Fields of Activity
Scientific Profile and Strategy
The Radio Access Technology (RATE) section performs research and teaching within radio access technologies and systems. The research covers both cutting-edge technologies and cross layer optimization for improved peak data rates, spectral efficiency, and end user performance.
In term of the OSI model the main activities can be categorized into L1-L3: PHY-layer, MAC-layer, and link control-layer. The main focus is on the integration, inter-operation, and cross-layer optimisation rather than individual in-depth treatment of any single technique.
Our research work includes both link-level and system level analysis and optimization. The research topics covered in the section include for example: multiple access techniques, digital modulation and coding, channel estimation and equalisation, advanced multi-antenna processing, and radio resource management.
