The Cooperative Revolution in Wireless
It is hard to avoid wireless devices today. Just think about how you
stay in touch with your loved ones when abroad, how your laptop computer
connects to the Internet, how you open your car or garage, how you exchange mp3
files between mobile phones, how the satellite navigation systems work, how you
pass through the gates of a skilift, how you monitor you heart rate when
working out and how you enter ETH at after-hours (if you ever have this weird
intention).
As you see, we worked hard and now everything is known in wireless ...
but wait a moment!
As a student you definitely love open-air concerts. So you may have
experienced yourself what has long been known in social sciences: the behaviour
of large groups (networks) changes radically if the node density exceeds a
critical threshold. What happens
beyond this threshold – fun, smooth flow, chaos – depends on the
amount of cooperation between the nodes involved.
What is true for humans also holds
for wireless networks. With cooperation between the nodes in dense network we
can achieve performance improvements, that challenge conventional wisdom. Cooperative
wireless is a
new paradigm in wireless communication and the work of our group is focused on
this area. We are pushing the frontiers of wireless communication in terms of low
power/low cost (sensor networks), size (nano-networks) and performance (Gigabit
wireless) by exploiting cooperation on the Physical layer and the MAC layer and
by ultra-wideband operation.
If you want to be part of the
cooperative revolution, you will enjoy the following list of available Master-
and Student Project. Make your choice, rush to the respective supervisor and
get started before somebody else is faster than you. But relax, if you are too
late we are always happy to come up with new topics that perfectly suit your
interests. Just ask.
