Biography
Fabien HELIOT received the Diplome d'ingénieur in Telecommunications from the Institut Supérieur de l’Electronique et du Numérique (ISEN), Toulon, France, and the PhD degree in Mobile Telecommunications from King’s College London, in 2002 and 2006, respectively. He is currently a Lecturer at the Institute for Communication Systems (ICS) of the University of Surrey, formerly known as CCSR. He has been actively involved in European Commission (EC) funded projects such as FIREWORKS, ROCKET, SMART-Net, LEXNET projects and in the award-winning EARTH project. He is currently involved in the UK-funded 5GIC project, a UK funded project on shaping the future of wireless communication, and the EU-funded 5GRFEX project about determining the EM exposure generated by 5G Masive MIMO base stations. His research interests include energy efficiency, EM exposure reduction, cooperative communication, MIMO, and radio resource management. He received an Exemplary Reviewer Award from IEEE COMMUNICATIONS LETTERS in 2011.
Areas of specialism
University roles and responsibilities
- Module leader for EEEM062 - Applied Mathematics for Communication Systems
Affiliations and memberships
ResearchResearch interests
- EMF exposure reduction for 5G technology
- Waveform design for Terra-Hertz communication
- MIMO-based relay technology for 5G
Research projects
Current radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure limits have become a critical concern for fourth generation (4G) and fifth generation (5G) mobile network deployment across Europe. Regulation is not harmonized and in certain countries and regions goes beyond the guidelines set out by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). This project will produce specific RF-EMF exposure measurement guidance for 5G Massive MIMO (multiple-input-multiple-output) base stations which will be disseminated to technical, business and regulatory communities to support the development of effective regulation and enable 5G implementation that balances performance with public safety.
