Context:
The acronym BAN (Body Area Networks) refers to communication networks
between nodes placed on the human body. They're at the heart of a very
dynamic research field, aiming to provide answers to the various issues
presented in such networks. They play a major role in future applications,
mainly in the medical (cardiac implants, various sensors…), sports (pulse
control, personal coach, post-training experience analysis…) and
multimedia fields. These applications are under intense scrutiny by
corporations nowadays, and it will not be long before BANs make their way
into our society to connect various on-body items.
The CITI laboratory is a contributor to the ANR (French National Research
Agency) BANET project, cooperating mainly with France Telecom and the CEA
research agency. The aim is to provide a technical model and appropriate
PHY and MAC protocols for Body Area Networks, depending on various real
life usages. This work parallels and completes the IEEE 802.15.6
standardization effort.
Work description
In a post-doctoral position, you will have to :
- Specify a dedicated protocol (physical and MAC layer, considering the
routing layer eventually)
- Validate the protocol through our in-house simulator, WSNet
- Study BAN coexistence (inter-BAN communication) and the associated issues
: handshakes, interferences and security
The job breakdown is:
- Protocol specification :
o Scenarios considered
o Specifications and models
- Software development
o Enhance the in-house simulator with your layer 1 and 2 protocols
o Test runs and validation
You will also have to produce associated documentation, and take part in
reunions with our partners on the project, presenting your work regularly.
You have a PhD in Digital Communications and/or networking, and are
proficient in the following domains:
- Radio communications : knowledge of modulation techniques, radio channel
modeling, signal processing and general communication theory
- Network protocols, layer 1, 2 and 3
- C programming language
