Descripción del proyecto
Formación para la nueva generación de expertos en el sector del automóvil europeo
La nueva radio 5G (5G NR, por sus siglas en inglés), diseñada para ser la norma global de la interfaz aérea de las redes 5G y el método de conexión físico para la comunicación basada en radio, está revolucionando la manera en que se envían y se reciben los datos. Por ejemplo, todos los teléfonos móviles convierten la voz en sonido digital mediante ondas de radio. El proyecto ITN-5VC, financiado con fondos europeos, abordará la necesidad de desarrollar comunicaciones avanzadas y capacidades de conducción autónoma en los vehículos. Once investigadores noveles trabajarán con los principales fabricantes industriales y académicos para investigar los problemas que surgen de la integración de las comunicaciones multiantena y multibanda, incluidas las ondas milimétricas, con cabezas radar y otros sensores inalámbricos. El objetivo es garantizar que las cadenas de transmisión y los sistemas de radiación se utilizan de forma eficiente y ofrecen el rendimiento necesario.
Objetivo
The imminent need of deploying advanced communication and autonomous driving capabilities in vehicles is turning the race towards the realization of the so called fifth generation new radio (5G NR) networks into a real odyssey for the European automotive industry. The challenges arising from the coexistence of MIMO systems on vehicles, the growing number of sensors and radars and cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) in the realm of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications are piling up. Many of them have not been solved yet due to the lack of qualified personnel with joint expertise in communications and sensing technologies. Thus, the acute need of the proposed ITN-5VC project, a European Industrial Doctorate (EID) training network, arises.
ITN-5VC aims to investigate the key problems of the integration of multi-band multi-antenna communications, including mmWave, with radar heads and other wireless sensors into the same telematics unit, so that transmission chains and radiation systems were efficiently reused in a cost-efficient manner while delivering the required performance. Multiple antenna deployment, joint operation and performance of the resulting automotive solution will be investigated by 11 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) working with top industrial manufacturers and academia in Europe. The training will tackle three main topics:
• Vehicular communications integrated with radar sensors for the sake of simplified telematics.
• Improved antenna and phased array technology deployment on the vehicle’s body or surface.
• Efficient protocol integration on V2X-specific system on chips for joint communication and sensing deployment on vehicles.
ITN-5VC will apply a new training Programme that follows the EU principles for Innovative Doctoral Training. Additionally, ITN-5VC training will apply short term missions, periodic challenges and an ECTS credit competition to boost the participation and engagement of the students to the Programme.
