CK-1 PhD Researcher – Security of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) enabled Wireless Networks.
Contract: Full Time/Fixed Term
About us
Tyndall Wireless Communications Laboratory (wilab/): Tyndall's Dublin-based Wireless Communications Laboratory addresses the fundamental research challenges in future wireless communication systems, with focus both on theoretical and practical aspects of the classical communication topics RF, Access, and Protocols, as well as cross domain topics on AI and Quantum research, which will gain increasing importance in the future.
The resulting innovations will enable ultra-flexible, ultra-fast, and ultra- reliable low latency communication for next generation IoT communications, Wi- Fi, 5G, 6G and beyond.
The Research Area
Future wireless networks will support many emerging services, such as, remote healthcare, indoor localization, factory automation, Wi-Fi sensing, unmanned aerial vehicles, and autonomous driving. These applications demand precise sensing and localization. Traditionally, sensing and communication systems are designed separately. However, due to the rapid proliferation of wireless devices and mobile services, the frequency spectrum is becoming increasingly congested. Therefore, integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems are becoming popular. ISAC designs sensing and communication functionality jointly by considering the shared spectrum, energy, and hardware resources. As information-bearing signals are reused for the purpose of sensing, the sensing signal itself is susceptible to eavesdropping by targets. Therefore, the aim of the project is to secure the ISAC transmission from eavesdropping. Deviating from the traditional methods of providing security through cryptography which require secret key management and heavy computation, the security in ISAC will be provided at signal level through physical layer security (PLS) techniques.
