About the position

We have a vacancy for a PhD position in resource management of radio systems for future wireless systems at the department of
manufacturing and civil engineering at NTNU.

Future wireless networks will simultaneously serve millions of communicating devices in small geographical areas driven by fast transition from
current internet-of-things (IoT) towards internet-of-Everything which includes intelligent interconnection of people, process, data, and things.
Besides, massive connectivity of future wireless access networks will lead to extremely complex radio frequency (RF) landscape featuring
devices with different hardware, mobility dynamics, quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, significant spectrum heterogeneity across the
network, fast-changing traffic patterns, and tremendous number of devices with increasing interference. Current methods for supporting a large
volume of connected devices for a given QoS requirements under limited radio resources are based on classical rule-oriented signal processing
techniques. However, as the RF landscape gets extremely complex, it will be impossible to get enough knowledge in advance to program
classical signal processing schemes, especially for the fast-changing RF dynamics.

The goal of the position is to conduct a fundamental research for developing novel RF landscape perception techniques for optimal resource
management of radio systems utilizing artificial intelligence (AI). The selected candidate will conduct high quality research on developing AI
algorithms for RF landscape perception utilizing AI technologies.

You will report to Head of department.

Duties of the position

Design novel AI enabled RF landscape perception and reasoning mechanisms
Develop AI-powered radio resource management for massive wireless access
