The project aims to develop new bandwidth-efficient index coding schemes to reduce network congestion. A large portion of the increasing internet traffic is due to video content browsing and distribution. This creates serious strains on the current network infrastructure, which is designed to support conventional data. It is crucial to explore new avenues to reduce the network congestion due to large file downloads. The project aims to tackle this problem by exploring new index coding techniques that are robust to failures in wireless and wired network links. Using advanced mathematical tools from algebraic number theory and module theory, the project aims to design optimally bandwidth-efficient index coding schemes that enable timely and reliable content distribution to end users.Read moreRead less

Space-time coding for multiple transmit and multiple receive antennas is the enabling technology for future wireless communication systems. Multiple antennas provide independent transmission paths resulting in an increased channel capacity without requiring costly additional bandwidth. Space-time block codes lead to the simplest receiver structures and thus to the most economical solutions. The currently known codes are based on the work of one of the CIs, but so far only a small part of that work has been utilised. We aim to fully exploit the potential of this theory and move the performance of wireless systems towards their theoretical limits.Read moreRead less
