The IoT lab achieves two new projects
The IoT lab has achieved two new projects in line with its research of improving IoT networks performance.
From the beginning, the IoT lab has focused on exploring new concepts, technologies and communication paradigms applied to wireless networks. In the field of Internet of Things (IoT) research, we focus on the design and evaluation of new link and network protocols, improving service quality and energy efficiency and the network's self-configuration, among other aspects. These concepts, that are considered the main basis of the IoT, will be evaluated in the framework of the two new RIS3CAT emerging technologies projects in which IoT lab will collaborate.
Within the Looming Factory project, coordinated by UPC, our work will be focused on the Connected Factory subproject, where we will focus on communication systems. The difficulties of deploying IoT networks in industrial environments, provides a good opportunity to evaluate the new Machine Learning techniques developed by the group to improve the performance of these networks.
In the FEM IoT project, coordinated by I2CAT, the IoT lab will be part of the subproject Connected Streets' Infrastructure, where an integrated, multi-technology and flexible ICT infrastructure will be sought. However, we will also focus on achieving low-consumption IoT technologies, a key concept in which our group dedicates part of its research. Within this project, we will develop a network of environmental sensors to obtain reliable and real-time information on pollution levels in a restricted area within the Poblenou superblock in order to measure the impact of new mobility policies.
Both projects are funded by the Generalitat de Catalunya supported by the European Regional Development Funds.
