Welcome to Wireless Communications & Signal Processing Group (WCSP)
The research focus of the Wireless Communications and Signal Processing (WCSP) group at the electrical engineering department of USF are related to advanced signal processing techniques at the physical (PHY) and medium access (MAC) layers, with cross-layer design for networking adaptivity and Quality of Service (QoS) control. WCSP group is interested in many forms of wireless technologies including
- cellular radio
- wireless PAN/LAN/MANs
- fixed wireless access
- aeronautical networks
- underwater networks
- in-vivo networks
- and specialized wireless data networks like
- wireless sensors networks
- wireless telemetry
The current research interests of the WCSP group are
- 5G and beyond research, foundation technologies for 6G
- 5G and beyond waveform design (6G waveform)
- non-orthogonal waveforms
- hybrid waveforms
- flexible waveforms
- Advanced scheduling for future radio access
- PHY security
- Cross layer security
- REM security
- Sensing security
