Title: Delivery of high-performance multi-media applications through dynamic, intelligent control of Radio Access Networks

Supervision Team: Marco Ruffini, TCD / Gabriel-Miro Muntean, DCU

Description: 5G promises to deliver ubiquitous high capacity, ultra-reliable services, so that bandwidth and latency dependent applications, such as Augmented and Virtual Reality can run seamlessly in any location. However, such networks will be built over time and the final 5G target performance of ultra-high capacity, low latency and massive densification will be achieved over many years, culminating in the network generation beyond 5G (today already referred to as 6G, which is hypothesized to launch commercially in 2030). This project aims at investigating efficient resource management mechanisms, especially on the Radio Access Networks, combined across applications and network resources to achieve deterministic performance across a shared infrastructure of a developing network. Our approach will consider: multiple radio access technologies and different density of access points; use of Machine Learning and AI to customise network performance to suit specific targets (energy consumption, interference mitigation, etc.). The work will be carried out on the new experimental beyond 5G testbed platform deployed across the city of Dublin.
