Array Geometry Evolved: Harnessing Resource-Efficiency in Future MIMO Sensing and Communications Systems

Description of the granted funding

This project focuses on designing smarter and more efficient next-generation sensing and communications systems, with applications in 6G, autonomous vehicles, and radar. Developing these systems is important, since traditional solutions are costly, power-hungry, and complex, scaling poorly to emerging requirements for high-resolution sensing and fast communication. We aim to develop new theories and designs that use fewer costly antennas and radio channels without compromising performance. The research combines mathematical modeling, computer simulations, and real-world experiments using multiantenna testbeds at Tampere University. Scientifically, it will provide new insights into how antenna arrangements and signal patterns fundamentally affect system performance. Societally, it will enable faster, more reliable, and energy-efficient wireless networks and sensing technologies, supporting sustainable, resource-wise solutions for modern infrastructure.
