Enquadramento
The work to be performed in integrated within the PT2020 project MobiWise and aims at the development of energy-efficient, reliable and scalable communication mechanisms for 5G networks.
Objetivo
Large-Scale Highly-Dense Networks will emerge within the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G networks. This highly dense heterogeneous networking scenario can cause a rapid exhaustion on node’s resources and reduce the device and network lifetime due to the huge amounts of data generated and that needs to be transferred across the network. It also poses serious challenges in terms of scalability and reliability. There is thus the need to target efficient communications in dense networks to improve network and node survivability. This can be achieved through the control of relaying and communication functions, supported by software-defined networking. The master's thesis work will consist in developing and evaluating algorithms for energy efficient communications, while satisfying reliability, scalability and low latency requirements.
