PhD studentship on Advanced Communication and Networking in Connected Vehicles (2017)

Connected vehicle is a research area of significant importance in our increasingly mobile, intelligent and interconnected world. With multiple disciplines and emerging technologies, revolutionary changes and improvements have been done to our transportation systems, which will significantly enhance our travel experience in safety, efficiency, and eco-environment and make our mobility more enjoyable, comfortable, and sustainable.

Current research activities in the design of connected vehicles include large-scale distributed sensors networks, advanced in-vehicle, Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication systems, cooperative communications technologies, heterogeneous networks, and networked electric vehicle, etc.

This project will focus on innovative research in radio signals access and resources allocation, protocol and QoS solutions of vehicular networks to tackle the challenges and shape the next generation 5G communication technologies for connected vehicles.
