  Quantum Communications Project
  PI: Prof. Kaushik Majumdar

  Description: Quantum communication is a field of applied quantum physics involving the distribution of quantum bits of information, or 'qubits' between users or end nodes. Its most immediate application involves the protection of information channels against eavesdropping, and this is widely known as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). QKD is the technique whereby secret keys are transferred between users via single photons of light. The principle of operation of a QKD system involves two parties (Alice and Bob), who use single photons that are randomly polarized to states representing ones and zeroes to transmit a series of random number sequences; these will subsequently be used more

  ORAN Project PI: Prof. Chandramurthy

  Two recent keywords in the 5G wireless world are O-RAN and the Open Air Interface (OAI). This project aims to implement the Split7.x architecture in OAI code base following the O-RAN principles. This creates a mutually beneficial opensource platform that can facilitate both research and commercialization in 5G area. The current OAI codebase maintains split-8 architecture where the entire signal processing is performed on a host PC exchanges I/Q samples with the radio unit for transmission and reception. The OAI system supports different radio front-end units. more

  Link Adaptation, Scheduling, and Feedback Techniques in Practical Wireless Systems Group: 5G Mobility PI: K V S Hari & Neelesh B. Mehta

  The availability of channel state information (CSI) at the base station (BS) plays a crucial role in determining the spectral efficiency and capacity of a cellular system. Acquiring CSI entails feedback from the user equipment (UE) to the BS. The accuracy of the CSI available at the BS affects the achievable spectral efficiency and capacity more

  Interactive AR/VR digital twin for navigation and monitoring of office spaces Group: I3D Lab PI: Pradipta Biswas

  This project will develop an interactive and immersive digital twin of BT office premises in Bangalore for real time monitoring of building and help in navigation for visitors. The solution will be deployed using state of the art virtual and augmented reality systems and follow a user centred design process on developing multimodal interaction with the AR/VR system. more

  Advanced Chatbots Group: Statistics & Machine Learning PI: Prof. Ambedkar Dukkipati

  Typically chatbots in the industrial scenarios are trained for a particular task in a particular domain. Specific datasets are required for effective training such a chatbot. An example of this would be, say, restaurant booking. Seldom, such chatbots are useful in a larger context. British telecom was facing this problem, of user intention and domain change while in chat. more

  Conversational Speech Analytics Group: LEAP Lab PI: Prof. Sriram Ganapathy

  Automatic transcription of speech conversations is a challenging problem due to the spontaneous nature of conversational speech; presence of multiple speakers and speaker overlap. Speaker diarization and automatic speech recognition (ASR) are the two important tasks in a conversational speech transcription system.more
