Prof E Wilson
Applications accepted all year round
Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
Toshiba’s Telecommunications Research Laboratory has, for 15 years, been undertaking innovative research and advanced development in the field of wireless communications. Situated in one of England’s most attractive urban environments, it works closely with numerous partners, including nearby University of Bristol; it files patents, publishes widely in the leading international peer-reviewed journals and conferences and transfers advanced concepts and prototypes to Toshiba’s business units. It also sponsors a number of PhD/EngD students at leading UK Universities. It currently has funding opportunities and is seeking applications for a number of PhD and EngD projects with the University of Bristol and the University of Cardiff.
In addition to an academic supervisor, successful applicants will be assigned a highly skilled Toshiba engineer as an industrial supervisor. EngD students will be based within Toshiba’s Telecommunication Research Laboratory and PhD students will undertake a 3 month internship during the course of the programme at the laboratory.

We envision a future where smart cities will integrate various communication systems (e.g. Fibre, Wi-Fi, Cellular and Radio Mesh etc.) in order to support a variety of services and to efficiently meet the current and projected needs of the population. However, existing communication infrastructure is fragmented either due to technology and market reasons only offering services to a specific segment of users such as cellular and Wi-Fi, or application specific infrastructure-less deployments such as Wireless Sensor Networks, Ad Hoc networks, Delay Tolerant Networks. If these networks could be shared to support new services or create new system solutions, a virtual city wide communication platform can be created, meeting various application requirements and to provide previously unknown opportunities to improve efficiency, provide cost benefits and realise new services.
This project will explore how the current communication networks could be evolved to meet the objectives of future city goals, especially in the most challenging domains such as collaboration among different networks, altruism and selfish aspects, their dynamic nature, heterogeneity, resource constraints, and robustness. Objective is to design a self-evolving eco system for efficient use of communication network resources to facilitate innovative services, considering both technological, market and regulatory drivers.
Applicants must have a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in either Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science or a related discipline.
The Company is committed to the principle of equal opportunity and will ensure that individuals are selected on the basis of their aptitudes, skills and abilities.
