[edit] Overview
- Access Technologies (AT) main focus are wireless communication networks. The Area is organized along a number of research lines covering the most challenging aspects involving access networks, such as: cross-layer techniques, medium access protocols, radio resource management, multi-carrier systems, cooperative communications, sensor networks, and satellite access (take a look at the sidebar tabs to learn more about our research projects).
[edit] Research
The AT Area is organized around the following research lines (some in cooperation with other CTTC Areas):
- Multi-carrier and Cognitive Networks
- Data Link Control and MAC Protocols
- Network information theory
These activities are often carried out within the framework of Industrial, European, or National research projects.
Experimental research takes place at the AT Area lab and in conjunction with the CTTC Engineering Unit and Radio Communications Area.

[edit] For Ph.D. students
The CTTC periodically awards 3-year Ph.D. fellowships to engineering graduates with good academic standing. The application process is usually open around June. Please check the CTTC web site for the next call. If you are interested in starting a Ph. D. thesis within the AT Area, feel free to contact any of the AT Area members for more information about possible thesis topics.
[edit] For engineering degree (M.Sc.) students
Doing your M.Sc. thesis at CTTC can be a very fruitful experience in a very active research lab. Students are provided with a workstation in the Access Technologies lab as well as the necessary laboratory resources to carry out their work. Please note that, unless otherwise stated, no stipend is awarded Master students to carry out their thesis.
[edit] Post-doctoral grants
The CTTC periodically offers Post-doctoral fellowships. Please contact any of the AT Area members if interested.
