The fifth generation (5G) of wireless communication, and generations beyond that, will require vastly increased data capacity and will provide completely new applications in new scenarios, including the “Internet of Things” (IoT), machine-type communications, haptics, and many others. These impose new performance requirements, including greatly reduced latency and enhanced reliability, as well as improvements in energy efficiency.
Our research addresses new modulation and coding schemes, ranging from schemes based on lattice coding to MF-GFSK for constant-envelope signalling, new multicarrier waveforms such as FBMC, new multiple access schemes such as NOMA, new ultra-low latency FEC coding approaches, and also exploiting iterative decoding methods. Radio propagation modelling is also considered, especially for MIMO, Massive MIMO and millimetre-wave systems.
