Artificial Intelligence Spectrum Sensing Algorithms for large scale high-density Internet of Things (IoT) Networks
Scope of the IoTSensing research project
The IoTSensing project entails the design, implementation and testing of spectrum sensing AI algorithms that are able to perform radio spectrum sensing with the main purpose to increase the performance level of large-scale high-density IoT networks. The algorithms will be validated in real operating conditions and will integrate advanced machine learning and deep learning architectures to achieve the highest level of performance. The novel platform will also integrate an interface to visualize and analyze IoT radio spectrum usage, detect interference, and generate detailed reports on radio spectrum occupancy and even radio channel allocation patterns.
”Efficient spectrum sensing is the backbone of modern wireless communication. In a world where connectivity fuels innovation, the ability to intelligently manage and optimize radio frequencies is key to unlocking the full potential of emerging technologies like IoT, 5G, and beyond. ”
