RIS-Assisted Full-Duplex Relay Systems 1 min read · Thu, Aug 4 2022 News Wireless Communications The latest work on RIS-Aided full duplex relay communications has been accepted for publication in IEEE Systems Journal. Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) have recently been presented as a revolutionary technique and recognized as one of the candidates for beyond fifth-generation wireless networks. The RIS technology becomes especially attractive due to its capability to operate in a full-duplex (FD) mode, which is able to ideally double the half-duplex radio spectrum efficiency. Thus, mixing active FD relaying techniques with passive RIS platforms can be an ideal solution to improve
Best Poster Award -3rd place by Dr. Asmaa Abdallah 1 min read · Thu, Mar 31 2022 News Wireless Communications machine learning MIMO digital signal processing Last week our postdoc Dr. Asmaa Abdallah presented her work on Deep Learning Based Frequency-Selective Channel Estimation for Hybrid mmWave MIMO Systems in the Research conference: Extreme Bandwidth Communication: From mmWave, THz to Optical Bands. Her work is about channel estimations for millimeter wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. These systems typically employ hybrid mixed signal processing to avoid expensive hardware and high training overheads. However, the lack of fully digital beamforming at mmWave bands imposes additional challenges in channel
Best Scientific Capture Award -2nd place by David Lago Cachón 1 min read · Wed, Dec 15 2021 News Scanning Electron Microscopy magnetic nanowires Last month our postdoc David Lago-Cachón and his colleague Niketan Patel were awarded with the second place on the Best Scientific Capture Award organized by the 5th Young Researchers in Magnetism #YRinM2021. The contest was sponsored by Universitat de Girona, Spanish Magnetism Club (CEMAG) and IEEE-Magnetics Society. The image shows highly-ordered anodized alumina in the shape of honeycomb.

CCSL LATEST PAPER 1 min read · Thu, Nov 25 2021 News resource management NOMA Unmanned Aerial Vehicle interference management clustering algorithms Throughput Relay networks Our paper UAV-Assisted Cooperative & Cognitive NOMA: Deployment, Clustering, and Resource Allocation has been accepted for publication in Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking. We describe how the deployment of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can be used as a relay that fairly serves many secondary users in a hot-spot region. The cooperative and cognitive non-orthogonal multiple access technologies are an inherent remedy to achieve high spectral efficiency at large-scale networks. Moreover, considering the expeditious 3D deployment capabilities of UAVs, their use as
