Data-driven information-theoretic tools under a second-order statistics perspective
(English) A great deal is known about second-order statistics. For many years, most of the signal processing problems have been addressed under the perspective of the first and second-order moments of the data, known to ...
Artificial intelligence, LiDAR and co-operative remote sensing for atmospheric observation and off-shore wind energy
(English) Remote sensing of the atmosphere is widely used by the wind energy industry to both assess future wind farms deployment sites as well as to improve their operation. With the rising interest in offshore wind energy, ...
Dynamic resource optimization and orchestration techniques for 5G new radio and beyond
(English) Earmarked as the revolutionary 5G key enabler, Network Slicing (NS) is the embodiment of the concept of running multiple logical networks as virtually independent business operations on a common physical ...
Remote sensing for atmospheric observation and wind energy: over-land boundary layer and off-shore atmospheric stability
(English) Monitoring the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is a matter of interest for many applications, such as weather forecasting, pollutant-dispersion models and wind energy. The ABL is the most turbulent part of the ...
Unsupervised and attention approaches for deep learning speaker recognition
(English) The thesis presents various contributions to the field of speaker recognition. In the first part of the thesis, the focus is on unsupervised methods for speaker recognition. This includes a method that uses Deep ...
Interferometric orbit determination for geosynchronous earth sensing missions
(English) Future Geosynchronous Synthetic Aperture Radar (GEOSAR) missions will provide permanent monitoring of continental areas of the planet with revisit times of less than 24 h. Several GEOSAR missions have been studied ...
Radio access network optimization with proactive resource management for 5G and beyond
(English) The Fifth-Generation (5G) of cellular networks significantly increases the performance and flexibility of the offered services to users and service providers. The strict network requirement of 5G use cases has ...
SFC placement and lifecycle management in edge-enabled 5G architectures
(English) The fifth generation (5G) of mobile communications urges software defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) to join forces with the multi-access edge computing (MEC) cause. Thus, reduced ...
Sea surface determination using GNSS reflected signals
(English) The Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are large, stable and calibratecl sets of spaceborne L-band microwave transmitters with very well characterized properties. They provide global and permanent coverage ...
Graph convolutional neural networks for 3D data analysis
(English) Deep Learning allows the extraction of complex features directly from raw input data, eliminating the need for hand-crafted features from the classical Machine Learning pipeline. This new paradigm brought a boost ...
Nonlinear modeling and characterization of SAW devices for communications systems
(English) Nowadays, worldwide booming growth in mobile devices puts a lot of pressure on the mobile communications technologies since an enormous amount of requirements, mainly focused on delivering enhanced mobile broadband ...
Opportunistic communications in large uncoordinated networks
(English) The increase of wireless devices offering high data rate services limits the coexistence of wireless systems sharing the same resources in a given geographical area because of inter-system interference. Therefore, ...
Technologies for injection molded antennas for mass production
(English) The deployment of 5G antenna infrastructure and the mandatory adoption of anti-collision radars for automotive cars will require large amount of antennas operating in the millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelength. ...
Quality of service, security and trustworthiness for network slices
(English) The telecommunications' systems are becoming much more intelligent and dynamic due to the expansion of the multiple network types (i.e., wired, wireless, Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-based networks). Due ...
Evaluation of the surface impedance of ReBCO coated conductors and requirements for their use as beam screen materials for the FCC-hh
(English) The Future Circular Hadron Collider (FCC-hh) is a proposal for a 100-kilometre-long particle accelerator with collision energy substantially higher than previous colliders to expand the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ...
Gender bias in natural language processing
(English) Gender bias is a dangerous form of social bias impacting an essential group of people. The effect of gender bias is propagated to our data, causing the accuracy of the predictions in models to be different depending ...
Advanced methods for earth observation data synergy for geophysical parameter retrieval
The first part of the thesis focuses on the analysis of relevant factors to estimate the response time between satellite-based and in-situ soil moisture (SM) using a Dynamic Time Warping (DTW). DTW was applied to the SMOS ...
Synergistic optical and microwave remote sensing approaches for soil moisture mapping at high resolution
Soil moisture is an essential climate variable that plays a crucial role linking the Earth’s water, energy, and carbon cycles. It is responsible for the water exchange between the Earth’s surface and the atmosphere, and ...
Deriving vertical total electron content maps from SMOS full polarimetric data to compensate the Faraday rotation effect
The Faraday rotation is a geophysical effect that causes a rotation of the electromagnetic field components emitted by the Earth when it propagates through the ionosphere. It depends on the vertical total electron content ...
Energy-driven techniques for massive machine-type communications
In the last few years, a lot of effort has been put into the development of the fifth generation of cellular networks (5G). Given the vast heterogeneity of devices coexisting in these networks, new approaches have been ...
