Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication is key application area of 5G, with the motivations to enhance road safety, traffic efficiency and environmental sustainability (considering the energy usage and emission of vehicles). V2X applications require 5G network technology to support both Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) services and non-URLLC services. The typically highly varying V2X communication environment, due to potential high-speed mobility of the vehicles, poses significant challenges for 5G to fulfil the requirements of the diverse V2X applications.
Beamforming and massive single/multi-user MIMO technologies are important 5G components to increase coverage, link quality and network capacity by steering radio signals towards targeted users and avoiding interference in unwanted directions. Adaptive beamforming is desired in V2X communications in order to dynamically react to the changes in radio propagations due to movement of the vehicles in terms of timely selecting the best possible beam direction and beam width, considering the impact of the latter on both the effective antenna gain and the robustness of the transmission. Such adaptivity comes at an overhead cost of (often frequent) control signalling via the air interface. It may be promising to develop Machine Learning (ML)-based beamforming optimization approaches striking an optimal trade-off between performance, complexity and signalling overhead.
The key objectives of the proposed graduation project are:
The graduation project is carried out as part of the European Horizon 2020 5G-HEART project. You will learn about the broader context of the overall project and will gain the necessary knowledge about both the V2X vertical application domain and mobile telecommunication technology.
