PUC-Rio 5G and Beyond Lab
The laboratory of fifth generation
(5G) and beyond wireless communications aims to study and develop innovative
solutions for the current and the next generation of wireless communications
systems. The lab is based at the Centre for Telecommunications Studies (CETUC)
of PUC-Rio and conducts research activities in:
o
communication theory,
o
signal processing,
o
network architectures,
o
information and coding theory and
o
antennas, propagation and channel
characterisation.
Its mission is to deliver innovative
engineering solutions through liaison with industry, technology transfer,
testbeds and training.
