In September 2018, the 5G Infrastructure Association (5G IA) – the voice of the European industry for the development and evolution of 5G and the organization responsible to represent the private side of the 5G PPP – carried out an election of the members of its Board and CTTC was re-elected. CTTC’s delegate who will [...]

Prof. Ana I. Pérez-Neira has recently been elected member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society Board of Governor for the period 2019-2020. IEEE SPS is one of the prominent IEEE societies, and is an international organization whose purpose is to advance and disseminate state-of-the-art scientific information and resources, educate the signal processing community, and provide [...]

ABSTRACT: High data-rate communication systems require the transmission of radio frequency (RF) signals which are modulated in both amplitude and phase, presenting peak power envelope swings exceeding ten times their average power levels. In wireless communication systems, it is a significant challenge to transmit high peak-to-average-power-ratio signals whilst maintaining a high degree of energy efficiency. However, [...]

The SCAVENGE project celebrates its 5th Progress Meeting. This time, the meeting will be held at CTTC premises, in Castelldefels, in September 27th and 28th. The meeting is open, so you all are welcome to attend. Please send us an e-mail to pm@cttc.cat if you are interested in taking part of the meeting.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
