Summer School on Telecommunications: Where First Scientific Papers Are Born

Moscow, August 2025 — The joint summer school on telecommunications technologies is finalizing at the IITP RAS and MIPT. Talented 2nd and 3rd grade MIPT students are conducting full-fledged scientific research under the supervision of scientists from IITP RAS and MIPT.

This is not just a study — it is an intensive scientific practice. In just a few weeks, participants progress from problem formulations to publications in the proceedings of the ITaS-2025 conference. Expanded versions of these papers will later be submitted to leading scientific journals.

Each participant joined the summer school with ambitious goals:

  • To learn about the science behind the scenes — how research, peer review, and scientific collaborations really function;
  • To find like-minded peers — future co-authors and colleagues;
  • To write their first scientific paper.

The summer school offers participants a unique research experience: while working on their projects, they master all stages of paper preparation — from generating scientific ideas to navigating the nuances of reviewer interaction. The practice-oriented format enables participants to complete substantial research projects ready for journal submission by the school’s end.

The participants:

  • Fine-tune radio resource allocation for joint C-OFDMA and C-SR usage in Wi-Fi 8 networks;
  • Develop aggregation algorithms for a practical use in Wi-Fi 7 multi-link devices;
  • Create a model of a URLLC communication system with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces;
  • Optimize reconfigurable intelligent surface configuration while accounting for inter-cell interference.

For students, this is their first step into serious science. For the first time, they are tackling not textbook problems, but new scientific challenges that no one has solved before.

explains Evgeny Khorov, head of the Wireless Networks Lab at IITP RAS and Intelligent Telecommunication Systems Lab at MIPT.

We do not just teach telecommunications, we teach how to jointly use various facts from math, physics, computer science to solve complex problems. This is a valuable skill for developing their future careers.
