Project Rationale and Description
Low latency is one of the key features that makes the current 5G technology clearly outstanding among other generations of wireless communications networks. The future of Industry 4.0 applications, mass Internet of Things, Smart healthcare, Autonomous driving, and Robotic applications will heavily depend on near “real-time”, i.e. extreme low-latency, performance of the wireless communications networks. Ultimately the future generation wireless network, 6G-and-beyond, will move towards ultra-reliable extremely low-latency communication. However, it is extremely challenging to achieve almost real time, i.e., no lag or extreme low latency, wireless communications due to the typically narrow radio modulation bandwidth will require substantial amount of signal processing and parallel transmissions (MIMO) to achieve the target data rate. This will hinder the performance and reliability of real-time applications such as remote precision operations, virtual reality, autonomous aviation, or complex robotic tasks.

The optical spectrum is alternatively offering a huge available bandwidth that allows much less complex data processing to achieve ultrahigh speed data rate. It is envisaged that the optical bandwidth aggregation to the radio counterpart will significantly boost the overall 6G-and-beyond spectrum as well as drastically reduce the overall system latency.

This project will investigate and design a framework to tackle the latency issue in future wireless systems. The aim of this project is to develop a novel system including novel data link layer and physical layer for handling the radio and optical spectrum aggregation allowing to achieve extreme low-latency feature. In particular, the different dynamic features of radio and optical communication channels will be analyzed and used to design a deterministic low-latency link for industrial applications.

The proposed project will require to have a motivated PhD student to carry out the work, both in modelling and practical testing. The PhD student is expected to conduct interdisciplinary research from the perspective of radio and optical communications by means of signal processing, network optimization, machine learning, and artificial intelligent (AI). The research development and outcomes will be verified at the 5G communication testbed at Scotland 5G centre of the Glasgow University, and at Photonics laboratory at Northumbria University. In addition, this project will link with National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, Japan). The PhD candidate would frequently visit Scotland 5G centre and could potentially carry out internship at NICT’s millimetre-wave and photonics labs.

Funding Details: a full stipend, paid for three years at RCUK rates (for 2019/20, this is ￡15,009 per year) and full tuition fees.

Principal Supervisor: Dr. Emma (Liying) Li, Second Supervisor: Dr. Hoa Le Minh
Eligibility and How to Apply:
Please note eligibility requirement:
• Academic excellence of the proposed student i.e. 2:1 (or equivalent GPA from non-UK universities [preference for 1st class honours]); or a Masters (preference for Merit or above); or APEL evidence of substantial practitioner achievement.
• Appropriate IELTS score, if required.
• Applicants cannot apply for this funding if currently engaged in Doctoral study at Northumbria or elsewhere.
Please send your CV and cover letter directly to Dr. Emma Li
(emma.li@northumbria.ac.uk). For further details of how to apply, entry requirements and the application form, see
https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/re ... grees/how-to-apply/

This is a fully funded PhD project for any student (including UK, EU, and international students) and the position would be filled quickly. Please contact Dr. Emma Li as soon as possible. We will make a decision once we have a satisfied candidate.

The student could start the PhD as early as spring 2021.
