A PhD research position is available in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics of the University of Liverpool leading to the award of a PhD degree in the areas of cognitive radio/dynamic spectrum access and 5G mobile communications. The PhD project will contribute to one the Department's key strategic research themes by investigating novel methods for spectrum awareness in dynamic spectrum access systems. The scope of this research is to analyse the impact of practical (imperfect) operating conditions and impairments present in real systems and develop efficient and low-cost spectrum awareness methods to overcome degrading effects. The research will combine theoretical analysis, computer simulation and hardware/prototype experiments.
