Wireless Networks Lab

WNL team describes a pioneering framework enabling Massive URLLC applications in 5G networks, which they have developed in 2018. Providing Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) is one of the key challenges for 5G systems, which requires the redesign of both radio access technologies and the architectures. While 3GPP and the research community focus mainly on radio low layer functionality and architectural changes that enable URLLC, WNL Lab proposes a novel cross-layer framework that extends the already standardized 5G solutions to support a very massive number of users/flows in the system.

Megagrant Leader Prof. Ian F. Akyildiz and WNL Head Evgeny Khorov have participated in a world-famous event «Celebrating 50 Years of the ALOHA System and the Future of Networking». The scientific symposium was held in Santa Clara, Silicon Valley Campus, CA, the USA on January 24, 2020. The hosting organization of the event was the University of California, Santa Cruz. Prof. Ian F. Akyildiz was one of the invited speakers and gave a fruitful talk on section «Research Directions after The ALOHA System». The talk presented by Prof. Akyildiz was titled «All roads lead to ALOHA» and it lighted up ALOHA protocol as one of the basic building blocks in the protocols for 3G/4G/5G multimedia networks, wireless sensor networks, underwater and underground communication networks, wireless mesh networks and satellite networks.

2020 starts with wonderful news. At the beginning of the year, four papers were accepted in top scientific journals. Congratulations and gratitude for the great results to the entire WNL team!

The Moscow Financial Forum will be held in the Manege Central Exhibition Hall in Moscow on September 12 – 13, 2019. This is an annual event organized by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation and the Government of Moscow. Head of Wireless Networks Lab Evgeny Khorov will participate in the promising discussion dedicated to the potential of the young generation. The title of the session is «Youth as the main resource for achieving national goals».

Head of Wireless Networks Lab Evgeny Khorov has presented tutorial entitled «Wi-Fi in the 2020s» at the 30th 2019 Annual IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications which was held in Istanbul, Turkey. The talk opened a conference tutorial session on September 8, 2019.
