TEPN was a successful project with 6 PhD who defended their thesis and one that is scheduled in June 2018. We count 57 publications in total and 2 patents. See Table 1 for more details.
The TEPN project supported strategic research for the laboratories involved in Cominlabs. The work initiated in the PhD of A. M. Alam on theoretical performance of randomly deployed network has opened new doors to be investigated and will be pursued by two PhDs dealing with variable traffic
flows and correlation between stochastic processes and their impact on achievable performance. In particular, resource allocation has not been considered yet because it requires to deal with dependency between point processes, e.g. users and BS.
We were also selected by the Cominlabs committee to extend the work on the new waveform proposal to decrease the PAPR (described in one of the TEPN patent). In this accepted project, we will implement the proposed solution on a USRP platform. This work should start in 2018 for 18 months.
The work on real time monitoring in downtown and performance study we did in TEPN become a sustainable activity in the different teams involved. In 2016, we initiated new industrial contracts with Société Grand Paris on this very hot topic, and we are using the tools in many student projects and teaching activities.
We can also mention that one of the PhD student (Laudin Molina) is following the EIT Digital School for Innovation and entreprenariat. In this context, he had to work on business model and he visited a center of research during his PhD.
