Bilateral Grants with Industry

• Contractor: Orange Labs (http://www.orange.com/en/innovation )

• Collaborators: Zwi Altman, Abdoulaye Tall.

The objective of this Cifre thesis is threefold: (1) to develop solutions based on stochastic approximations and optimal control for the optimization and setting of LTE-Advanced Networks; (2) to develop queuing models to capture the dynamics of the traffic and the physical layer mechanisms (e.g. relay, MIMO, scheduling); and (3) to apply the developed methods to engineering problems such the interference management, load balancing, optimization of coverage and capacity, and mobility management.
