3 PhD Scholarships in Wireless Device Coordination, EURECOM, France (2016-2017)

The candidates will tackle original cross-disciplinary research covering a range of objectives, such as for instance:
(i) Understanding the fundamental limits of coordination (i.e. how close can agents come to a centralized solution of some payoff maximization problem) among devices that must cope with noisy distributed side-information.

(ii) Application of coordination theory and algorithm design in the context of autonomous wireless devices. The devices can be wireless user terminals, moving relays, autonomous robots communicating via wireless.

(iii) Cooperative mobile network analysis, in the context of 5G and beyond. The candidate will seek the use of information theoretic and other methods to analyze the capacity of wireless systems, where the capacity is enhanced via coordination and cooperation among the wireless devices, while such coordination relies on limited communication capability across the devices.
