Our research lab, named Future Intelligent Network and Communications (FineCom) Laboratory, is established by Dr. Yijie (Lina) Mao in September, 2021. We mainly focus on the research field of wireless communication networks with emphasis on the potential key technologies for beyond 5G. Our research interests include (but not limited to):

  • MIMO communication systems
    Transceiver design, multi-user interference management, resource allocation.

  • Rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA)
    The theory, architectures, and applications of RSMA.

  • Artificial Intelligence-empowered wireless communication networks (AI + 6G)
    The use of machine learning and deep learning to design efficient algorithms for resource allocation in wireless networks.
    The use of wireless strategies for distributed learning and federated learning.

  • Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS)
    Phase-shift design, beamforming design, and channel estimation for RIS-aided wireless networks.
    The interplay of RIS with emerging 6G strategies.

  • Space-Air-Ground Integrated Network (SAGIN)
    Interference management, user scheduling, and cooperative transmission design.

Course Introduction

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has opened a new era of “intelligent wireless networks”, which pushes forward the use of AI technologies to resolve the challenges such as network planning, operation, management and troubleshooting in wireless networks. The development of intelligent wireless networks has been growing explosively and is becoming one of the biggest trends in related academic, research, and industry communities. This course is designed for postgraduate students who are working on the frontiers of wireless communication networks. This course aims at delivering a comprehensive overview of ML, and its application to deal with various problems in the physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers of communication networks such as transceiver design, channel estimation, prediction, and compression, resource allocation, semantic communications, distributed and federated learning and communications, etc.
