About 6G-TERRAIN

6G is expected to trigger a total rethink of network architecture design, adopting the new Network of Networks vision which promotes the integration of multi-stakeholder, multi-technology infrastructures. Future 6G systems will tightly integrate satellite systems, Low-Earth Orbit constellations (e.g., OneWeb), High-Altitude Platforms (HAPs), and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), a concept termed as integrated Terrestrial and Non-terrestrial Networking (TNTN). The sheer scale and heterogeneity of future TNTN infrastructures will pose unique challenges. 6G-TERRAIN adopts Integrated Sensing and Communication (ICAS) as a key enabler of TNTNs, allowing perception of the complex and dynamic TNTNs through sensing the physical environment. It also aims to develop a native AI automation architecture and related technologies and frameworks.

The project will include a training network of 10 Doctoral Candidates conducting research towards the 6G “Network of Networks” vision.

The Role

The DC will focus on designing physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers of unified TNTN radio access networks to integrate communication and sensing functionalities. Specifically, the research will involve adding radar functionalities based on beamforming to network base stations, exploring architecture, procedures, and algorithms for synergizing communication and sensing in future networks.

Further details about the Ph.D. project are provided below.

Position: DC07

Title: ICAS-related beamforming for 6G Unified 3D Networks

Objectives include developing beamforming techniques for ISAC deployments, proposing methods for multi-static deployment coordination, investigating clutter suppression algorithms, and examining implications for 3D network architecture and standardization.

Expected results involve algorithm verification via simulation and proof of concept, and generating IPR for solutions and standardization.

Knowledge required includes PHY and MAC of radio access, and advanced signal processing methods.

Secondment: University of Bremen, Germany, for up to 6 months.

Ph.D. enrollment: University of Bremen, Germany.
