Research
Welcome to the Networks and Mobile Systems Lab, IIT Bhilai
Private 5G network testbed
5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology, offering faster speeds, lower latency, and higher capacity compared to previous generations. The 5G Core (5GC) is the central component of a 5G network, managing connectivity, mobility, and network functions. It uses a service-based architecture to provide flexible, scalable, and efficient network services. We have developed a fully working private 5G network using EURECOM's openAirInterface5G, a fully 3GPP-compatible 5G Core Network stack available as open-source software.
Next-Generation Wireless Standards
We delve into the latest wireless communication technologies, such as 5G, 6G, and IEEE 802.11ax/be. It is important to come up with newer We work on protocols and strategies that enable robust, high-speed communication in diverse environments.
Software-Defined Networks (SDN)
Our lab investigates the potential of SDN to revolutionize network management and control. We explore how SDN can be used to create flexible, programmable networks that adapt to changing demands. Our research focuses on scalability, security, and optimization in SDN environments.
Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)
We explore the expanding realm of non-terrestrial networks, including satellite communications and high-altitude platforms. Our work aims to enhance connectivity in remote or underserved regions, providing reliable and high-capacity communication through innovative technologies.
Novel Coexistence Schemes in LTE-U/LAA and Wi-Fi Networks
We develop innovative approaches to enhance the utilization of unlicensed spectrum. Given the growing spectrum crunch, it's critical to find ways for technologies like LTE-U/LAA and Wi-Fi networks to coexist. By studying their interactions, we create solutions that optimize spectrum use and minimize interference, promoting more efficient and harmonious wireless communication.
