YOUR TASKS: For the (faculty/department/research group) we are looking for a Doctoral fellow in the field of Specialized Time-Sensitive Wireless Connectivity for Demanding Markets. Within the faculty of Engineering and Architecture, the IDLab research group (［会员资料链接］) performs research on internet technologies and data science. In these areas, we focus on foundations, system design, and applications. IDLab collaborates with many universities and research centers worldwide and jointly develops advanced technologies with industry. IDLab has a unique research infrastructure used in numerous national and international collaborations. IDLab is also a core research group of imec, the world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies. IDLab staff counts about 50 professors, 60 post-doc researchers, 200 PhD researchers and 40 other staff members. These are spread over about 20 research teams. The research will be conducted within the Intelligent Wireless Networking (iWiNe) team (［会员资料链接］), internationally recognized for its work on openwifi and wireless Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) (see (［会员资料链接］ and ［会员资料链接］ . Future digital infrastructures are increasingly relying on wireless connectivity for applications that require stringent timing guarantees, including industrial automation, robotics, professional audio and video production, autonomous systems, and critical cyber-physical infrastructures. While wireless technologies have become ubiquitous, they still struggle to provide the deterministic behavior, synchronization accuracy, reliability, and predictability required by these demanding markets. In the FWO SBO project 6GSpecNet, we aim to further develop the foundations of future wireless communication systems capable of delivering application-specific connectivity guarantees. The project will investigate how future 6G networks can evolve beyond best-effort communication towards specialized connectivity services offering well-defined latency, reliability, synchronization, and availability characteristics. A key enabler for this research is openwifi, IDLab’s open-source full-stack Wi-Fi implementation that runs on system-on-chip FPGA platforms ( ［会员资料链接］) . Openwifi provides full access to the wireless protocol stack and hardware implementation, making it a unique research platform for exploring and validating future wireless communication concepts. Building on ongoing developments in openwifi and already available Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) extensions, this PhD will investigate novel mechanisms that bring deterministic communication capabilities to wireless networks, thereby spanning the entire protocol stack (from digital baseband to application level) and end-to-end wired-wireless system. The candidate will contribute both to the scientific foundations and to the practical realization of these technologies through implementation on the openwifi platform and validation in advanced wireless experimentation facilities. You will: Study state-of-the-art technologies in deterministic wireless networking, next-generation Wi-Fi, Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and demanding application domains (e.g. industrial automation, robotics, etc.). Design novel mechanisms that provide predictable latency, reliability, synchronization accuracy, and service continuity. These mechanisms can range from digital baseband (PHY) and low-level MAC functionalities on FPGA platforms (e.g. RFSoC) to higher-layer networking enablers running in a Linux environment. Design resource allocation, scheduling, synchronization, and traffic management mechanisms for mission-critical wireless systems that span the full end-to-end wireless-wired TSN system. Implement and validate proof-of-concept solutions using advanced testbeds, real-world demonstrators, and experimental platforms. Closely collaborate with other researchers at IDLab. Publish research results in leading international conferences and journals. Collaborate with industrial stakeholders representing demanding application sectors. Assist in limited educational tasks of the research group
