About the Project
Next Generation Routing and Communication Protocols in Internet of Things and High Performance Networks are among the most important topics in communication. Enabling these protocols to function effectively in a wide range of network sizes and operating conditions is the main avenue towards efficient networked systems. We are looking for a potential PhD student to work on communication protocols, in terms of design and analysis, under the umbrella of the following themes:
• Internet of Things (IoT)
• Software Defined Network (SDN)
• Low Power Lossy Networks
• Smart Cities and Networking
• Wireless and High Mobility Networks
• Next Generation Networking and 5G
• Cloud and IoT
• Vehicular Networks and Intelligent Transportation Systems
Academic qualifications
A first degree (at least a 2.1) ideally in Computing/Engineering with a good fundamental knowledge of Data Communication, Algorithms, Programming.
English language requirement
IELTS score must be at least 6.5 (with not less than 6.0 in each of the four components). Other, equivalent qualifications will be accepted. Full details of the University’s policy are available here https://www.napier.ac.uk/research-and-innovation/research-degrees/application-process
Essential attributes:
• Experience of fundamental data communication
• Competent in networking and algorithms
• Knowledge of network protocols
• Good written and oral communication skills
• Strong motivation, with evidence of independent research skills relevant to the project
• Good time management
Desirable attributes:
Experience of Simulation Environment
