Explore fully funded PhD positions in AI-Assisted Physical Layer Security in Ireland. Join us to advance your research in this cutting-edge field!
When studying the physical layer of communication systems and their security, researchers have traditionally relied on mathematical models that are strictly rigorous about the system and the environmental conditions. These methods are based upon different assumptions that decrease the accuracy of models under conditions such as high dynamics of wireless surroundings.
As the complexity of the environment, and the demand for more efficient and adaptable/re-configurable physical layers, increases in the context of 5G and 6G, traditional approaches become less effective.
