Place of Work

Centre for Wireless Communications (CWC) – Networks and Systems, Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland.

Job Background

Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) were considered as one of the key application scenarios in the 5G mobile communication systems with the requirement of extremely low latency and reliability (around 1 ms latency and up to 99.99999% reliability). Nevertheless, 5G URLLC does not fulfill all the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of diverse mission-critical applications like industrial automation, intelligent transportation, telemedicine, Tactile Internet, Virtual/Augmented Reality (VR/AR), and Meta-Universe. To provide satisfactory services to these applications, the concept of Deterministic Networking is gaining lots of momentum in 6G communication systems to meet the additional strict requirements of the emerging mission-critical applications. New technologies and novel theories need to be developed to satisfy the following objectives: 1) deterministic wireless throughput with high spectrum efficiency; 2) deterministic Quality of Service (QoS), e.g., bounded Age of Information, round-trip delay/jitter, and zero packet loss; 3) ultra-reliable and secure data delivery considering the network failure and attack; 4) high network availability and sustainability; 5) E2E network orchestration and performance guarantee by the coordination of multiple technologies or administration domains. The research on the adoption of DetNet in mobile networks is in its infancy and a myriad of challenging open issues, e.g., dynamic scheduling algorithm for time-sensitive flows, distributed learning architecture for time-sensitive flow configuration, scheduling and management, lie ahead.

Job Requirements

We are looking for highly-motivated students or postdoc researchers who are willing to acquire new knowledge/skills, master new technologies, and conduct high-quality research works, developing efficient approaches and algorithms that leverage DetNet, AI/ML techniques, SDN/NFV technologies, to facilitate the deterministic flow scheduling. We are seeking candidates with good analytical skills and relevant experience in any of the following: network switching and routing, software-defined networking, mathematical optimization, and machine learning. The candidates with expertise in programming languages (Python, C/C++, Java), ML frameworks (PyTorch), network simulators (Omnet, NS3) are always preferred.
