Descrizione del progetto
Formare la prossima generazione di esperti nell’industria automobilistica europea
Concepito per essere lo standard globale per l’interfaccia aerea delle reti 5G, 5G NR (nuova radio 5G), il metodo di connessione fisica per la comunicazione via radio, sta rivoluzionando il modo in cui i dati vengono inviati e ricevuti. Ad esempio, tutti i telefoni cellulari convertono la voce in suono digitale utilizzando le onde radio. Il progetto ITN-5VC, finanziato dall’UE, affronterà la necessità di implementare capacità di comunicazione avanzate e di guida autonoma nei veicoli. Undici ricercatori in fase iniziale di carriera lavoreranno con i principali produttori industriali e studiosi per approfondire i problemi che derivano dall’integrazione di comunicazioni multi-banda e multi-antenna, tra cui mmWave, con teste radar e altri sensori wireless. L’obiettivo è garantire che le catene di trasmissione e i sistemi di radiazione siano riutilizzati in modo efficiente e forniscano le prestazioni richieste.
Obiettivo
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.
