Objective of Proposal Idea:
The idea is to develop and test decentralized edge/modular data centres at the edge of the network. These would be smaller data centres than traditional ones and consume less power. Currently there is much debate in Ireland about the amount of electricity large data centres consume. In this case data would be disaggregated across the data centres, so that if one data centre failed because of lack of power, unfavourable weather conditions or a cybersecurity attack, data would fall back to an alternative data centre. Communications lines would also fall back to a second data centre. Data Centers would also[...]

Company Name: Istanbul Medipol University - CoSiNC
Expertise offered:
Efficient management of multi-dimensional resources has gained new aspects as inevitable results of the overlapping and coexistence of many communication systems. New waveforms approaches exploiting the complementary features of multi-dimensional resources emerge to be a tempting solution to break the bottleneck in the physical layer toward heterogeneous networks. In this context, novel waveform designs to fulfill the requirements of heterogeneous networks constitute our main research interests. Toward this ultimate point, our scope ranges from the fundamental properties of the waveforms (e.g., pulse shapes, orthogonality, nonorthogonality, time-frequency lattice, delay-Doppler-angular resolution) to the frame structures in the transmission. We investigate not only[...]
