Analysis, design and optimization of secure and efficient massive MIMO wireless systems
FY 2024-25
Summary
Wireless communication systems (e.g. cellular, WiFi, etc.) are one of the most important tools for modern society, which makes use of them in daily activities in various ways. The importance of these systems has grown significantly over the past 40 years and this tendency still continues and is expected to do so in the foreseeable future . Its last manifestation is the introduction of 5G and extensive research and development activities for 6G. Making use of the results obtained in the previous NSERC-funded project and other relevant activities, the proposed research will address some of the key issues in the analysis, design and optimization of modern wireless communication systems and networks.
In particular, 3 key technologies for 5/6G will be studied in details: massive MIMO, physical layer security and intelligent reflective surfaces. The emphasis will be on the development of analytical tools for performance analysis and optimization, which are expected to generate fundamental insights into operation of such systems from which practical design guidelines can be developed. Practically-important issues, such as propagation channel characteristics and its uncertainties, imprecisions in implementing beamforming and other signal processing algorithms will be accounted for. The expected outcomes include fundamental analytical techniques for performance analysis and optimization of massive MIMO wireless communication systems operating in realistic environments under interference and secrecy constraints, including analytical tools, optimized algorithms for transmission and reception as well as specific system design guidelines. These tools and algorithms will allow for more efficient, robust and secure system design in the fast-evolving and growing area of wireless communications, which is of critical importance to modern information-based society.
These research activities will benefit from already established international and national collaborations with academic and industrial partners.
