Semantic and intelligent physical layer

The vision of this research is to deliver a transformative artificial intelligence and signal processing technology that can make a paradigm shift of wireless communication systems design from the conventionally hand-engineered approaches to AI-engineered (or AI-inspired) approaches. The aim is to develop novel AI technologies for TN and NTN system identification and adaptation, new modulation and coding, semantic token communications, new MIMO, new RF technology, cell-free massive MIMO, integrated sensing and communications, and quantum-grade wireless.  

Overview

The key technical scope of this research includes AI/deep learning: 

  • Aided mmWave technology 
  • Aided large-massive MIMO technology 
  • For non-linear wireless systems design  
  • For non-terrestrial networks and terrestrial networks 
  • For semantic communication and sensing 
  • For quantum-grade wireless communication (SISO and MIMO) 
  • For ultra-reliable and low-latency communication 
  • Cyber-Physical communication 
  • For high-accuracy radio positioning and sensing.
