Theory and Practise of Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Wireless NetworkingDr. James Gross Abstract: Over the last five years new applications from the industrial domain have received more and more interest by the networking community. Often referred to as critical machine-to-machine applications, they arise for example from sensor-actuator communication in automation settings. As the involved QoS requirements (mainly latency and reliability) can be quite strict, these applications pose new challenges for the design of wireless networks. In this talk, design aspects as well as experimental results regarding a new wireless system for such application cases are presented. The discussed system EchoRing leverages cooperative cooperation, and maximizes the cooperation gain by fast exchange of channel state information. Several foundations of the system evolution are discussed, such as communication-theoretic aspects regarding cooperative communication in the finite blocklength regime, probabilistic model-checking of the protocol as well as practically relevant cooperative node selection algorithms. |

Biography: James Gross received his Ph.D. degree from TU Berlin in 2006. From 2008-2012, he was assistant professor at RWTH Aachen University and associated with the DFG-funded UMIC Research Centre. Since November 2012, he has been with the Electrical Engineering and Computr Science School, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, as an associate professor. He also serves as director for the KTH ACCESS Linneaus Centre and is a member of the board of KTH’s Innovative Centre for Embedded Systems. His research interests are broadly in the area of mobile systems and networks, with a focus on critical machine-to-machine communications, cellular networks, as well as performance evaluation methods. He has (co-)authored over 120 papers in international journals and conferences. His work has been awarded multiple times, including best paper awards at ACM MSWiM 2015, IEEE WoWMoM 2009, and European Wireless 2009. In 2007, he was the recipient of the ITG/KuVS dissertation award for his Ph.D. thesis. Apart from his academic work, he is co-founder of the spin-off R3 Communications GmbH, a Berlin-based start-up in the area of mission-critical industrial wireless networking.
