Defining information-theoretic boundaries of conventional and meta-surface-enabled dynamic large-scale wireless networks using artificial intelligence

Grant Funding 2022-2024
Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan

The main goal of the project is to deliver an analytical and algorithmic framework for capacity limits of large-scale dynamic communication networks using meta-surfaces and AI. First, we will investigate channel models of such systems. Second, we will devise novel physical layer and networking algorithms. Third, we will propose novel designs of meta-materials. Finally, we will derive novel capacity scaling laws for generalized network scenarios.

"PI with his team plans to publish:
 at least 2 (two) articles and (or) reviews in peer-reviewed scientific publications on the scientific direction of the project, indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded database of Web of Science and (or) having a CiteScore percentile in the Scopus database of at least 35 (thirty-five);
 either at least 1 (one) article or review in a peer-reviewed scientific publication on the scientific direction of the project, indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science database and (or) having a CiteScore percentile in the Scopus database of at least 35 (thirty-five), and at least 1 (one) patent included in the Derwent Innovations Index (Web of Science, Clarivate Analytics) database;
 at least 1 (one) article or review in a peer-reviewed foreign or domestic publication recommended by CQAFES MES RK;
 or at least 1 (one) article or review in a peer-reviewed scientific publication included in 1 (first) quartile in the Web of Science database.

Also, several scientific papers will be published at international conferences.
During the project, PI will identify potential IP and commercialization possibilities in close collaboration with NUCO. Moreover, based on the obtained results, PI will further apply for complementary research funding to perform the investigation in the research area.
The following communication measures will be used to reach different target audiences:
• A project website. A project website will be set and regularly updated by PI with public information facilitating contacts and exchanges with the general public and other research and industrial initiatives on relevant topics.
• Social networks. PI plans to establish a Wikipedia page about the project, and establish a presence on Social Web to raise public awareness (LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, etc.).
• Workshops and Talks. PI will increase science awareness through visits to local schools and universities to inspire children to become researchers and encourage students to continue their postgraduate studies. At the same time, PI will attend technical seminars and workshops which will further enable new networking connections with researchers in the related fields."
