Wireless Research Lab

BACKGROUND

Future wireless networks will allow people on the move to communicate with anyone, anywhere, at any time, using a range of multimedia services. The Wireless Research Laboratory is engaged in research and education in the broad area of wireless communications and networking, as to provide ubiquitous access to wired and wireless resources for mobile and wireless multimedia users.

OBJECTIVES

The Wireless Communications Laboratory was setup with the following objectives:

• To conduct lab classes at the graduate level and advanced undergraduate level and to carry out related project work.
• To support research activity in the area of wireless communications.
• To develop killer-applications of interest to the industry.
• To offer short-term courses for the industry and academia.

RESEARCH AREAS

The Wireless Communication Laboratory is engaged in research in the following areas:

• Physical Layer Security
• 5G Security
• IoT Security
• Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems and Space Time codes
• Broadband Wireless Access
• Software Defined Radio (SDR)
• Ultra Wideband (UWB) Communications

CURRENT PROJECTS

Current ongoing projects in the lab include setting up of an IoT test bed, Security of Smart Meters, Prototypes for Physical Layer Security.

Past projects include the Development of a UWB communications prototype, Development of Wideband antennas, Security issues in energy-constrained sensor networks and the Development of Software Defined Radios.

Our research activities are supported by generous grants from the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Ministry for Human Resource Development (MHRD), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and SAMSUNG India.
