Signals and Networks Lab

Welcome to the Signals and Networks Lab

The Signals and Network (SINE) Lab is directed by Professor Hany Elgala at the University at Albany. Our research focus is on Wireless Communications and Networks, Digital Signal Processing and Embedded Systems.

The main research direction is to understand the principles of communication waveforms, network architectures, and propagation environments to engineer practical terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks for future 6G applications, Internet-of-Things (IoT) deployments, and low-orbit satellite constellations.

We are particularly experts in Visible Light Communications (VLC) wireless transmission and LiFi networks and are interested in Optical Communications, Heterogeneous Networks, Joint Communications and Sensing, Physical-layer Security, and Wireless Backscattering using Machine Learning.

We are actively looking for undergraduate and graduate students to join the lab. If you are interested, please send your CV by email to Hany Elgala at [email protected].

Research

Visible Light Communications and LiFi Networks

A Light-emitting diode (LED) is a dominant source for future human-made light. The adoption of LEDs is expected to significantly reduce energy consumption and facilitate precise intensity and color control of illuminated spaces. An LED also makes possible the use of the visible light communications (VLC) technology that enables indoor luminaries and street lights to transmit wireless data through subtle intensity variations.

We study the use of modulated LEDs as well as superluminescent diodes (SLDs) and laser diodes (LDs) as alternative sources to realize next generation LiFi networks towards wireless high-speed Internet access, IoT deployments and sensing applications.

Coexistence in Wireless Heterogeneous Networks

The demand for wireless capacity requires networking and Internet infrastructures to evolve and meet the needs of future bandwidth-hungry applications. Wireless heterogeneous networks (HetNets) will play an important role toward the goal of using a diverse spectrum to provide high quality-of-service (Qos) and quality-of-experiance (QoE), especially in indoor environments where most data are consumed.

We design and evaluate a coexistence framework to explore the new mobile access mm-Wave and THz optical bands with their unique propagation characteristic and capabilities to rethink the networking design towards the augmentation of existing micro-wave technologies and realization of new levels of throughput, latency, and streaming performance gains in future dense networks.

Machine Learning for Communications and Networks

One of the fundamental communication problems is the reliability in the reconstruction of the transmitted messages. In a classical approach, all the processing blocks in the communication chain are separately optimized. However, such optimization process is considered suboptimal.

We study deep learning (DL) based on end-to-end performance enhancement to achieve reliable communication without any prior mathematical modeling to achieve optimal performance.

IoT Security

Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) have a great potential in supporting time-critical data delivery among the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and for emerging applications such as smart cities. However, the unique characteristics of different technologies and shared radio operating environment can significantly impact network availability.

We study the channel assignment problem in time-critical IoT-based CRNs under proactive jamming attacks. We exploit the statistical information of licensed users' activities, fading conditions, and jamming attacks over idle channels.

Self-powered IoT Devices and Backscatter Communications

It is expected that by 2020, the Internet will consist of 50 billion devices, which leads to imperative design of the Internet-of-Things (IoT). The IoT should be able to link anything and everything to the Internet and to enable an exchange of data never available before. However, to braze the trail for IoT, several challenges need to be resolved.

We investigate and compare novel RF and optical backscattering wireless transmission and energy harvesting techniques to maximizing throughput, increase transmission range and provide uniform rate distribution under energy constraints.

Positioning and Navigation

The ultra-wideband (UWB) is a wideband technology for high precision ranging, localization and data communication. UWB systems generally have a bandwidth of the order of a few gigahertz, which potentially provides sub-nanosecond scale resolution in time. Depending on how the UWB signals are transmitted and received, UWB units can be used for wireless range measurement, localization, transmission or some combination of the above.

We work on studying the propagation characteristics of the signals the UWB technology transmits in different environments and improve the performance as a standalone technology and within a heterogeneous network based on radio as well as optical wireless technologies.

We are collaborating with the Center of Technology in Government on the UWB technology.

About Zunayeed

I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, under the supervision and guidance of Professor Hany Elgala at the Signals & Networks (SINE) Lab. Prior to that, I have received my M.S. in Electrical Engineering from The State University of New York at Buffalo. From May 2017 to August 2021, I have worked as a Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, North South University, Bangladesh.

My research interest focuses on the modeling and analysis of hybrid VLC-RF communication systems for joint communication and sensing using reconfigurable intelligent surfaces. I am also inquisitive about examining the manifold research aspects of machine learning algorithms in the context of wireless communication. Since the beginning of my graduate study, I have delved my interest in the aforementioned areas and as such I have co-authored 3 conference papers (indexed in Springer and IEEE Xplore), 1 journal paper (indexed in MDPI), and 1 short chapter (indexed in Springer) in similar research areas.

Besides, I am currently involved with a project on Cloud based Hybrid RF-OpticalNetwork Over Synchronous Links, in short CHRONOS. I am currently investigating the circuit characterization of an integrated LED/LASER transceiver system. Apart from that, in collaboration with Professor Jacob Chakareski, I am analyzing the scope of 360-degree virtual reality video immersion using indoor hybrid rf-optical networks.
