We have two fully funded PhD positions are at King’s College London, Institute of Telecommunications, under the supervision of Dr Vasilis Friderikos and co-supervision of Dr Katerina Papadaki (Management Science Group, Department of Management, LSE). The students can start as early as January 2013.
 
The PhD scholarships pay the student fees and have a research assistance salary of approximately 2000 Euros.
 
We are looking for PhD students that have a background in Wireless Networks and also have some knowledge of optimization methods (ideally students that have electrical engineering undergraduate degrees and have taken some optimization courses).
 
If a student is interested please get in touch with Dr Vasilis Friderikos (vasilis.friderikos@kcl.ac.uk), or if he is not available Dr Katerina Papadaki (k.p.papadaki@lse.ac.uk).
 
The description of the project is shown below.
 
CROSSFIRE, a newly launched FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network,
offers twelve fully-funded PhD positions in six European countries.
Under an architectural and component level perspective, the project
approaches the emerging Long-Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) network,
which will be populated by uncoordinated and vast number of small cells
(micro, pico and femtocells). We primary aim to provide a holistic
understanding on issues such as co-channel interference from randomly
located small cells (unplanned deployment), efficient utilization of the
scarce spectrum (via cognition), self-organization (SON) and QoE at the
end users, under the assumption that LTE-A networks share a common
physical infrastructure. CROSSFIRE will analyze and propose network
virtualization solutions, a technology which is envisioned to transform
the operation of cellular networks in the years to come.
