The SIGCOM research group is headed by Prof. Symeon Chatzinotas and Prof. Björn Ottersten. The team focuses on signal processing for satellite / wireless communications / networking and radar applications.

The research on communications focuses on the formulation, modelling, design, and analysis of future communication networks (beyond 5G) that are capable of supporting new services in a cost efficient manner.

In the B5G domain, SIGCOM addresses large antenna systems, multiuser MIMO systems, Non orthogonal Multiple Access, radio resource management, mmWave beamforming, physical layer security, full duplex systems, wireless power transfer, software defined networking and network automation.

In the satellite domain, SIGCOM addresses transceiver design, onboard processing, active antennas, multi-beam processing, optical communications, localization, spectrum monitoring and network performance optimization.

The analysis is based on traditional statistical and optimization methods, as well as learning-assisted approaches for offline training and operational system monitoring / control.

The communication activities are supported by CommLab, which exploits Software Defined Radios for fast prototyping and demonstration.

We’re looking for people driven by excellence, excited about innovation, and looking to make a difference. If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place!

Your Role

This is a fully funded position within the national project MEGALEO : Self-Organized Lower Earth Orbit Mega-Constellations , whose Principal Investigator is Prof.

Chatzinotas. Therefore, the objectives of the PhD project are defined in accordance to the project directions, and also aligned with the new trends of non-geostationary satellite constellations.

More information on the MEGALEO project can be found in : https : / / wwwfr.uni.lu / snt / research / sigcom / projects / megaleo

The position holder will be required to perform the following tasks :

Contribute to the national project MEGALEO : Self-Organized Lower Earth Orbit Mega-Constellations

Carry out research in the predefined areas

Disseminate results through scientific publications

Present results in well-known international conferences and workshops

Your Profile

Qualification : The candidate should possess a Master degree.

Experience : The ideal candidate should have some knowledge and experience in a number of the following topics :

Radio resource allocation / Radio resource management (e.g. power allocation, frequency assignment, scheduling, etc)

Array signal processing and beamforming

Optimization techniques and tools

Background in general wireless communications

Knowledge of satellite communications is highly desirable but not mandatory.

Knowledge of terrestrial wireless radio resource optimization techniques is considered an advantage.

Programming skills in MATLAB are required.

Programming skills with any satellite orbit emulator (e.g. AGI STK) would be a plus.

Language Skills : Fluent written and verbal communication skills in English are required.
