A 3-year PhD scholarship in Learning within distributed Cognitive Radio networks will be available Department of Biophysical and Electronic Engineering (DIBE), University of Genova, Italy starting from January 2012.
The project
The proposed PhD involves the study of cognitive radio (CR) networks under the viewpoint of designing bio-inspired learning approaches that allow adaptive methods for analysis and decision to evolve under the environmental operating conditions. Focus will be on signal processing methods used at physical level telecommunications to both analyze (e.g. adaptive mode identification, MISM methods) and decision making (e.g. adaptive MIMO beam-forming techniques) within an embodied radio framework.
Distributed estimation and decision methods will be studied within the context of application of CR to telecommunication systems using advanced wide band modulation techniques like OFDM, MC-CDMA, CDMA in mobile multi-antenna scenarios.
Possibility will be open during the PhD to join on going funded research projects when available within the joint labs ISIP40 has with industries (e.g Technoaware, Telecom, ligurian industrial district SIIT).
