Description du projet
Former la prochaine génération d’experts dans l’industrie automobile européenne
Conçu pour être la norme mondiale pour l’interface air des réseaux 5G, la 5G NR (5G nouvelle radio), la méthode de connexion physique pour la communication radio, révolutionne la façon dont les données sont envoyées et reçues. À titre d’exemple, tous les téléphones mobiles convertissent la voix en son numérique grâce aux ondes radio. Le projet ITN-5VC, financé par l’UE, répondra au besoin de déployer des capacités de communication avancées et de conduite autonome dans les véhicules. Onze chercheurs en début de carrière travailleront avec des industriels et des universitaires de premier plan pour étudier les problèmes qui découlent de l’intégration de communications multibandes et multi-antennes, y compris les ondes millimétriques, avec des têtes de radar et d’autres capteurs sans fil. Leur objectif sera de garantir que les chaînes de transmission et les systèmes de rayonnement sont réutilisés de manière efficace et offrent les performances requises.
Objectif
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.
