Open PhD Positions

Satellite based Navigation Receiver Design

• Research emphasis is on algorithms for GNSS/NavIC receivers. The proposed research combines spread spectrum concepts and digital hardware design with focus on multipath mitigation, intentional and unintentional interference mitigation, carrier-phase ranging, satellite selection for reducing time to first fix for GNSS receiver and development of hybrid positioning technique that utilizes multiple positioning techniques to derive ubiquitous navigation solution. Students applying for this domain are expected to have a strong mathematical background, preferably in topics such as spread spectrum system, statistical and digital signal processing, and communication systems.

5G and Beyond Wireless Communication Networks

• The development of communications has vastly relied on theories and models, from information theory to channel modelling. These traditional approaches are showing serious limitations, especially in view of the increased complexity of communication networks. The advent of 5G is introducing new challenges for mobile communications service providers, and integrating signal processing and learning based techniques into networks is one way the industry is addressing these complexities. The research here will focus on use of learning based methods to address challenges of 5G and beyond communication networks.
