Advanced Connectivity

Communication systems are experiencing a major change being driven by their convergence on technologies drawn from information systems: Network programming, virtualization, and now cloudification, flexibility, and speed of deployment.

To become proficient in high-quality end-to-end services, meet the needs of various industries, and offer a better user experience, it is necessary to find solutions for broadband mobile and IoT that are coordinated with access networks and core networks alike.

The Advanced Connectivity lab is helping this change come about by designing software and hardware solutions ranging from radio access (massive MIMO, millimeter waves, new FECs) to core network infrastructure (SDN architecture, CUPS, and micro-services) that can address these new needs. The lab relies on expanded areas of skill such as radio, signal processing, systems on-chip (SoC), Software-Defined Radio (SDR) platforms, software development, and cloud infrastructure. It handles these subjects by offering architecture upgrades that restructure the functions toward the Edge network.

PAPR Peak to average power ratio reduction techniques based on chirp selection for single and multi‐user orthogonal chirp division multiplexing system

This paper deals with peak to average power (PAPR) reduction in a single and multiuser orthogonal chirp division multiplexing (OCDM) context. Two methods for PAPR reduction based on the selection of the frequency variation (up or down) of the chirps are first presented in a single user system. The first technique consists in considering two OCDM signals generated with up and down chirps,…

Flexible Communication System for 6G Based on Orthogonal Chirp Division Multiplexing

This paper deals with the orthogonal chirp division multiplexing (OCDM) modulation, and its capability to generate inherited waveforms, such as the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or precoded OFDM, covering a large number of use cases. To this end, we first prove that the OCDM signal can be generated by a transmission chain composed of a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix,…
