Position Summary
Project Title: SD5GTSN – Software-Defined Network Control Enabling Time-Sensitive 5G Networks (CONNECT2-T4).
Position available either at Post-Doctoral or Senior Post-Doctoral Level, depending on experience.
The SD5GTSN project will address the research question of how to devise network control algorithms that enable time-sensitive functions in integrated Time-Sensitive 5G LAN-type Networks. We are motivated to pursue this question due to recent developments towards integrating 5G/6G with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), with use cases in industrial automation, aerospace and connected health. TSN is a recent development by the IEEE802 standards initiative to introduce an ultra-reliable, delay-bounded data transmission service over local area networks. 3GPP has recently (Rel. 16/17) specified the integration of 5G with TSN, where 5G acts as a transparent Ethernet link for TSN networks. At the same time, 3GPP is defining the 5G LAN-type service (Rel. 16/18), which specifies capabilities that make 5G end devices (UEs) appear as if they are communicating on a local area network (LAN). We are now interested to study the combination of TSN with the 5G LAN-type service from a network control and resource management perspective.
The objectives of the project are to:
- Devise an architectural approach for software-defined network management and control of Time-Sensitive 5G networks
- Devise an integrated Qo S management system for 5G and TSN supporting TSN features within a wireless 5G LAN-type system
- Devise novel AI/ML based network control algorithms to meet the Qo S requirements for a broad range of services
- Analyse the approach in our 5G/TSN simulation environment and verify the simulation analysis in CONNECT’s 5G LAN-type 5G core network testbed and the Open Ireland research infrastructure.
We are now looking for a Post Doctoral or Senior Post Doctoral Researcher to join our research team at the Nasc Research/CONNECT Centre. This position provides an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic and inclusive research team at University College Cork (UCC), working within the large-scale national Science Foundation Ireland funded CONNECT Centre for Future Networks and hosted by UCC’s new Nasc Research centre within the School of Computer Science & Information Technology (CSIT). The Centre comprises approximately 50 people working on networks, security and systems research. CSIT is a large, research-focused school, participating in many major national and international research collaborations, and with extremely strong links to industry partners.
The research will be carried out under the supervision of Professors Dirk Pesch and Cormac Sreenan and Dr. Ahmed Zahran. The appointee will work together with other Postdocs and Ph D students on wireless Time Sensitive Networking. The researcher will be expected to make significant contributions to the research agenda of the CONNECT Research Centre, working closely with the Principal Investigators Prof. Pesch, Dr. Zahran and Prof. Sreenan and with academic and industry collaborators. We welcome applications from Researchers with an established publication track record, appropriate to their career stage. Candidates are expected to have experience in two or more of the following - network management, communication protocols, wireless networks, network control algorithms, software defined networking. Knowledge of 5G and time sensitive networks is a distinct advantage as is experience with networking testbeds and/or deployments. Candidates should have experience of collaborating or engaging with industry or demonstrate potential for doing so.
