The i2cat Foundation is looking for a Researcher in Green ISAC Systems for Future Networks to join our AI-driven Systems research area.6G Networks should enable the Internet of Senses as society evolves towards its full digitalization.
Wireless-based Sensing will thus become a key technology to fulfill the Digital Twins vision across industries, but the need for deploying dedicated equipment for this purpose and its corresponding intensive processing might jeopardize its implementation in practice.
Furthermore, enabling such a vision requires ubiquitous connectivity, intelligence, awareness, and flexibility, also threatening its implementation due to cost and energy efficiency reasons.In this research line, the system requirements for ISAC systems will be reviewed and defined.
Furthermore, 6G Networks enable the possibility to integrate the function of sensing and communication together in one system that will share resources in frequency, time, energy, and computing domains.
The work will focus on the design of Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) systems that are needed to guarantee that such 6G vision can be met in a cost-efficient manner while significantly contributing to the "Green Deal" objectives.Who we are:The i2CAT Foundation is a non-profit research and innovation center that promotes mission-driven RD activities on advanced Internet architectures, applications, and services.
