Current Research Interest


Research activities concern the physical layer of wireless networks (cellular, local, ad hoc, sensor networks). Major research field are characterisation and statistical modelling of the channel (Ultra Wide Band, millimetre wave), and multiple access schemes and especially the multiple access interference. This research activity is closely linked to the material architecture in IEMN and to the MAC and network layers with LIFL (Laboratoire d’Informatique Fondamentale de Lille).

Teaching


From first to fifth year of the engineering school; Master degree; Deterministic and random signals, time-frequency analysis, wavelets, hidden Markov models. Digital communication, channel coding, multiple access schemes, CDMA Propagation channel. Matlab. In charge of programs.
