RESEARCH STRANDS
Using Data to Drive Networking
We are interested in exploiting data science and machine learning to drive network optimization from design to deployment to operations. Our long-term goal is to develop new algorithms to tackle complex high-dimensional optimization problems in wireless networks. The €1.1m project spans 4 years and involves universities and SMEs from Europe, USA, and China. You can read on to find out more about these projects below.
TRAFFIC & MOBILITY MODELS
November, 2017
In an effort to gain a better understanding of the world around us, we have recently begun to use structured data analytics tailored to urban geography as a new technique to investigate human data demand and mobility patterns. We are currently looking to expand this work by collaborating with other labs who have data and use models to drive proactive optimization.
MINING CONSUMER EXPERIENCE
November 2017
Consumer experience and satisfaction drive profit margins and the wider digital economy. We have developed Natural Language Processing tools specifically to target wireless consumer satisfaction. A major advantage of social media analysis is to reduce customer feedback lag and directly use the data to inform infrastructure design and deployment.
NETWORK SELF ORGANISATION
November 2017
As we increase network complexity, we must allow networks to self-organize and optimize. Using data from traffic demand and consumer experience, we can personalize network services. In turn, this can further inform and improved data collection.
MOBILE EDGE CACHING & COMPUTING
November 2017
Develop mechanisms and exploit node storage capabilities for proactive caching of content closer to the end-users, improve content delivery, and reduce congestion in the backhaul. Develop proactive caching algorithms for D2D communications and support user-end MEC.
