The Signal Theory and Communications Department (TSC) has offered a doctoral programme focusing on scientific training in the following fields since 1987:

• Communications with physical and radio support
• The study of phenomena associated with the generation, propagation and radiation of electromagnetic signals at frequencies ranging from RF/microwave to optical wavelengths
• Basic techniques for signal processing and their applications in communications, voice, and image processing
• Telecommunication systems and networks

The programme is strongly associated with the research topics addressed by the Department. Research is carried out by groups that, while autonomous, do regularly collaborate with groups from other departments and universities.

The fields of research covered often involve participation and leadership from thematic networks and European projects with large numbers of national and international partners. These collaborations always involve, directly or indirectly, candidates in this doctoral programme, as the research that they conduct is integrated into these projects. The programme has repeatedly been given internationality and quality awards by both the Spanish and Catalan governments.

General information

Access profile

Ideal applicants are holders of master’s degrees in Information and Communication Technologies, and preferably Telecommunications Engineering. However, the multidisciplinary nature of some of the Department’s research groups makes it desirable to consider admitting candidates with other degrees in the fields of physics, computing, biology and computational linguistics.

In addition to this academic profile, certain characteristics are considered important for applicants to have, including interest in the research projects being carried out in the Department, having critical and analytical abilities, having initiative, being consistent and persistent in their work and being able to work in a team.

Degree classifications:

• Direct admission: European Master of Science in Research on Information and Communication Technologies (MERIT).
• Preferential admission: other postgraduate programmes in the field of ICT engineering: telecommunications engineering, telematic engineering, computer sciences and photonic technologies.
• Others: depending upon the presence of other multidisciplinary research groups in the Department, applicants with degrees from other programmes that do not coincide with the aforementioned profiles will also be considered: informatics, physical sciences, chemistry, mathematics, biology and computational linguistics.

An appropriate level of English is required for this programme.

Output profile

Doctoral candidates who complete a doctoral degree will have acquired the following competencies, which are needed to carry out quality research (Royal Decree 99/2011, of 28 January, which regulates official doctoral studies):

Duration of studies and dedication regime

Duration
The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is four years, counted from the date of first enrolment in the relevant programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is seven years from the date of first enrolment in the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. To calculate these periods, the date of deposit is considered to be the date on which the thesis is made publicly available for review.

If a doctoral candidate has a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, the maximum period of study is six years for full-time students and nine years for part-time students.

For full-time doctoral candidates, the minimum period of study is two years, counted from the date of an applicant's admission to the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited; for part-time doctoral candidates it is four years.

When there are justified grounds for doing so, and the thesis supervisor and academic tutor have given their authorisation, doctoral candidates may request that the academic committee of their doctoral programme exempt them from the requirement to complete this minimum period of study.

Temporary disability leave and leave for the birth of a child, adoption or fostering for the purposes of adoption, temporary foster care, risk during pregnancy or infant feeding, gender violence and any other situation provided for in current regulations do not count towards these periods. Students who find themselves in any of these circumstances must notify the academic committee of the doctoral programme, which must inform the Doctoral School.

Doctoral candidates may request periods of temporary withdrawal from the programme for up to a total of two years. Requests must be justified and addressed to the academic committee responsible for the programme, which will decide whether or not to grant the candidate's request.

Extension of studies
If a doctoral candidate has not applied to deposit their thesis before the expiry of the deadlines specified in the previous section, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may, at the request of the doctoral candidate, authorise an extension of this deadline of one year under the conditions specified for the doctoral programme in question.

Dismissal from the doctoral programme
A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:

  • The doctoral candidate submitting a justified application to withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate not having completed their annual enrolment or applied for a temporary interruption.
  • The doctoral candidate not having formalised annual enrolment on the day after the end of the authorisation to temporarily interrupt or withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate receiving a negative reassessment after the deadline set by the academic committee of the doctoral programme to remedy the deficiencies that led to a previous negative assessment.
  • The doctoral candidate having been the subject of disciplinary proceedings leading to their suspension or permanent exclusion from the UPC.
  • A refusal to authorise the extensions applied for, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 of these regulations.
  • The doctoral candidate not having submitted the research plan in the period established in Section 8.2 of these regulations.
  • The maximum period of study for the doctoral degree having ended, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 of these regulations.

Dismissal from the programme means that the doctoral candidate cannot continue studying at the UPC and that their academic record will be closed. This notwithstanding, they may apply to the academic committee of the programme for readmission, and the committee must reevaluate the candidate in accordance with the criteria established in the regulations.

A doctoral candidate who has been dismissed due to having exceeded the time limit for completing doctoral studies or due to an unsatisfactory assessment may not be Academic Regulations for Doctoral Studies Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Page 17 of 33 admitted to the same doctoral programme until at least two years have elapsed from the date of dismissal, as provided for in sections 3.4 and 9.2 of these regulations.

An appropriate level of English is required for this programme.

Access requirements

As a rule, applicants must hold a Spanish bachelor's degree or equivalent and a Spanish master's degree or equivalent, provided they have completed a minimum of 300 ECTS credits on the two degrees (Royal Decree 43/2015, of 2 February).

Applicants who meet one or more of the following conditions are also eligible for admission:

a) Holders of official Spanish degrees or equivalent Spanish qualifications, provided they have passed 300 ECTS credits in total and they can prove they have reached Level 3 in the Spanish Qualifications Framework for Higher Education.
b) Holders of degrees awarded in foreign education systems in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), which do not require homologation, who can prove that they have reached Level 7 in the European Qualifications Framework, provided the degree makes the holder eligible for admission to doctoral studies in the country in which it was awarded.
c) Holders of degrees awarded in a country that does not belong to the EHEA, which do not require homologation, on the condition that the University is able to verify that the degree is of a level equivalent to that of official university master's degrees in Spain and that it makes the holder eligible for admission to doctoral studies in the country in which it was awarded.
d) Holders of another doctoral degree.
e) Holders of an official university qualification who, having been awarded a post as a trainee in the entrance examination for specialised medical training, have successfully completed at least two years of training leading to an official degree in a health sciences specialisation.

Legal framework

Admission criteria and merits assessment

In cases in which applicants have graduated from degree programmes other than those granting direct admission (MET, MATT and MASTEAM), the TSC Department’s Postgraduate Committee will assess the documentation submitted as per the following framework:
• Academic transcript: 35%.

• Appropriateness of academic background with the activities carried out in the proposed research group: 25%.
• Knowledge of the English language: 20%.
• Quality of university from which previous degree was awarded: 10%.
• Motivation letter/letters of recommendation: 10%.

An assessment will be considered positive is an applicant is given a score of 3 or more out of 5.

Based on the content of the motivation letter and the applicant’s preparedness, the Postgraduate Committee will assign a thesis supervisor.

If candidates do not have a degree in some kind of ICT engineering, they will have to take the bridging courses recommended by their supervisors and the programme, whether courses from the associated master’s programmes (MET, MATT) or other ones.

Training complements

The Postgraduate Committee of the Signal Theory and Communications Department may require candidates to complete specific bridging courses. In this case, the Committee will monitor the bridging courses and set up appropriate criteria to limit their length.

The courses shall involve training in research, but in no case will candidates be required to enrol in 60 or more ECTS credits (according to the academic regulations for doctoral studies, bridging courses could include transversal education, but there are plans to change to this so that these bridging courses exclusively provide research credits, especially in cases involving doctoral programmes with 300 ECTS credits).

Depending on the activities completed by the candidates, the Postgraduate Committee of the Signal Theory and Communications Department may propose measures, in addition to those established by current regulations, that would disassociate candidates who do not meet the established requisites.

The Postgraduate Committee may require candidates who are to be admitted to complete certain bridging courses in order to better adapt their profiles to the programme’s requirements regarding the knowledge necessary to properly complete the doctoral studies.

No bridging courses will be required for those who graduated from the MET, MASTEAM or MATT programmes, or any of the other previously mentioned ICT programmes.

For those who completed other programmes, the bridging coursework required will depend upon their backgrounds and the activities carried out by the research groups in which they will participate, and it could be up to 30 ECTS.

The courses to be taken are offered by the MET, MASTEAM or MATT programmes.

Also, depending on the characteristics of some of the Department’s research groups, courses from the following UPC programmes will also be considered:
• Master’s programme in Telecommunications Engineering
• Master’s programme in Electrical Engineering
• Master’s programme in Photonics
• Master’s programme in Innovation and Research in Informatics
• Master’s programme in Artificial Intelligence

After consulting with candidates’ supervisors, it will be the sole responsibility of the TSC Department’s Postgraduate Committee to determine which courses students will have to take to complete these bridging courses. In any case, the aim of the courses will always be to fill in the gaps that students are seen to have in their academic transcripts with regard to the activities carried out by the research group in which they will participate.

Enrolment period for new doctoral students

Students enrolling in the doctoral programme for the first time must do so by the deadline specified in the admission decision.
Unless otherwise expressly indicated, enrolments corresponding to admission decisions issued from the second half of April on must be completed within the ordinary enrolment period for the current academic year.

Monitoring and evaluation of the doctoral student

Procedure for the preparation and defense of the research plan

Doctoral candidates must submit a research plan, which will be included in their doctoral student activity report, before the end of the first year. The plan may be improved over the course of the doctoral degree. It must be endorsed by the tutor and the supervisor, and it must include the method that is to be followed and the aims of the research.

At least one of these annual assessments will include a public presentation and defence of the research plan and work done before a committee composed of three doctoral degree holders, which will be conducted in the manner determined by each academic committee. The examination committee awards a Pass or Fail mark. A Pass mark is a prerequisite for continuing on the doctoral programme. Doctoral candidates awarded a Fail mark must submit a new research plan for assessment by the academic committee of the doctoral programme within six months.

The committee assesses the research plan every year, in addition to all of the other activities in the doctoral student activity report. Doctoral candidates who are awarded two consecutive Fail marks for the research plan will be obliged to definitely withdraw from the programme.

If they change the subject of their thesis, they must submit a new research plan.

Procedure for assignment of tutor and thesis director

The academic committee of the doctoral programme assigns a thesis supervisor to each doctoral candidate when they are admitted or enrol for the first time, taking account of the thesis supervision commitment referred to in the admission decision.

The thesis supervisor will ensure that training activities carried out by the doctoral candidate are coherent and suitable, and that the topic of the candidate’s doctoral thesis will have an impact and make a novel contribution to knowledge in the relevant field. The thesis supervisor will also guide the doctoral candidate in planning the thesis and, if necessary, tailoring it to any other projects or activities undertaken. The thesis supervisor will generally be a UPC professor or researcher who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience. This includes PhD-holding staff at associated schools (as determined by the Governing Council) and UPC-affiliated research institutes (in accordance with corresponding collaboration and affiliation agreements). When thesis supervisors are UPC staff members, they also act as the doctoral candidate’s tutor.

PhD holders who do not meet these criteria (as a result of their contractual relationship or the nature of the institution to which they are attached) must be approved by the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee in order to participate in a doctoral programme as researchers with documented research experience.

The academic committee of the doctoral programme may approve the appointment of a PhD-holding expert who is not a UPC staff member as a candidate’s thesis supervisor. In such cases, the prior authorisation of the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee is required. A UPC staff member who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience must also be proposed to act as a co-supervisor, or as the doctoral candidate’s tutor if one has not been assigned.

A thesis supervisor may step down from this role if there are justified reasons (recognised as valid by the committee) for doing so. If this occurs, the academic committee of the doctoral programme will assign the doctoral candidate a new thesis supervisor.

Provided there are justified reasons for doing so, and after hearing any relevant input from the doctoral candidate, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may assign a new thesis supervisor at any time during the period of doctoral study.

If there are academic reasons for doing so (an interdisciplinary topic, joint or international programmes, etc.) and the academic committee of the programme gives its approval, an additional thesis supervisor may be assigned. Supervisors and co-supervisors have the same responsibilities and academic recognition.

The maximum number of supervisors of a doctoral thesis is two: a supervisor and a co-supervisor.

For theses carried out under a cotutelle agreement or as part of an Industrial Doctorate, if necessary and if the agreement foresees it this maximum number of supervisors may not apply. This notwithstanding, the maximum number of supervisors belonging to the UPC is two.

More information at the PhD theses section

Permanence

The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is four years, counted from the date of first enrolment in the relevant programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is seven years from the date of first enrolment in the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. To calculate these periods, the date of deposit is considered to be the date on which the thesis is made publicly available for review.

If a doctoral candidate has a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, the maximum period of study is six years for full-time students and nine years for part-time students.

If a doctoral candidate has not applied to deposit their thesis before the expiry of the deadlines specified in the previous section, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may, at the request of the doctoral candidate, authorise an extension of this deadline of one year under the conditions specified for the doctoral programme in question.

Dismissal from the doctoral programme
A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:

  • The doctoral candidate submitting a justified application to withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate not having completed their annual enrolment or applied for a temporary interruption.
  • The doctoral candidate not having formalised annual enrolment on the day after the end of the authorisation to temporarily interrupt or withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate receiving a negative reassessment after the deadline set by the academic committee of the doctoral programme to remedy the deficiencies that led to a previous negative assessment.
  • The doctoral candidate having been the subject of disciplinary proceedings leading to their suspension or permanent exclusion from the UPC.
  • A refusal to authorise the extensions applied for, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 of these regulations.
  • The doctoral candidate not having submitted the research plan in the period established in Section 8.2 of these regulations.
  • The maximum period of study for the doctoral degree having ended, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 of these regulations.

Dismissal from the programme means that the doctoral candidate cannot continue studying at the UPC and that their academic record will be closed. This notwithstanding, they may apply to the academic committee of the programme for readmission, and the committee must reevaluate the candidate in accordance with the criteria established in the regulations.

A doctoral candidate who has been dismissed due to having exceeded the time limit for completing doctoral studies or due to an unsatisfactory assessment may not be Academic Regulations for Doctoral Studies Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Page 17 of 33 admitted to the same doctoral programme until at least two years have elapsed from the date of dismissal, as provided for in sections 3.4 and 9.2 of these regulations.

    Thesis abstract: As life expectancy rises, people over 65 years old become a larger proportion of the population. However, longer life expectancy does not imply healthy ageing. Older individuals are more likely to develop multiple chronic diseases and other disabling conditions such as frailty. These conditions not only reduce quality of life but also place significant demands on an already strained healthcare system. This thesis aimed to 1) enhance understanding of the relationship and progression of frailty and multimorbidity, 2) study how frailty modifies multimorbidity patterns and trajectories, and 3) develop explainable predictive models using longitudinal electronic health records (EHRs). All the studies focused on three outcomes: all-cause mortality, nursing home admission, and home care need. Utilising SIDIAP, the primary care EHR database in Catalonia, enabled the development of large, population-based longitudinal studies with greater generalisability and the application of more sophisticated analytical techniques. This thesis yielded several important findings and recommendations. Firstly, it was demonstrated how the characterisation of multimorbidity and frailty and their impact on health-related outcomes evolves with age. The accumulation of diseases increases the likelihood of death, but older individuals with fewer diseases and more frailty-related deficits are more likely to require specialised care. Therefore, treatment plans should be tailored based not only on age but also on the specific characterisation of the patient at any given time. Secondly, the study found that multimorbidity patterns and trajectories are modified when frailty is considered, improving their predictive power for some health-related outcomes. Thus, future research on multimorbidity in older populations should integrate frailty information. Thirdly, a predictive model that addressed the technical challenges of longitudinal EHRs and incorporated mechanisms to enhance transparency was developed and called ARIADNEhr. During ARIADNEhr's development, it was found that increased model complexity does not necessarily improve discriminability but does enhance the clinical plausibility of the resulting attention maps. This model generally outperformed others using cross-sectional data. Additionally, the model's performance was validated with an external population, specifically in the UK with the CPRD database. This thesis exemplifies the transfer of advanced analytical techniques, such as clustering and deep learning, to the health field, supported by rigorous validation to ensure reliability. It offers valuable insights for future studies on the ageing population, emphasising the need for having access to longitudinal, high-quality data such as that from primary care. The findings aim to improve treatment penalisation, enhance patients' quality of life, and reduce costs for the national healthcare system.

    Thesis abstract: In the approaching era of 6G networks, the necessity for AI-driven zero-touch network automation ishighlighted by the need to support multiple network slices for various use cases. Network slicing (NS),a significant innovation beyond 5G, will depend on AI to effectively manage complicated communicationnetworks. However, the traditional centralized approach for monitoring and controlling raw data facesseveral challenges. Federated Learning (FL) under a decentralized paradigm provides advantages,including improved security, fewer data exchanges, scalability, lower computational costs, and facilitatedfast local analysis and decision-making.Besides, Explainable AI (XAI) plays a crucial role in establishing trust in the AI black boxes throughoutthe deployment, which becomes imperative, mainly when AI is responsible for complicated resourcemanagement and anomaly detection. Stakeholders seek highly performing AI models for efficientresource allocation to ensure fairness, accountability, and compliance. Furthermore, flexible, intelligentmanagement across Radio Access Network (RAN), core network, cloud, and edge is needed to providerevolutionary connectivity in the broader context of the 6G era. The O-RAN Alliance’s push for Open RANarchitecture and AI-driven management tools further supports this vision.The thesis focuses on advancing the efficiency, scalability, transparency, and trustworthiness of 6Gnetworks through innovative approaches in FL, network resource management, and AI/MLmethodologies. The main objectives include reducing SLA violations, enhancing convergence time, andoptimizing computation costs in FL-based analytic engines. Additionally, the aim is to address the trade-off between performance and explainability, ensuring trustworthy predictions and transparent decision-making in the context of 6G network slicing. The proposed approaches leverage closed-loop automation,XAI, and novel federated learning models to achieve these goals while aligning with the demands andchallenges of the evolving 6G O-RAN landscape.First, A cloud-native SLA-driven FL model has been proposed to improve scalability and performance fornon-IID data at the RAN-Edge. It also demonstrated its superiority in reducing SLA violations andcomputation costs compared to different FL baselines.Second, inspired by closed-loop automation and XAI, we have designed an Explainable Federated DeepLearning (FDL) model to predict per-slice RAN dropped traffic probability, prioritizing explainabilitymetrics and outperforming baseline models.Third, we have proposed an explanation-guided in-hoc federated learning (FL) approach to address thetrade-off between AI performance and explainability for trustworthy 6G network slicing resourcemanagement in a RAN-Edge setup.Fourth, motivated by closed-loop (CL) automation and explanation-guided learning (EGL), we havepresented an explanation-guided federated learning (EGFL) scheme to ensure trustworthy predictionsand enhance model fairness.Lastly, addressing critical resource provisioning challenges among multiple virtualized base station (vBS)instances in the 6G O-RAN landscape, we have proposed a Federated Machine Reasoning (FLMR)framework to optimize CPU demand prediction for vBS, ensure transparent AI decisions and showcasesuperior performance compared to the DeepCog baseline.These methods advance 6G network scalability, efficiency, and transparency, contributing to developingAI-driven, trustworthy network management solutions.

    Thesis abstract: Spaceborne radar interferometry (InSAR) has shown significant advantages in extracting surface deformation information of landslides. However, the steep terrain, dense vegetation coverage, and rapidly changing meteorological conditions in complex reservoir areas pose substantial challenges to the application of time-series InSAR technology for landslide deformation detection and dynamic monitoring. Therefore, achieving reliable, efficient, and high-precision InSAR-based landslide deformation detection and dynamic updates in complex mountainous regions has become a research hotspot in the fields of radar remote sensing and engineering geology. This paper addresses the aforementioned challenges and conducts theoretical algorithm development and applied research, with the main research contents and contributions including the following:1) InSAR Applicability Estimation Method for Landslide Detection.2) Sequential Optimization Method for Distributed Scatterer Polarimetric Interferometric Phase. 3)Tropospheric Delay Phase Correction for Mountainous InSAR Considering Spatial Heterogeneity. 4) Automatic Detection and Dynamic Cataloging Method for Large-Scale Active Landslides Using InSAR.

    Thesis abstract: The Massive Internet of Things (MIoT) characterizes a communication scenario where a massive number of battery-operated devices perform infrequent, primarily uplink-oriented small data transmissions to a network. The connectivity and management of a massive number of such devices pose challenges, and this thesis aims to tackle the issues related to the initial access mechanism of MIoT in the context of 5G and beyond networks. The thesis begins by conducting a thorough examination of both licensed and unlicensed spectrum technologies for the MIoT. Additionally, we investigate different test beds and simulators employed for the analysis. In the initial phase of the thesis, our focus is on examining existing standardized technologies in Massive IoT, with specific attention given to the Narrow-Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) as a critical component for supporting MIoT in 5G networks. The performance of the NB-IoT access procedure is thoroughly analyzed under different network densities and combinations of configuration parameters. The findings lead to the development of an adaptive access mechanism that adjusts the access parameters based on the anticipated network density, improving the overall performance of the access procedure. In the subsequent stages of the study, we qualitatively analyzed network-based and User Equipment (UE) based relaying solutions for IoT applications, motivated by the fact that effective support of IoT requires cellular service in deep coverage areas. Relaying is a promising solution to extend the coverage while at the same time meeting the battery life requirements of IoT devices. While various relay-ing architectures and technologies have emerged in research and standardization, it is not yet clear which is best suited for IoT applications. Hence, we examine relay architectures and evaluate the suitability of UE-based relaying and network-based relaying solutions for IoT applications. We analyze the relaying solutions in terms of radio aspects, such as connection establishment, protocol architecture, and resource allocation. Our findings suggest that even though the standardized layer-2 network-based relaying solution (e.g., integrated access and backhaul networks) may be better suited to handle large numbers of low-complexity, low energy-consuming devices with better interference management, any optimizations aimed at supporting IoT traffic will directly affect existing networks, such as the introduction of new control plane signaling over the Uu interface. Conversely, the standardized layer-3 UE-based relaying solution can be optimized for handling massive IoT relaying with minimal impact on existing networks, since the optimizations can be made on the PC-5 interface with a subdued effect on the Uu interface. Based on the outcome of the qualitative study of relaying architecture, we analyze the suitability of layer-3 relaying over the New Radio (NR)-PC5 interface to support massive IoT applications. More precisely, we study the unicast connection establishment mechanism over the NR PC5 interface in a partial coverage scenario. Further, a set of optimizations on the NR-PC5 procedure to effectively support massive IoT applications are proposed and analyzed. The obtained performance evaluation results, which are presented in terms of data success probability, device power consumption, and signaling overhead, quantify how effectively the NR-PC5 interface can support the requirement of IoT in the 5G and beyond era. The proposed sidelink small data transmission and frame-level access provides the largest gain overall and can reduce the device power consumption by an average of 68 percent and signaling overhead by 15 percent while maintaining a data success probability of more than 90 percent in an International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)-2020 defined IoT traffic scenario.

    Thesis abstract: The use of microwave imaging techniques in medical applications has gained significant interest because of its non-ionizing character, low cost, and body penetrability. Different techniques and systems for microwave imaging have been successfully developed and tested for the diagnosis and monitoring of different parts of the human body to detect certain diseases by means of determining their complex permittivity distribution representing the electrical biological condition. This thesis proposes to open a new avenue adding to the previous biological condition imaging capabilities some trace of its biological activity. With this goal, a novel microwave technique oriented to locate and detect the low-frequency signals approaching the functional activity of a certain biological organ. These electrical signals, responsible for the different biological phenomena, are normally identified as action or membrane potential. Due to their low-frequency character (f ≃ 1 kHz), they stay mostly confined inside the human body and different kinds of contact electrodes are normally employed to measure them. In this work, we propose a novel technique to extract (from the inside of the human body) and wirelessly monitor these low-frequency signals (generated by a number of basic microorganisms as cells or bacteria mimicking the activity of the organ under study) based on the use of an illuminating microwave signal. Differently from the low-frequencies, the microwave signals are able to propagate inside (in and out) of the human body, being focused (with a Ultra-Wideband (UWB) - 0.5 to 2.5 GHz- multi-probe geometry) on a specific zone, and eventually becoming affected (modulated) by the low-frequency functional biological signals. Once extracted (de-modulated) from the interrogative microwave signal, the information of the action potential signal representing the functional activity, is spatially located inside the region of interest using a microwave differential imaging technique. In this work it has been specifically studied, the capability of monitoring localized action potential signals in the brain representing a Parkinson’s disease (PD), characterized by electrical signals generated in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the globus pallidus (GPi) with specific action potential patterns. Three main points have been developed: * Design of an optimized imaging geometry consisting of four (sequentially Tx and Rx) UWB Extended Gap Ridge Horn (EGRH) antennas disposed on two orthogonal sets.* Design of an UWB-Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) monitoring system producing a nsec interrogation pulse * Modeling and validation of the UWB Microwave Functional Brain Activity Extraction for Parkinson’s Disease Monitoring concept.

    Thesis abstract: Natural disasters suppose a risk to life and assets, and can benefit from better early detection and monitoring systems. Current monitoring systems include in-situ instruments located along the Earth's land, such as the coast lines, or in the oceans. However, the monitoring needs are not met with the current solutions, due to the latency when retrieving the data. Other sensors are located in land, the latency may be negligible provided they are connected to terrestrial networks, but the warning is given when the disaster is already happening in populated areas. Aside from in-situ instruments, also satellite Earth Observation (EO) payloads monitor the extent and risk areas affected by natural disasters. These payloads generate large amounts of data, and it is often impossible to download it through a Ground Station, imposing duty cycle limitations in the executions.The appearance of the 5G paradigm, and the definition of the Non-Terrestrial Networks, has boosted space-to-Earth communications using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. These systems can contribute to natural disasters early detection and monitoring by placing IoT ground nodes on the Earth's surface, since they are inexpensive to deploy, and can contain different types of sensors depending on the variables to be monitored. Moreover, the ground nodes can provide constant readings, and forward them to a satellite if an anomalous reading is detected, to wake-up the EO payload to perform a continuous monitoring. This paradigm is one of the main contribution of this thesis, called the On-Demand Satellite Payload Execution strategy.The feasibility of this monitoring paradigm is first analyzed by presenting the monitoring needs, defining the requirements in terms of density of ground nodes, update frequency of the measurements, and types of sensors required. After that, a more in depth work related to IoT space-to-Earth communications is conducted, assuming that the Long Range (LoRa) modulation is used. The physical layer is first studied by computing a link budget, considering different payload architectures, assessing the communication limitations for each of them. Then, the effect that ionosphere scintillation has on the overall throughput is evaluated by a set of tests. Following, the Media Access Control (MAC) layer is studied by identifying the optimum protocols for IoT space-to-Earth communications. Then, the maximum density of ground nodes for each protocol, and for different antenna footprint sizes is computed, based on the monitoring requirements defined previously for natural disasters monitoring. Moreover, a set of proof-of-concept experiments are conducted to simulate the scenarios identified in the MAC layer theoretical study. This encompasses the comparison of two different protocols, identifying the limitations of each one. Finally, the design and software development of a Software Defined Radio (SDR)-based LoRa payload is presented. Another contribution of this thesis is related to the antenna design for small satellites and CubeSat payloads. Starting with two different antennas used for satellite communications. The first one being an IoT LoRa patch antenna for the RITA payload. Then, the COMET B2 Probe Inter-Satellite Link (ISL) antenna is presented, this study comprises first a sensitivity study based on simulations on the optimum antenna geometry. Then, an additional analysis is done simulating the optimum position of the final Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) antenna used for the mission. Afterwards, the requirements definition, theoretical design, simulations, prototyping, and flight model testing and results are presented for the 3Cat-4 L-Band Helix Antenna and for the FSSCat Nadir Antenna. Both of this antenna are for a Global Navigation Satellite Systems Reflectometer (GNSS-R) and Microwave Radiometer (MWR) payload. Finally, a sensitivity analysis of the optimal positioning the L5 Nadir Antenna, for a GNSS-R payload is presented.

    Thesis abstract: In the context of the fifth generation (5G) of mobile communications, the number of connected devices is expected to increase substantially compared to previous systems (e.g., LTE). Similarly, more stringent user requirements in terms of quality of service (QoS) are anticipated, beyond high data rates (e.g., latency, reliability, etc.). Providing these services adequately represents a challenge for mobile network operators in terms of network deployment and operation. Therefore, adopting strategies to ensure adequate connectivity conditions is critical for mobile network operators to successfully provide 5G and future (6G) services. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized mobile network design, deployment and management processes, thus driving the development of innovative solutions, sustained also on other technological advances such as software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV). In fact, the impact of these technological tools is not limited to 5G systems, but will also extend to future generations such as 6G. In this context, this thesis addresses the challenge of proposing, developing and evaluating solutions at the Radio Access Network (RAN) level with the objective of ensuring optimal connectivity conditions and thus satisfying the QoS requirements of network users. Various techniques are used to achieve this goal, with special emphasis on the use of AI techniques. Firstly, the thesis presents a model to optimize Multi-connectivity (MC) in heterogeneous networks. MC is a key technology for managing high traffic densities and meeting stringent QoS requirements. Performing effective multi-connectivity management is challenging due to various factors such as propagation conditions, interference, loads of various cells, QoS metrics, etc. To address these challenges, the thesis presents a novel algorithm designed to dynamically split User Equipment (UE) traffic between different RATs and cells. The algorithm aims to satisfy QoS requirements while minimizing radio resource consumption in order to minimize the possibility of congestion in the involved cells. The proposed solution is based on the Deep Q-Network (DQN) algorithm. Through a training phase, the model learns an optimal traffic splitting policy to be applied to each UE. The policy adapts to the current conditions of both the UE and the network. This adaptive approach improves network performance by increasing user throughput while mitigating the risk of having cell congestion.Deepening into the problem of ensuring adequate network coverage and as a second contribution, the thesis presents a methodology for coverage optimization in 5G systems. This methodology is based on two main tasks: detection and resolution of coverage holes. It is introduced a Machine Learning based model capable of detecting and characterizing coverage holes by analyzing real network traffic data. A coverage hole becomes significant for network performance when there is a persistent presence of users in its region, as this is reflected in a degradation of both user experience and overall network performance. As a solution to the coverage holes, the thesis considers the integration of relays in order to extend network coverage; the solution comprises both fixed and mobile relays (i.e., UEs acting as relays). The solution based on fixed relays focuses on a functionality to mitigate coverage holes by strategically placing relays in order to improve network availability. On the other hand, it is proposed a solution to extend coverage based on Relay UEs (RUEs). To achieve this effectively, a DRL algorithm is proposed for the intelligent activation or deactivation of the RUEs. Overall, the proposed coverage optimization methodology has demonstrated its feasibility, leading to improved network and user performance.

    Thesis abstract: Skin cancer, characterised by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells, poses a significant global health challenge. Melanoma, its most aggressive form, is particularly concerning due to its rapid metastasis if not detected early, leading to a sharp decline in survival probability. This underscores the critical importance of timely diagnosis and treatment. While advances have been made, the vast surface area of the skin makes early detection challenging.The emergence of prospective clinical and imaging databases has revolutionised the field, providing sensitive and specific biomarkers for non-invasive cancer diagnosis. This thesis harnesses these advancements, introducing AI-powered tools for melanoma analysis using clinical data and Whole Slide Imaging (WSI). The focus lies on identifying early-stage melanoma through risk grouping and biomarker detection. By employing advanced survival analysis, pattern recognition, and statistical clustering, the research develops predictive and interpretable models to enhance early detection and diagnosis.In our study, we comprehensively evaluate survival analysis algorithms on melanoma datasets, highlighting the superior performance of tree-based methods over deep learning models in this context. We also detail the development of SurvLIMEpy, an open-source Python library for model explainability in survival analysis, fostering trust between clinicians and AI. This library has garnered significant attention, with over 10,000 downloads.Furthermore, our research demonstrates that machine learning models prioritise clinically relevant features for survival predictions, further reinforcing their interpretability and clinical utility. We also showcase the successful application of machine learning for patient stratification, outperforming the AJCC staging system used by dermatologist and enabling more personalised treatment strategies. Additionally, the thesis explores AI-driven biomarker prediction from WSIs underscores this approach's promise while emphasising the need for larger datasets for clinical implementation.This research signifies an advancement in the application of AI for melanoma analysis. The SurvLIMEpy library has empowered the research community, while the findings on patient stratification and biomarker prediction potentially improve melanoma diagnosis and treatment.

    Thesis abstract: With the increasing demand for linearity and efficiency in radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers(PAs). This thesis focuses on the development and implementation of digital predistortion (DPD)techniques for linearizing various high-efficiency PA architectures, including envelope tracking (ET)PAs, outphasing PAs, and Pseudo-Doherty load-modulated balanced amplifiers (PD-LMBAs). Themain objective is to achieve an optimal efficiency-linearity trade-off while addressing the challengesposed by modern communication standards, such as dynamic signal bandwidth and frequencyallocation in 5G New Radio (NR). The thesis introduces novel shaping functions and DPD algorithmstailored for multiple-input-single-output (MISO) PAs. For ET PAs, novel envelope optimizationtechniques are presented for better linearizing the ET PA when operating with 200 MHz widebandsignals for handsets. A novel shaping function extraction method is developed for outphasing PAs,enabling the operation of current mode outphasing (CMOP) PAs with wideband signals. For PD-LMBAs, a frequency-domain shaping function and an artificial neural network (ANN)-based modelare adopted to address the challenging nonlinearity, along with a hardware-in-the-loop pruningmethod to reduce the computational complexity.To cope with the dynamic signal bandwidth and frequency location requirements in mobileapplications, an elastic DPD is proposed. It incorporates frequency-dependent polynomials andincremental-bandwidth techniques, along with a modified doubly orthogonal matching pursuit(DOMP) algorithm, to adapt to varying operating conditions and non-flat frequency responses. Theobjective is to create low complexity DPD models suitable for the implementation in handsets. Thethesis also explores the implementation of DPD algorithms on both field-programmable gate array(FPGA) and graphics processing unit (GPU) platforms. An FPGA implementation of the ET PAlinearizer based on the envelope leakage cancellation and generalized memory polynomial ispresented as a case study. GPU-based implementations of conventional GMP and NN-based DPDmodels are also evaluated.The contributions of this thesis advance the state-of-the-art in DPD techniques for high-efficiencyRF PAs, enabling the realization of highly linear and efficient wireless communication systems. Theproposed methods and implementations provide valuable insights for future research anddevelopment in the field of PA linearization.

    Thesis abstract: This doctoral thesis is made up of three research papers that have been published in high-ranking Q1 journals. The papers delveinto the innovative integration of a MIMO radar system, signal processing, and machine learning (ML) in applications related tothe monitoring of human dysfunctional breathing, detection of stress levels in drivers, and detection of pain through facialexpressions. The first study, titled “In-Cabin MIMO Radar System for Human Dysfunctional Breathing Detection,”introduces anovel approach using MIMO radar systems for remote, wireless health monitoring. It specifically focuses on the detection ofdysfunctional breathing patterns in humans. The system showcases its capability to remotely identify and track patterns such ashyperventilation and dominant thoracic breathing syndrome. This technology could replace traditional methods that often requirecumbersome and intrusive portable sensors, and is non-invasive and non-obstructive in the context of vehicle cabs.In the secondresearch, Supervised Machine Learning-Assisted Driving Stress Monitoring MIMO Radar System explores the intersection ofMIMO radar systems and machine learning (ML) in the context of vehicle safety. This study demonstrates how supervised MLalgorithms can be trained to interpret physiological signals captured by a MIMO radar system to accurately assess driver stresslevels. The results demonstrate a sleep detection accuracy of 90\%, alertness of 96%, and anxiety of 85%. This research couldcontribute significantly to the development of smarter and safer vehicles that can adapt to the driver’s emotional state, potentiallyreducing the risk of stress-related accidents and improving the overall road safety.The third research, 3D pain facial expressionrecognition using an ML-MIMO radar profiler, represents a significant advance in pain assessment techniques. This researchsuccessfully applies MIMO radar technology to recognize 3D-based facial expressions as indicative of pain. This non-invasiveand objective method compares the measurements of the MIMO radar system with those of the facial action coding system,revealing an accuracy of 92%. This technology is useful in medical settings where self-evaluation is not possible or is not reliable,such as in intensive care units or pediatric care.These three innovative studies using MIMO radar systems and machine learningfor health monitoring, vehicle safety, and pain assessment offer significant improvements over traditional techniques,demonstrating the versatility and potential of these technologies, and opening new avenues for future research.

    Thesis abstract: The objective of this thesis is to increase the computational efficiency of integral equation based methods for solving theelectromagnetic scattering problem by incorporating random computations. Randomization allows to ease the computationalburden by replacing costly exact operations by inexpensive approximate ones. Besides, it minimizes the need for inter-processorcommunications, leading to highly scalable algorithms. We select electromagnetic scattering in clusters of plasmonicnanoparticles as our case of study. Randomized methods are suitable for these kind of problems since their collective behaviorcan often be efficiently characterized by statistical means.The electromagnetic scattering problem in the integral form is discretized by the Method of Moments, which consists onexpanding the unkown of the problem as a linear combination of basis functions and projecting both members of the equationonto a set of weighting functions. The result is a linear system of algebraic equations that approximates the original functionalequation. This linear system is usually solved by iterative methods. Also, computing and manipulating the system matrix isunfeasible for most realistic problems. This is resolved by compression methods that take advantage of the reduced number ofdegrees of freedom of the electromagnetic interaction between distant subdomains of the scattering object.In this work, we propose a method for solving the electromagnetic scattering problem based on the Born-Neumann series. Thisformalism expresses the inverse of the scattering operator as a power series of the operator itself. Due to the structure of thisexpansion, Monte Carlo methods can be employed to accelerate the computation of the solution of the scattering problem. Thisthesis presents contributions on the following two topics:First, the relation of the Born-Neumann series with semiiteratiive methods, Krylov subspace methods and conformal mapping.Both Krylov and semiiterative methods approximate the inverse of a linear operator as a linear combination of powers of theoperator itself. The difference lies on the way of finding the coefficients of such linear combination: whereas Krylov subspacemethods actively find these coefficients by minimizing a certain residual, semiiterative methods compute them by applying a fixedtransformation based on assumptions about the operator spectrum. We analyze the relation between both families of methodsand study their connection with conformal maps.Second, the convergence properties of the Ulam-Neumann Monte Carlo algorithm. This method approximates the solution of alinear equation by performing random sampling on the terms of the Born-Neumann expansion. We study the convergenceproperties of this method when submatrices are sampled instead of single matrix elements, and propose an alterantive samplingscheme based on independently approximating each term of the Born-Neumann series that converges on a wider range ofsituations.In the last part of the work, we implement and test a randomized compression method for the impedance matrix obtained by theMethod of Moments. The inherent parallelism of this method allows to exploit the dense linear algebra capabilities of highthroughput processors as GPUs.

    Thesis abstract: The rapid evolution in satellite navigation technology (GNSS) requires advanced prototyping tools for exploring new signals and developing innovative systems. Prototyping is essential in the design and development process, as it allows researchers to test and refine their ideas before implementing them on a large scale.Prototyping using commercial GNSS receivers poses several challenges. Currently, these receivers are primarily based on application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), which are characterized by low power consumption, compact dimensions, and low cost, but offer limited flexibility. Although some commercial devices incorporate software-defined radio (SDR) techniques, they often contain proprietary code that restricts reconfiguration through an application programming interface (API) established by the manufacturer.GNSS receivers based on free and open-source software have become very valuable resources in the field of research and development, especially in satellite navigation. These receivers are highly valued for their adaptability and flexibility, allowing researchers to tailor the software to specific experimental needs or develop new signal processing algorithms. However, software-defined receivers tend to be less energy-efficient compared to hardware-based receivers, as they operate on general-purpose processors, which are not optimized for low power consumption.This thesis focuses on the design and development of a low-cost architecture for prototyping experimental GNSS receivers, based on System-on-Chip Field Programmable Gate Arrays (SoC FPGAs). This architecture overcomes the limitations of commercial GNSS receivers in terms of adaptability, flexibility, and reprogramming capacity, and offers improved energy efficiency compared to software-based receivers that rely on general-purpose processors. The strategy consists of combining the versatility of software-defined radio with the intensive parallelism and optimized energy consumption of programmable logic devices, providing the best of both worlds. This fusion allows the development of compact, portable GNSS receivers, thus facilitating the prototyping of embedded devices suitable for field testing. In addition, the GNSS processing core is based on a free and open-source software implementation, which provides detailed access to the signal processing chain and allows unrestricted exploration and modification of the algorithms used.This thesis also presents a design methodology for the development of new prototypes and new GNSS signal processing algorithms based on the proposed SoC FPGA architecture. This methodology places special emphasis on code reuse, a key aspect for reducing development costs and time.The practical applications of this architecture have been demonstrated through three prototypes: a GNSS receiver for low Earth orbit (LEO), a GNSS signal repeater, and a high-sensitivity GNSS receiver.The innovative approach presented in this thesis facilitates the development of experimental prototypes of flexible and portable GNSS receivers and signal generators, suitable for both laboratory experiments and field testing.

    Thesis abstract: This PhD thesis is intended to study ionospheric scintillation and its relationship with some of its sources, in particular the observed correlation between the ionospheric perturbation and the lithosphere. However, before addressing this topic, some simulators and models have been developed.A trans-ionospheric ray tracer has been developed in this thesis in order to simulate the effects of an electromagnetic wave traveling through the Earth's ionosphere. It consists of an updated version of an old algorithm that has been provided with the most recent models of the ionospheric density, geomagnetic field, and atmospheric composition, in addition to a model for equatorial plasma bubbles.Ionospheric scintillation is the term used to describe a phenomenon affecting electromagnetic waves traveling through the ionosphere which suffer from rapid changes in its intensity and phase. It is motivated by the turbulent electron density fluctuations within the ionosphere in different temporal and spatial scales.Ionospheric scintillation is more probable to occur in equatorial regions after the sunset, and in polar regions, but it is highly related to external perturbations from the space weather. Its complex behavior is studied by mathematical models such us the Rino's model, which uses a phase screen to derive the phase and intensity changes of the waves crossing it. This model is capable of estimating the scintillation indices ($S_4$, and $\sigma_\phi$) for any ray geometry, but it needs some inputs characterizing the ionospheric conditions. These inputs refer to the intensity and spectral distribution of the fluctuations ($C_kL$, and $q$), and its shape and velocity.The WBMOD model is one of the climatological models widely utilized to provide the ionospheric scintillation parameters globally as a function of the date, time, location, and geomagnetic/solar conditions. However, this model is not freely available. The work presented in this PhD thesis is the development of an approximated twin model of WBMOD based on neural networks trained with available WBMOD data.Ionospheric scintillation can be estimated from GNSS signals, through different techniques. First, by direct measurement of the GNSS signal in ground stations. Second, by using the GNSS Reflectometry technique, which senses from LEO satellites the wave reflected over the ocean. Third, by employing the GNSS radio occultation technique, which studies the signal coming from GNSS satellites near the horizon, crossing the ionosphere tangentially. These three techniques together allow a wider coverage of the Earth, particularly, over regions where the traditional ground stations do not exist, i.e. oceans.Many studies in the last decades have evidenced a coupling between the lithosphere, the atmosphere, and the ionosphere, the so-called LAIC. These studies report changes in the ionosphere total electron content, perturbation in the magnetic field, or detection of extremely low frequency radiation, among other phenomena, both before and after seismic events. In this thesis, the relationship between the ionospheric scintillation detected by the three methods mentioned before, and seismic events has been studied, focusing on the precursory signatures. For this, a preliminary study to assess the effectiveness of the GNSS Reflectometry to detect ionospheric scintillation has been performed using CYGNSS GNSS-R data.Finally, this PhD thesis presents the statistical study on the relationship between ionospheric scintillation anomalies and earthquakes globally, and in a second step, related to the localized seismic activity produced by a volcanic eruption in La Palma in 2021. The results of these parts found a small signature of the ionospheric scintillation anomalies as earthquake's precursory signals. However, this evidence is so small that it does not allow its straightforward use as an early alarm system for seismic activity.

    Thesis abstract: This thesis delves into the intricate process of designing and implementing micrometric scale systems for "x-waves" applications, a term used in this thesis to encompass microwaves, millimeter waves, optics, and terahertz waves. The initial results have been achieved with microsystems operating at microwave frequencies, integrated with microfluidics technologies for bioparticle near-field communication and sensing. In particular, microwave and microfluidic technologies has emerged as a promising approach for the detection and analysis of bioparticles. This interdisciplinary field, situated at the intersection of communication engineering,microscale physics,and biology, leverages the unique properties of microwaves and the precise control offered by microfluidics to explore the behavior and functionality of living cells. This thesis encompasses three interconnected studies that in conjunction explore the integration of microwave and microfluidic technologies for the detection, differentiation, and analysis of bioparticles.The first study focuses on the design and optimization of a high-sensitivity measurement system capable of detecting bioparticlesover a frequency range of 0.01–10 GHz using various configurations of coplanar electrodes on a microfluidic platform. The proposedmeasurement setup addresses the detection gap at microwaves with real-time superheterodyne microwave detection systembased on the optimization of a Lock-In-Amplifier (LIA) for single particle detection. The second study demonstrates the system’scapability to differentiate single live/dead bioparticles. It incorporates a Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) in the measurement systemto improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by 4 dB. In addition, the superheterodyne receiver was optimized in terms of localoscillator power and operation frequency. The microfluidic system has been adjusted to confine bioparticles at the centerline of themicrochannel. The third study presents a system that measures the electromagnetic nonlinear susceptibility variation of livingorganisms. The technique is based in the measurement of the intermodulation products at microwaves frequencies produced byvarious samples, including pure ethanol, a mixture of ethanol and dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO), live Escherichia coli (E. coli), andheat-killed E. coli. Collectively, these studies highlight the potential of this integrated microwave-microfluidic platform in industrialprocesses, biomedical research, and environmental monitoring applications. The research opens up an unexplored avenue in themicrowave field for understanding the behavior and functionality of living cells.

    Thesis abstract: The integration of advanced wireless technologies, e.g., cellular and IEEE 802.11p, in modern vehicles enables vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, fostering the next-generation Internet-of-Vehicles (IoV). The rise of IoV leads to more connected vehicles on roads, capable of making informed and coordinated decisions through real-time information sharing among vehicles, communication infrastructure, pedestrians, or roadside units (RSUs). However, V2X and IoV technologies inadvertently bring unprecedented challenges involving security and privacy vulnerabilities. Security threats and attacks can emerge from both malicious outsiders and insiders in V2X communication. Detecting and containing misbehaviours, particularly those initiated by rogue insiders, present challenging yet critical tasks for ensuring road safety. Furthermore, the pervasive use of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) tools across various aspects poses potential threats to secure V2X operations. Motivated by these challenges, this doctoral thesis focuses on enhancing the security, robustness, and trustworthiness of V2X communications by enabling efficient and effective misbehaviour detection and fostering trustworthy collaboration. Specifically, we focus on (i) achieving effective and efficient misbehaviour detection with high accuracy and minimal false alarms, leveraging diverse spatiotemporal characteristics in vehicular data, and (ii) facilitating trustworthy information sharing for collaborative misbehaviour detection, with an emphasis on generalisability and the ability to detect previously unseen and partially observable attacks.The absence of standardised approaches to address misbehaviours calls for advanced AI/ML-based solutions capable of handling the surging volume of data, enhancing robustness and generalisability, and meeting the real-time demands of V2X applications. To this end, we propose a generic deep RL (DRL) misbehaviour detection methodology capable of dynamically improving detection through interactions and experiences by leveraging various spatiotemporal behaviours present in the ambient vehicular measurement space. The scarcity of labelled vehicular data exacerbates the effective training of AI/ML-based models. Motivated by this challenge, we propose an ensemble learning framework for misbehaviour detection, coupled with unsupervised learning and a DRL model. This enables the detection of attacks from unlabelled vehicular data, facilitating the generalisation and detection of new and unseen attack variants. Additionally, addressing adversarial attacks poses a significant challenge, requiring enhanced solutions to make AI/ML-based misbehaviour detection more resilient against such threats. Towards this, we introduce and evaluate a tailored DRL approach designed to protect V2X communication systems against adversarial attacks, as well as mitigate issues stemming from inappropriate formatting of input training data due to vehicular sensor malfunctions or reading errors. By implementing data poisoning adversarial attacks, we demonstrate the resilience of the DRL-based misbehaviour detection approach even under severe conditions of sophisticated adversarial manipulation.Building upon the proposed DRL-based misbehaviour detection approach, we introduce a novel scheme for collaborative misbehaviour detection. This scheme involves deploying a DRL-based misbehaviour detection model in an RSU at the network edge. It leverages transfer learning principles to share the knowledge learned about misbehaviours at the source RSUs with the target RSU, enabling the reuse of relevant expertise for collaborative misbehaviour detection. Considering data poisoning attacks aimed at influencing misbehavior detection, we implement selective knowledge transfer from trustworthy RSUs to avoid adversarial interference. We introduce a semantic relatedness metric to quantify each RSU's trust level for collaborative misbehavior detection.

    Thesis abstract: The growing number of Wi-Fi users and the emergence of bandwidth-intensive services have necessitated an increase in Access Point (AP) density, resulting in more complex network configuration, optimization, and management tasks. Concurrently, advancements in data monitoring and analytics technologies in wireless networks offer opportunities to extract valuable insights into network and user behavior, facilitating more efficient network management. In this thesis, we propose different Machine Learning based techniques to enhance Wi-Fi network management, focusing on three aspects: user connectivity prediction, Wi-Fi traffic prediction, and Wi-Fi traffic classification. The first aspect of our work focuses on predicting the next Access Point (AP) a user will connect to in a Wi-Fi network. We propose a methodology based on historical information of the AP to which a user has been connected, extracting connectivity patterns at different time scales (hourly, daily, weekly). Predictions are done using techniques based on Neural Networks and Random Forest algorithms. This approach is evaluated using real data from a university campus Wi-Fi network. Predicting the next AP of users allows for proactive network reconfiguration, enhancing the efficiency of techniques like Pairwise Master Key caching and Opportunistic Key Caching, which reduce re-authentication times. Additionally, this prediction helps to identify the geographical region of the User Equipment (UE) and can be used for commercial purposes, such as targeted advertising, by customizing messages based on locations of the users. Secondly, we propose a methodology for predicting the aggregated traffic at access points (APs) by leveraging spatial and temporal correlations from neighboring APs to enhance prediction accuracy. Using real measurements, we evaluate various Deep Learning methods, including Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Simple Recurrent Neural Network (SRNN), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Transformer, and present a hybrid approach combining CNN for spatial processing and RNN for temporal prediction. This hybrid method improves accuracy with minimal additional training time and negligible impact on prediction time. Accurate traffic forecasting at each AP enables better load distribution and can inform resource management techniques such as admission control, congestion control, and load balancing. Additionally, predicting low traffic periods can aid in energy-saving strategies by allowing APs with minimal traffic to be switched off during specific times. Finally, traffic classification is essential for enhancing network performance by allowing better resource allocation and prioritization of services with stringent latency requirements. The increasing demand for Virtual Reality (VR) services poses a significant challenge for Wi-Fi networks to meet strict latency needs, crucial for VR to ensure immediate response and avoid user discomfort. To improve VR Quality of Service (QoS), distinguishing interactive VR traffic from Non-VR traffic is key. We propose a machine learning-based method to identify interactive VR traffic in a Cloud-Edge VR environment by analyzing downlink and uplink data correlations and extracting features from single-user traffic characteristics. Six classification techniques (i.e., Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines, k-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Trees, Random Forest, and Naive Bayes) are compared. The result of the classification is used for the prioritization of VR traffic over Non VR traffic. We evaluate our method using datasets from various VR applications and Wi-Fi network simulations. Our results show a significant reduction in VR traffic delays with minimal impact on Non-VR service latency.

    Thesis abstract: The Future Circular Hadron Collider (FCC-hh) is a proposed hadron-hadron collider, with a center-of-mass collision energy of 100 TeV in an approximately 100-km long circular tunnel, aiming to push the frontiers of particle physics. One of the key elements in such a high-energy accelerator is the beam screen, which shields the cold superconducting magnets from the synchrotron radiation emitted by the proton beams at such high energies, ensures ultra-high vacuum conditions, and provides a low impedance to the circulating beams. Beam impedance depends on the electromagnetic interaction between the fields generated by the proton beam and the beam screen. In the current baseline design, the beam screen is made of 1 mm thick stainless steel plates coated with 0.3 mm of copper (Cu), but its surface impedance may not be low enough to guarantee a stable beam operation. The use of High-Temperature Superconductor (HTS) is thus being considered to improve the beam screen performance, particularly, those based on REBa2Cu3O7−x coated conductors (REBCO-CCs being RE = Y, Gd, Eu). It is therefore essential to estimate the surface impedance of these materials in the range of frequencies (2.1 kHz to 3 GHz), DC magnetic fields (1 to 16 T), and temperature (40-60 K) relevant for their use in the FCC-hh. The experimental characterization at the exact FCC-hh operating conditions is extremely challenging, and the surface impedance has to be inferred at conditions that are feasible with the current experimental capabilities. In this thesis, we have addressed the full characterization of REBCO-CC as possible coatings for the beam screen. The first part presents a system of dielectric resonators to characterize the surface impedance of REBCO-CC materials at conditions as similar as possible to those foreseen in the FCC-hh. Results on representative REBCO-CC samples show the validity of the approach developed, providing surface impedance characterization up to 16 T, in a wide temperature range (4-100 K) and a frequency range between 6 and 15 GHz. The second part evaluates the impact of using REBCO-CC to beam stability by performing calculations of the resistive wall beam impedance using a combination of finite integration techniques and beam coupling impedance theory for beam pipes of general cross-section. To this end, hybrid beam screen models combining REBCO-CC and Cu have been considered. The position of REBCO-CC and the percentage of coverage have been systematically studied to determine the optimum configuration that lowers the resistive wall impedance compared to that presented by Cu, while maintaining the magnetic field homogeneity seen by the beam within the specifications. We demonstrate in this study that it is possible to find a REBCO-CC coverage that improves the performance of the nominal beam screen.

    Thesis abstract: The emergence of smartphones not only changed the way people uses its phone for, but it also changed the traffic amount that networks need to carry, increasing the demand of higher data rates. The overall result was the appearance of 4G networks, and nowadays, the current development of 5G, implying the need for more frequency bands, and the application of new techniques such as Carrier Aggregation (CA), MIMO antennas, and so on. All these market driven necessities suppose a great challenge for the radiofrequency (RF) industry, which have been facing the necessity of miniaturization and band coexistence on its devices since the beginning of mobile communications.Microwave filters based on Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonators, have been able to this day to overcome these limitations. These devices consist in a thin piezoelectric layer comprised by two metal electrodes, and an acoustic confinement method, which can be simply made of air or a Bragg reflector. The use of electroacoustic technology enables to reduce the filter size up to five orders of magnitude, allowing the integration of multiple filters in handsets. This thesis focuses on modelling some of different physical phenomena at the resonator level that affect the performance of the filters.The first part of this thesis is the one regarding the spurious response of BAW resonators. This response is originated by acoustic waves traveling in the lateral dimension of the resonator. These waves couple electromechanically, degrading the filter response. BAW filters have been capable of overcoming this limitation suppressing them by the use of different electrode geometries (Apodization), or by surrounding the electrode by a decreased, or increased frame (Border Ring). The nature of these waves is studied through the thesis and several equivalent models are proposed in order to accurately predict them, helping to the design of the correspondent suppression structures. One of this thesis contributions regarding the lateral spurious resonances, consists in making use of a modified Mason model to determine the origin of the additional spurious resonances generated by the Border Ring. These resonances can be attributed to an acoustic mode, different from the fundamental, propagating across the resonator stack. By adding nonlinear sources to that model, the second harmonic (H2) emissions and the impact of the spurious resonances in them, is also studied.Finally, a new equivalent model based in the Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) method is proposed for the acoustic cavity of a BAW resonator. This new approach is able to model resonators with different electrode geometries, in a much faster way than traditionally used methods like the Finite Elements Method (FEM). In addition, by determining different propagation regions, it can be used to model both the apodization and the Border Ring at the same time.The second family of contributions are the ones regarding to the thermoelastic behavior of the BAW resonators. A solid heats up when compressed and vice versa. In a harmonic oscillation, when heat is able to flow through the solid regions, this flow from hotter to colder regions generates a relaxation of the acoustic wave. This is the thermoelastic damping. A thermo-electro-mechanical Mason model is used for quantifying this source of losses on BAW resonators. The model is compared with experimental data taken at cryogenic temperatures and an analysis of losses of the broadband spurious resonances of the Bragg reflector has been performed.

Quality

The Validation, Monitoring, Modification and Accreditation Framework (VSMA Framework) for official degrees ties the quality assurance processes (validation, monitoring, modification and accreditation) carried out over the lifetime of a course to two objectives—the goal of establishing coherent links between these processes, and that of achieving greater efficiency in their management—all with the overarching aim of improving programmes.
