Research
Signal processing, machine learning and networking solutions
Development of these areas will dramatically increase the capacity of future wireless communication networks beyond 5G
Signal Processing and Networks Research Group
Performing internationally leading research, the Signal Processing and Networks Research Group (SPNRG) aims to advance algorithmic design and protocols to improve communications networks.
Our Aim
The group aims to address current communication restrictions in a range of applications from underwater to cybersecurity. As well as publishing more than 1,000 journal and conference articles, many of their research outcomes have already been adopted by industrial partners.
As part of their plans to help protect aquatic wild life, governments and industry world wide utilise the Group's underwater acoustics and noise field measurement research to better understand and reduce potential impacts of man made noise in these environments. The group have also been involved in the University Defence Research Collaboration in Signal Processing, providing novel solutions to challenges faced by the defence industry.
