1st CTTC Workshop, Sitges, September 21st
On the 21st September 2018, the 1st CTTC Workshop will be held at the Melià Hotel, in Sitges. The aim of the session is to get together all the researchers at CTTC so that they can share and put in common their personal works in poster sessions. Apart from this, the workshop counts with several [...]
Weekly Seminar Series: “mmWaves in 5G NR cellular networks: a system level perspective”
ABSTRACT: Communication at mmWave frequencies will play a key role in next generation 5G cellular networks. However, mobile scenarios are the most challenging for mmWave cellular systems, due to the high propagation loss, the relatively small coverage area of individual cells, and rapid channel dynamics caused by blockage events. In this talk, Michele Polese will [...]
Weekly Seminar Series: “I-CUBE project”
ABSTRACT: I-CUBE project has been funded by Inmarsat UK to analyze and evaluate the viability of using Ultra-Narrow-Band (UNB) systems in the return link of LEO constellations. This study has also included the characterization of the satellite channel, the description of the physical layer and the access scheme of a UNB communication system and the [...]
In the context of this PhD Thesis defense, Marco Miozzo presents his work realized at CTTC. This dissertation deals the trend for the next generation of cellular network, the Fifth Generation (5G), predicts a 1000x increase in the capacity demand with respect to 4G, which leads to new infrastructure deployments. To this respect, it is [...]
Best Demo Award in the prestigious IEEE CAMAD 2018 conference
Jordi Serra, Christos Verikoukis, Luis Sanabria-Russo and David Pubill, researchers from the CTTC are awarded for the Best Demo at the IEEE International Workshop on Computer-Aided Modeling Analysis and Design of Communication Links and Networks (IEEE CAMAD 2018).
Weekly Seminar Series: “Feasibility of mmWave communication on dense 4G outdoor deployments”
ABSTRACT: The development of 5G cellular networks is driven by increasingly diverse requirements, such as 10-fold increase in data rates, few milliseconds latency, and a huge number of connections emerging from the rise of the Internet of Things. This 5G progress is motivating some fundamental changes in the existing architecture of the 4G cellular networks. [...]
Weekly Seminar Series: “Li-Fi by Lucibel: The first industrialised solution on the market”
ABSTRACT: Li-Fi (Light Fidelity) is a technology for wireless communication that uses light to provide data transmission and illumination services simultaneously. From the beginning, Li-Fi has been designed to give to the end-user a connectivity experience that is similar to Wi-Fi. Among other advantages, Li-Fi guarantees highly secured data transmissions, can be used in areas [...]
Weekly Seminar Series: “Graph Signal Processing”
ABSTRACT: Signal Processing has traditionally dealt with time series, images, video where data is indexed by time ticks and pixels. The structure of the indexing set is taken for granted. In the last few years, new opportunities for signal and data processing have arisen, except data is now indexed by social agents, genes, customers of [...]
PhD Thesis Defense: Cellular Networks for Smart Grid Communication
In the context of this PhD thesis defense, Charalampos Kalalas presents his work realized at CTTC. This dissertaion deals the next-generation electric power system, known as smart grid, relies on a robust and reliable underlying communication infrastructure to improve the efficiency of electricity distribution. Cellular networks, e.g., LTE/LTE-A systems, appear as a promising technology to [...]
This seminar is part of the Distinguished Lecturer Tour (DLT) for Spain of the Prof. Davide Dardari. ABSTRACT: The need for accurate geolocation has intensified in recent years, especially in cluttered environments (e.g., inside buildings, in urban canyons, under tree canopies, and in caves), where the global positioning system (GPS) is often inaccessible. The talk [...]
