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. [...]

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).  

5GPPP 5GTANGO project announces the release 4.0 of SONATA NFV platform. 5GTANGO has taken over the work of SONATA and it will keep upgrading and extending the SONATA NFV Platform. This is the first major release since the finalization of SONATA project and includes a novel Validation and Verification Platform in order to support DevOps [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

CTTC is pleased to announce the 3-day course Ground-Based SAR deformation monitoring: data analysis organized by the Geomatics Division of the CTTC and sponsored by IDS. The course will cover the relevant aspects of GBSAR data analysis to understand advantages and limitations of this new technique and to correctly exploit and interpret its data. Lectures [...]
