OPERA Wireless Communication Group (OPERA-WCG)

OPERA-Wireless Communication Group activities focus on new technological solutions for emerging wireless communications systems. Its research aims at characterizing and modeling the communication channel, developing new coding and modulation techniques adapted to the channel characteristics, and defining innovative network architectures.

The wireless communications group owns expertise in three complementary domains : (i) the propagation channel characterization and modeling ; (ii) the signal processing for digital communications ; (iii) the network architectures. The strategic vision of the group is focused on the development of a unified research team able to tackle cross-layer telecommunication challenges ranging from the physics of propagation to the network architecture, passing through signal processing. The group participates actively to applied projects, in the fields of logistics, localization and radar processing.
