Welcome to Communication Systems Research (CSR) Group at QMUL. The group consists of 10 academic staff and nearly 40 PhD students and postdocs. The group, established in 2017. Our research spans the broad areas of wireless communications and statistical signal processing, with special emphasis on communication theory, information theory, optimization, machine learning, control theory, and random graph theory.
The Communication Systems Research (CSR) group is internationally renowned for its contributions towards Fifth Generation (5G) Networks, beyond 5G Networks and Internet of Things (IoT). We have made fundamental contributions to 5G air interface, more specifically in millimeter wave communications, full-duplex communications, massive multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) and large scale systems. These technologies developed by the group address practical issues concerning the design and implementation of high speed multi‐gigabit wireless for mobile backhaul, energy efficient ultra‐dense small cells, low latency wireless access to the cloud/fog, self-organizing multi-tier UAV and massive IoT networks. Currently, CSR group secured numerous grants on Sixth Generation (6G) Networks, more specifically on cellular connected UAV (C-UAV), Federated Learning (FL) and Reconfigurable Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces (IRS).
Members of the group have published several hundreds of technical journals and magazines, most of them are in the top IEEE journals of the field, with tens of thousands citations. Four members (current and former) of the group have been listed as Clarivate highly cited researchers.
According to Shanghai Ranking, Telecommunications Engineering at QMUL has been ranked within top three in the U.K over the past four years (2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024) consistently.
