Project Openings

  1. Project Title: Smart Radio Environments (Intelligent Reflecting Surface): Implementation and deployment for targeted uses-cases

    Position Available: Junior Research Fellow 
     
    Scope of work:
    In the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-enhanced wireless communication system, channel state information (CSI) is of paramount importance for achieving the passive beamforming gain of IRS, which, however, is a practically challenging task due to its massive number of passive elements without transmitting/receiving capabilities. In this project, the candidate will be responsible for CSI estimation and finally integration of hardware for the establishment of communication between a transmitter with user equipment via IRS in indoor environment.
