ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”: WP2, Task 2.1 ________________________________________________ Task 2.1: Cooperative and energy-efficient beamforming techniques 3 ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”, Εναρκτήρια συνάντηση, Πάτρα 03/10/2012

ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”: WP2, Task 2.1 (cont.) ________________________________________________ Beamforming: General transmission technique where proper pre-coding and post-coding matrices are used. These matrices are computed by solving constrained optimization problems. Constraints related to Quality of Communication and Consumed Power The distributed nature of the problem makes it different than MIMO Beamforming Interference Alignment (IA): Generally speaking, an IA technique aligns the interference signals to a subspace orthogonal to the one of the signals of interest at the intended receiver. Research directions: - Algorithm design for distributed beamforming - Adaptive techniques for IA - Minimize the required Channel State Information at the TX (and RX) nodes 4 ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”, Εναρκτήρια συνάντηση, Πάτρα 03/10/2012

ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”: WP2, Task 2.2 ________________________________________________ 5 ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”, Εναρκτήρια συνάντηση, Πάτρα 03/10/2012 Task 2.2: Cooperative and opportunistic techniques for cognitive networks

ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”: WP2, Task 2.2 (cont.) ________________________________________________ Cognitive Radio Networks: Cognitive radio technology refers to systems that are aware of their environment and capable of reconfiguring themselves to reach certain objectives. Primary (licenced) and Secondary Users In overlay CR networks, the secondary users monitor the spectrum and access it only when they sense an unused slot. In underlay CR networks, the secondary users are allowed to utilize the same frequency spectrum as the primary users in a carefully controlled manner. Research directions:  Cooperative (and distributed) spectrum sensing.  Track the spatio-temporal evolution of the sensed channels (adaptive channel gain cartography). Shadow and Rayleigh channel prediction.  Cooperative beamforming for CRN.  Inter Cell Interference Coordination (macrocell and femtocell) 6 ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”, Εναρκτήρια συνάντηση, Πάτρα 03/10/2012

ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”: WP2, Task 2.3 ________________________________________________ 8 ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”, Εναρκτήρια συνάντηση, Πάτρα 03/10/2012 Task 2.3: Cross-layer routing techniques for different degrees of channel state information

ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”: WP2, Task 2.3 (cont.) ________________________________________________ Cross-layer design: To fully optimize wireless broadband networks, both the challenges from the physical medium and the QoS-demands from the applications have to be taken into account. Rate, power and coding at the physical layer can be adapted to meet the requirements of the applications given the current channel and network conditions. Knowledge has to be shared between (all) layers to obtain the highest possible adaptivity. Possible research directions:  Opportunistic User Scheduling for Rate Maximization in CRN.  New routing techniques which take into account the estimated channel map evolution (in time / frequency / space).  Distributed Source Coding 9 ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”, Εναρκτήρια συνάντηση, Πάτρα 03/10/2012

ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”: WP2, Task 2.5 ________________________________________________ 12 ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”, Εναρκτήρια συνάντηση, Πάτρα 03/10/2012 Task 2.5: On the interaction between power grid and communication network Smart grid

ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”: WP2, Task 2.5 (cont.) ________________________________________________ Smart Grid (the power grid of the future): An electric system that uses information, two-way cyber-secure communication technologies, and computational intelligence, in an integrated fashion, across electricity generation, transmission, distribution and consumption to achieve an operation that is clean, safe, secure, reliable, resilient, efficient, and sustainable. The main idea: A communication network that has access to information concerning the energy grid state could plan its operations so as to optimize the energy consumption (e.g., from the regenerative resources). On the other hand, the com. network, could provide information to the power network concerning its current and forecasted needs at its different parts so as the power network to distribute the required energy in the most efficient way. Main goal: to identify, through an inter-network study, the conditions under which the communications network can be interfaced with the energy grid and how the desired information can be extracted and exploited. 13 ΘΑΛΗΣ – “ENDECON”, Εναρκτήρια συνάντηση, Πάτρα 03/10/2012
