Description du projet
Des systèmes d’antennes avancés pour améliorer la couverture sans fil
Les réseaux sans fil de nouvelle génération sont censés repousser les limites des systèmes terrestres actuels, en fournissant des services continus partout et à tout moment et en assurant une couverture dans des zones inaccessibles à tout réseau terrestre classique. Le projet ANTERRA, financé par le programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie, vise à remédier au manque d’expertise en matière de communication non terrestre dans l’industrie des télécommunications. Quinze doctorants recevront une formation sur les systèmes d’antennes pour les réseaux non terrestres, un élément clé pour obtenir une couverture véritablement mondiale. ANTERRA a établi un réseau de formation bien structuré avec les principaux laboratoires de R&D des industries, universités et instituts technologiques européens du domaine.
Objectif
Our society is on the brink of a new age with the development of new visionary concepts such as internet of things, autonomous driving, and coverage everywhere. This stimulates the use of new deployment concepts, such as Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), to support the wireless communication evolution. For 6G, a key use case which stands unaddressed by prior telecommunication generations, is that of coverage everywhere. A major candidate to solve this issue, is to deploy a network of satellites in an NTN configuration, which is front hauled by a high-gain gateway cell in order to serve rural and remote areas which up until now is lacking coverage. Here, especially novel energy efficient antenna systems are required to track fast moving satellites while meeting the cost targets of the consumer market. One of the major reasons for not addressing this thus far is the lack of expertise about non-terrestrial communication in the classical (terrestrial) telecommunication industry, which underpins the urgent need for a cross-disciplinary industrial doctorate network.
ANTERRA establishes a unique and well-structured training network with leading R&D labs from European industries, universities and technology institutes in the domain of antenna systems for terrestrial as well as non-terrestrial applications. The 15 ESRs will form a research team that is embedded in leading industrial and academic R&D labs. The programme will strongly enhance the employability and career prospects of the ESRs by offering a high-quality consortium with in-depth training in the technical areas as well as a comprehensive set of transferable skills relevant for innovation and long-term employability. The ESRs will all spend at least 18 months of their time at industry, ensuring that the training includes a significant industrial experience and application.
