Descrizione del progetto
Sistemi di antenne avanzati per migliorare la copertura wireless
Secondo quanto previsto, la prossima generazione di reti wireless dovrebbe infrangere i limiti degli attuali sistemi terrestri, fornendo servizi fluidi ovunque e in qualsiasi momento e offrendo una copertura in zone non raggiungibili dalle reti terrestri tradizionali. Il progetto ANTERRA, finanziato dal programma di azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, si propone di affrontare la carenza di competenze nella comunicazione non terrestre all’interno del settore delle telecomunicazioni. Quindici dottorandi riceveranno formazione inerente ai sistemi di antenne per le reti non terrestri, un fattore abilitante chiave per raggiungere realmente una copertura globale. ANTERRA ha istituito una rete di formazione ben strutturata con laboratori di ricerca e innovazione di punta facenti capo a industrie, università e istituti tecnologi europei specializzati in questo ambito.
Obiettivo
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.
