Linear Computation Coding (LCC) has emerged as a promising strategy for approximating constant matrix-vector multiplications (CMVMs) for large matrices. This technique is particularly valuable in neural networks, where the computational cost during the inference phase is primarily driven by the mult...

A significant portion of the computational burden in most neural networks arises from constant matrix-vector multiplications (CMVMs). To address this challenge, linear computation coding (LCC) has emerged as a promising approach for approximating CMVMs in large matrices, while also facilitating a ha...

Cell-free massive MIMO (CF-MaMIMO) is a promising network architecture for energy efficient sixth generation (6G) wireless communication systems with uniform quality-of-service coverage and high data rates. It combines the benefits of distributed antenna systems (DAS) with those of centralized MaMIM...

We are offering a Bachelor thesis focused on the experimental investigation of molecular communication (MC) in branched pipe systems. This project aims to extend a fluidic MC testbed developed at FAU, designed to simulate molecular signaling in the cardiovascular system (CVS). In particular, a branc...

Free space optical (FSO) systems, due to their large bandwidth and secure and cost-efficient data transmission, are considered as suitable candidates for next generation wireless communication networks and beyond. The point-to-point FSO channel requires a line-of-sight (LOS) link, which can be relax...

Recent advances in the drone industry have led to increased interest in using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for wireless communication purposes. However, limited power remains the big issue, as in such missions, endurance is of paramount importance. In this context, free-space optics (FSO) seems to not only offer a way to transfer high data rates but also a key technology to provide energy to flying platforms.

Molecular communications (MC) is an emerging communications approach with many interdisciplinary applications in industry and medicine. MC can be used in environments, where classical communication using electromagnetic waves is not feasible. Applications of particular interest are infrastructure mo...
