Research Expertise

Description

My research area is wireless communications. My research develops vital technology components essential to push beyond the boundaries of current communication networks, to cope with the current surge in mobile data demand, in a way that is both economical and sustainable. This can be achieved by distributing the intelligence within the network among many distributed simpler entities while "stretching" the dimensionality of important factors at play, i.e. increasing (i) the radio transmitter deployment density; (ii) the infrastructure dynamics (such as when considering drones as communicating entities); (iii) the radio frequency carrier and bandwidth. As an important complement to the above strategy, I am very interested in studying the implication of the topology of physical and functional interactions within wireless networks in achieving global desired network performance while acting locally based on simple interacting devices. I am a well reputed expert in the domain of digital signal processing and resource allocation for wireless communication, and am pioneering the application of complex systems science to communication networks. When joining TCD in September 2011, I started from one PhD I co-supervised, and by now I built and am running (starting from scratch) a research group, currently being the supervisor of 7 PhD students and 3 postdocs. I already successfully supervised 12 PhD students till their degree completion, and supervised 10 postdocs in the past. I built a very large and diverse international collaboration network, working with several top universities in my field, such as Virginia Tech, University of Edinburgh, and Technische Universität Braunschweig, and visiting prestigious academic institutions in USA, India and Japan, i.e. Virginia Tech (1 month), Indian Institute of Technology (5 months), University of Electro-Communications (1.5 months). I have also been extensively collaborating with Nokia Bell Labs, with their labs in Ireland, France and Germany. I also act as a Senior Academic Lead of the CONNECT-Industry Strategic Collaborative Research Programme. Due to a combined communication engineering & mathematical education and research profile, my work touches upon theoretical aspects of modern communication networks, as well as their practical design challenges. In my career, I focused on aspects that turned out to be crucial in the affirmation of the former generation of wireless networks (4G), such as multiple antenna techniques and autonomous radio resource allocation. After joining TCD, I started to help shape the 5th generation (5G) of communication networks, working on massive deployment of low-power base stations and arrays with up to hundreds of antennas. Such work led to the funding of several EU projects focusing on 5G and beyond networks. I published 77 journals, 95 conference papers, 2 books, 9 book chapters, 5 guest editorials, and filed 4 patents. As PI/Co-PI, I was awarded €1.7 million. I have an h-index of 30, 2,900+ citations in total, and 14 of my publications received at least 50 citations. I regularly publish in top journals and conferences in my field, for example IEEE Transactions or Letters, and IEEE ComSoc flagship conferences such as GLOBECOM and ICC.

  • Summary
    • The Internet of Things (IoT) is creating a new structure of awareness - a cybernetic one - upon physical processes. Industries of different kinds are expected to join soon this revolution, leading to the so-called Factories of the Future or Industry 4.0. Our considered IoT-based industrial cyber-physical system (CPS) works in three generic steps: 1) Large data acquisition / dissemination: A physical process is monitored by sensors that pre-process the (assumed large) collected data and send the processed information to an intelligent node (e.g. aggregator, central controller); 2) Big data fusion: The intelligent node uses machine learning techniques (e.g. data clustering, pattern recognition, neural networks) to convert the received ("big") data to useful information to guide short-term operational decisions related to the physical process; 3) Big data analytics: The physical process together with the acquisition and fusion steps can be virtualized, building then a cyber-physical process, whose dynamic performance can be analysed and optimized through visualization (if human intervention is available) or artificial intelligence (if the decisions are automatic) or a combination thereof.

  • Title
    • Addressing the future wireless network capacity scaling trough massive MIMO and millimetre Wave technologies and a user centric networking
  • Summary
    • The fifth generation (5G) wireless communication network is expected to connect everything and everyone, including the traditional human-to-human communications but also those between autonomous smart entities, like buildings, vehicles and sensors. Applying previous practical experience at Nokia Bell Labs in the design and implementation of cutting edge 5G massive MIMO prototypes, the aim of this PhD is to further develop and enhance the performance of 5G networks. One of the main challenges of this project is to deal with the 5G traffic heterogeneity, i.e., delivering a larger capacity for broadband services (e.g. virtual reality), while providing reliable services to a multitude of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. To address this challenge, the focus will be on a new 5G heterogeneous network comprised of two disruptive technologies, massive multiple-input multiple-output and millimetre-wave, proposing novel theoretical analysis tools and machine learning algorithms to realize an efficient integration of both technologies into the new network and providing an efficient radio resource management able to deal with network dynamics. A novel theoretical framework is needed to understand the performance of thousands of new 5G base stations communicating with millions of users, and gain key insights to develop tailored algorithms. Machine learning will be the basis of such algorithms, allowing for the first time to leverage the vast amount of information that millions of nodes can produce at the physical and medium access control layers. The outcome of this project will be novel analysis tools and algorithms that allow an efficient 5G operation, enhancing the network capacity by a factor of 100x as compared to current deployments, as well as the publication of research articles, patents and standardization contributions that will help define the technology advantage of Nokia Bell Labs and enhance the scientific contribution of the Irish ecosystem to the new communication era.

  • Title
    • IoCT (Internet of Complex Things)
  • Summary
    • The continuous expansion of wireless networks both in size and functionalities has seen a larger number of nodes communicating over multiple heterogeneous technologies which share precious spectrum and similar applications. This ranges from cellular networks to IoT and everything in between. Traditional centralised approaches cannot manage a very vast and data intensive network efficiently as there is not enough bandwidth to support the control data necessary and the latency of a central decision maker would be too high. On the other hand, it is very hard to determine how local actions will impact global performance and as such, some form of bird's eye view is necessary. The work is at the interface between traditional wireless communication, complex Systems and machine learning. The main objectives of his project are to determine scalable, hierarchical multi agent solutions which include emergent properties of wireless networks in the feedback loop between a highly abstracted centralised monitor and local but data intensive controllers.

    • FD-M2Mcomm (Cross-Layer Full-Duplex Design: Potential for Machine-to-Machine Communications)
  • Summary
    • Recently machine-to-machine (M2M) communications (M2MCom) has emerged as an enabling technology for the practical realization of Internet-of-Things (IoT). Successful implementation of an M2MCom network demands high reliability, low latency, real-time operation and handling of huge amount of data, which, in turn, offers several challenges like connectivity among large number of machines with diverse functionalities, wide coverage area, resource and quality of service (QoS) constraints. In the research project FD-M2Mcomm, a cross-layer full-duplex (FD) design will be proposed to address the above-mentioned challenges of M2MCom systems. Adaptive FD MIMO (multiple-input-multiple-output) beamforming in the physical (PHY) layer will be combined with a request to send (RTS)/full-duplex clear to send (FCTS) mechanism based FD scheduling in the medium access (MAC) layer. The potentials of this design will be studied against two major applications of M2MCom, which are Smart Grids and Intelligent Transport System, and its performance will be evaluated through both numerical analysis and quantitative simulations. This project will also investigate the applicability of the proposed design for M2MCom in the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequency band using realistic mm-wave outdoor and indoor propagation models. Finally, the FD cross-layer PHY-MAC design will be validated practically through implementation on an IoT-based testbed.

  • Title
    • Complex Systems Science as a General Framework to Model and Analyse Functional Aspects of Wireless Networks
  • Summary
    • The central goal of the project is the development of a completely novel approach to network monitoring techniques. To develop these techniques we draw on concepts of an information theoretical (i.e. complexity) and biological nature (mainly degeneracy), using them to underpin a new approach to communication networks. Development of our framework will proceed in a layered fashion, with a modelling layer forming the foundation of the project, supporting an analysis layer. The modelling phase will cultivate techniques to capture the significant attributes of networks and the interactions that shape them through the application of tools such as graph theory abstractions to derive new metrics that holistically describe a network. The analysis phase completes the core functionality of the approach by linking our new measures to overall network performance. Together these phases empower multi-scale examination of telecommunications networks. Furthermore, in order to maximize the impact of the work, the proposed approach is rooted in the most relevant, near-future architectures and use cases in 5G networks. Through these efforts we will initiate a completely new way to analyse and engineer networks, founding a new theory and practice of telecommunications not currently anticipated and immediately relevant to telecommunication advancement.

    • Enabling Cellular Networks to Exploit Millimeter-wave Opportunities (NEMO)
  • Summary
    • The aim is to explore the creation of networks utilizing device-to-infrastructure links to support dense, high-capacity networks, such as those required in sports arenas, theatres, and transportation hubs. Critical to these networks are high-capacity, yet uncertain links that change rapidly due to the more pronounced effects of factors such as shadowing and micro-mobility on millimetre-wave links (i.e. operating in the 30-300 GHz frequency range). Such networks demand the development of new wireless network architectures and new resource allocation techniques based on new measurement based channel propagation models and assessed against new capacity analyses.

    • Advanced Dynamic spectrum 5G mobile networks Employing Licensed shared access (ADEL)
  • Summary
    • Flexible spectrum usage is a promising enabler of spectral efficiency for next generation wireless broadband networks. In order to deliver the next order of magnitude gains in terms of overall spectral and radio efficiency envisioned for 2020, wireless access will have to be revisited both from a policy as well as from a technology innovation perspective. On the policy side, with the emergence of heterogeneous and small cell networks, the original ''licensed vs. unlicensed'' spectrum usage model has recently given way to the ''licensed shared access (LSA)'' paradigm wherein incumbent operators may allow smaller ones to share their spectrum at specific times and places, according to an agreed set of rules. In order to deliver the targeted gains, the LSA approach needs to address specific technology challenges. In ADEL we plan to address the following key challenges within the LSA wireless access paradigm: i) the dynamic and optimised allocation of the spectral and power resources at a short time scale (on the order of seconds to even milliseconds), ii) the guarantee of Quality of Service to the users of all participating spectrum-sharing networks and iii) the minimisation of the overall energy expenditure of LSA networks. As key technology enablers towards these goals, we propose the use of i) decentralised spectrum sharing techniques that allow both faster decision making and less control overhead; ii) advanced collaborative sensing between the cooperating wireless networks and individual nodes for better network coordination; iii) advanced frequency agile transceivers; and iv) self-optimisation techniques at the LSA networks to further minimise the EMF radiation and the interference caused to the incumbent networks. With the above, we believe that ADEL will lead to future heterogeneous wireless networks of an order of magnitude higher capacity and energy efficiency thus setting the roadmap for the adoption of spectrum flexible broadband wireless systems by 2020.
