Metasurface-based Electronically Steerable Antenna arrays for Next Generation EHF Systems – MESANGES
The use of spectrum in millimeter bands is becoming essential to enable future wireless networks to offer significant capacity gains. However, as propagation losses become significant, antenna and beam formation become key elements in maintaining a reasonable range and limited infrastructure costs.
Large dataset transfer between datacenters – PicNic
Large dataset transfer from one datacenter to another is still an open issue. Currently, the most efficient solution is the exchange of a hard drive with an express carrier, as proposed by Amazon with its SnowBall offer. Recent evolutions regarding datacenter interconnects announce bandwidths from
Self Management of Fog Resources – SeMaFoR
Fog Computing is a new paradigm aiming to decentralize the Cloud by geographically distributing away computation, storage and network resources as well as related services. The main gains are twofold: 1) avoid network bottlenecks and single points of failure; 2) keep the data as close as possible to
Towards zero-latency linear video coding – ZL-LVC
Video-based services involved in tactile internet (vehicle teleoperation, remote surgery…) require data exchange with an end-to-end latency of a few milliseconds. While 5G provides significantly reduced latency for the access network, video acquisition, coding, long-range transmission, and decoding
Intelligent orchestrated security and privacy-aware slicing for 5G and beyond vehicular networks – 5G-INSIGHT
Network slicing is considered as the key technology of an agile Vehicle-to-everything use-case deployment. However, most deployments in Europe focus on evaluating the network performance and ignore the security and privacy aspects, notably in a cross-border scenario. Building on key 5G technologies
Efficient implementation and optimization of adVanced messAge paSsing-based receIvers fOr future wireless Networks – EVASION
Recently, the academic and even the industrial community has showed a renewed interest in approximate Bayesian inference and derivative message passing techniques, thanks to new interference cancellation receivers based on expectation propagation (EP). These emerging solutions have shown near optima
Turbo decoding with Less Energy, Area and more Parallelism for higher throughput – TurboLEAP
B5G applications call for higher throughput (TP), lower power consumption and more scalability which translates to stringent constraints for the Forward Error Correction. For next generation standards, Turbo codes are losing ground to LDPC and Polar codes despite their inherent rate-flexibility and
Updating hypervisors in cloud data centers – WalkIn
Updating and maintaining hypervisors are tricky operations, but very common in data centers. Virtual machine (VM) migration is the main tool in the update process. VMs on servers are migrated to third-party servers, the hypervisor update is performed, and the VMs are retransferred. Although it is fu
Multi-users wireless access techniques fOr MassivE machiNe-Type communications – MOMENT
Telecommunications have experienced a paradigm shift in the past decades with the advent of Internet or things (IoT). With this new huge market, a lot of several interesting challenges have emerged, particularly with the potential inclusion of the IoT world in the future fifth generation of cellular
Methods of Analysis for Verification of Quantitative properties – MAVEriQ
The variety of challenges laid down by software-driven systems (in particular cyber-physical systems) call all the time for new techniques for assessing their performance, safety and security. Beyond the Boolean question whether a given system satisfies these properties, one would rather ask how muc
INTelligent Edge using Learning Loops & Information GEneration for NeTwork State Inference-based Automation – INTELLIGENTSIA
In the era of network softwarization, INTELLIGENTSIA objective is to fast move towards automation of end-to-end network operations by leveraging advanced learning algorithms able to scale with large-scale virtualized networks and to meet control and operations requirements of massive IoT use-cases.
F3CAS: Rethinking FPGA-Accelerated Computer Architecture Simulation for Data Storage Exploration – F3CAS
Modern high-performance mobile computing architectures spend more than 60% of the energy on data storage and movement. However, fundamental limitations in existing evaluation tools hinder the road to innovation in memory systems. Accordingly, this project proposes a new paradigm to build user-Friend
Toward Automated Vulnerability Analysis – TAVA
The Internet of Things opens a new era of global and powerful attacks carried out by compromised devices. Manual responses cannot deal with the increased danger that these threats represent. It is therefore necessary to use automatic methods for vulnerability detection, in particular to replay
