Communication engineering and systems is a field of study that deals with the design and development of communication systems, networks, and protocols to transmit and receive information between two or more devices. It is a multidisciplinary field that encompasses electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics, and information theory.
Recent Research in Communication Engineering and Systems
- 5G Technology: The fifth generation of wireless technology (5G) is the latest research trend in communication engineering and systems. It promises faster data transfer rates, lower latency, and improved coverage compared to previous generations of wireless technology. This will allow for new use cases such as autonomous vehicles, remote surgery, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms are being increasingly used in communication systems to improve performance and network efficiency. For example, machine learning algorithms can be used to optimize network resource allocation, predict network failures, and detect and mitigate security threats.
- MIMO Systems: Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems are a key research area in communication engineering and systems. MIMO systems use multiple antennas to transmit and receive signals, which can significantly increase the data transfer rate and improve the reliability of communication systems.
- Visible Light Communications: Visible Light Communications (VLC) is a new area of research that uses visible light to transmit data. This technology has the potential to provide high-speed, secure, and energy-efficient communication in indoor environments.
