reliable communications, low latency communications, and cyber security. Collaborating closely with industry partners, we develop and test algorithms, protocols, and systems to address real-world challenges.
