PhD Position in Deterministic Networking for Internet-of-Things at Mid Sweden University

PhD Position in Deterministic Networking for Internet-of-Things (MIUN 2015/2104): Tomorrow's smart society will rely heavily on low-power wireless mesh technology to monitor and automate several cyber-physical systems and processes. A combination of centralized control and distributed intelligence will ensure that different data flows coexist in the wireless "umbrella" network spanning the smart city. For low-power wireless to be usable in tomorrow's smart city, it must offer determinism, security, manageability and service level agreements. One major challenge is that wireless is unreliable in nature: in a typical smart society environment, multi-path fading and external interference affect the reliability of the wireless links. The project contains both theoretical and experimental work in collaboration with external partners. The right candidate is expected to have a strong background in wireless communications, embedded systems, MAC protocols, computer networks, mathematics and programming.
