ABSTRACT: Hardware imperfections in RF transmitters introduce features that can be used to identify a specific transmitter amongst others. Supervised deep learning has shown good performance in this task but using datasets not applicable to real world situations where topologies evolve over time. To remedy this, the work rests on a series of datasets gathered [...]

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 [...]

The 5GCroCo European project, together with the 5G-CARMEN and 5G-MOBIX projects, have won the “Best Booth Award” at the EuCNC 2019 congress organized in Valencia on June 18-21. Congratulations!!      

On June 4th, the kick-off meeting of the ICT-19 5G-Solutions project was held in Turin, organized by Telecom Italia (TIM). The 5G-Solutions project aims to prove in the field that the 5G capabilities provide ubiquitous access to a wide range of forward-looking applications and services with orders of magnitude of improvement over the current technology [...]

ABSTRACT: We consider a communication setup where transmitters wish to simultaneously sense network states and convey messages to intended receivers. The scenario is motivated by joint radar and vehicular communications where the radar and data applications share the same bandwidth.  First, Prof. Kobayashi will present a theoretical framework to characterize the fundamental limits of such a [...]

The CTTC presented the VLADIMIR concept to the participants of the kick-off event of ATTRACT (https://attract-eu.com/), which took place on 20-21 May 2019 at the premises of CERN (Geneva). VLADMIR will implement a monitoring system for indoor areas by sensing the variations that the optical wireless communication channel experiences when pre-defined ‘target’ events take place. [...]
