Your future responsibilities
The PhD student will research methods to quantify, support and improve the trustworthiness of 6G communications, with a focus on mission-critical applications in dynamic industrial environments with communication requirements such as ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). By ensuring trustworthy communication in 6G networks, research will cover frameworks for assessing and improving network resilience and reliability to deliver trustworthy performance even in high-demand scenarios.
Research will focus on the development of environmental sensing technologies that can be used to predict the near future of communication scenarios in order to improve communication quality and achieve near-deterministic communication performance. Localisation, integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) and other methods should be explored for this purpose. The integration of both AI methods and advanced signal processing to interpret and analyse the environment will be a key aspect of this research, especially in challenging conditions such as severe multipath propagation and non-line-of-sight scenarios.
Theoretical research will be applied to real industrial environments such as smart manufacturing, automated logistics and precision agriculture. Collaboration with industry partners to understand their unique challenges and develop 6G-enabled solutions to improve efficiency and productivity will be an integral part of the research.
