«DIOR: Deep Intelligent Optical and Radio Communication Networks»

Funding program: HORIZON-MSCA-RISE-2020 – Research and Innovation Staff Exchange

Contract: №#101008280.

Project duration: Dec 2021 – May 2027.

Project consortium:

TAMPERE UNIVERSITY, FI (https://www.tuni.fi/fi) – coordinator

THE UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK, UK (https://warwick.ac.uk/)

SKEIN LTD, UA (https://skein.co/)

Project objectives: 

  • Processing the signal and network traffic optimization from analytical approaches to data-driven inferring, especially neural network (NN) based approaches.
  • Developing the convolutional and recurrent NN models in optical fiber and radio communication networks to mitigate stochastic distortions, to optimise network lightpath and to facilitate network load allocation. Exploiting heterogeneous data analysis to build models for optical fibre and radio access channels and to estimate traffic load to optimise both the deployment and operations of optical and radio networks.
  • Designing Machine Learning (ML) algorithms and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) that facilitate future high-capacity optical and radio communications to enable a new age of intelligent communication networks beyond 5G.
