Job Description for Position: CNIT1

The Consorzio Nazionale Interuniversitario per le Telecomunicazioni (CNIT), Laboratory of the


University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, Italy, is seeking to appoint a high-calibre doctoral
candidate to join the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network ‘joInt wireless commuNicaTion and
sEnsinG by hologRaphic surfAce TranscEivers’ (INTEGRATE).

About the INTEGRATE project


As the standardization of 5G wireless networks progresses, the research community has started
focusing on what 6G will be. Motivated by the need of ensuring high data-rates while at the same
time saving spectrum a major technology that has been proposed for 6G is the integration of
communication and sensing services in the same infrastructure. This enables wireless networks to
perceive the surrounding environments triggering new services and leading to a more efficient use of
resources. The INTEGRATE project focuses on the theoretical, algorithmic, and architectural
foundations of integrated communication and sensing networks, developing the first open access
network-level simulator for joint communication and sensing. To this end, a new implementation of
wireless transceiver is proposed, which leverages the use of reconfigurable holographic surfaces and
allows the integration of communication and sensing with remarkable performance while at the same
time reducing the energy consumption. Specifically, INTEGRATE will: 1) develop reconfigurable
holographic surfaces (RHSs) capable of supporting joint communication and sensing tasks and that
can be integrated in wireless transceivers with minimal cost and energy requirements; 2) Characterize
the fundamental performance limits of integrated communication and sensing networks, developing
an algorithmic framework and protocol suite to approach these limits; 3) Build the first open access
software simulation platform for joint communication and sensing networks.

Position title: CNIT1 - Fundamental performance limits of RHS-based integrated communication


and sensing networks.

Research project: Integrating communication and sensing tasks implies that multiple, possibly
contrasting, performance metrics must be optimized, e.g. the communication rate, latency, detection
rate, estimation accuracy, energy efficiency, etc. The frameworks of multi-objective optimization and
monotonic optimization will be merged. The former enables the simultaneous optimization of
different performance metrics, while the latter enables to compute the optimal operating points of the
network with a complexity that is amenable for off-line numerical simulation. These frameworks
have never been investigated in joint communication and sensing networks. A complete and novel
multi-objective monotonic optimization framework will be developed for the optimization of the
electromagnetic response of the RHSs and other radio resources (e.g. transmit powers,
beamforming/receive filters, bandwidth allocation, etc.) for joint communication and sensing. The
fundamental performance limits of the system will be characterized also by theoretical bounds on
estimation accuracy, e.g. the Fisher information and the Cramer-Rao bounds, or information-theoretic
bounds, e.g. the data processing inequality for the mutual information.

Objectives: Determine the ultimate fundamental performance limits of RHS-based integrated


communication and sensing networks, by means of mathematical optimization, information theory,
detection and estimation theory, Cramer-Rao bounds, information-theoretic bounds.

Location: CNIT Laboratory based at the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, Cassino (FR),
Italy and Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy.
PhD enrolment: The selected applicant will be enrolled into a Ph.D. at Politecnico di Torino, Turin
program to conduct the planned research activities.

Working Time: Full-time.

Duration: Fixed-term (3 years).

Salary: in agreement with European salaries for doctoral positions, plus additional benefits.

Secondment: CNIT1 will spend a research stay of 8 months at another partner of the INTEGRATE
project. The planned secondment for CNIT1 is at Ranplan Group AB, Sweden.

Eligibility requirements
- The applicant must be a doctoral candidate (i.e. not already in possession of a doctoral degree at the
date of the recruitment).
- At the time of recruitment, the researcher must not have resided or carried out their main activity
(work, studies, etc.) in the country of their recruiting organization for more than 12 months in the
three years immediately prior to the recruitment date. Compulsory national service and/or short stays
such as holidays are not taken into account.
