Recruitment in Converged Cloud Communication Technologies Project

Converged Cloud Communication Technologies project is a 5 year 23 crore project

sponsored by Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY), Ministry
of Communications and Information Technology, Government of India. This project has
a faculty team from EE and CS departments working on problems related to
Communications, Signal Processing, Computing, Microelectronics and VLSI design.
The main objective of this project is to develop prototype products leading to
commercialization of converged cloud communication and broadband technologies.
The main deliverables of this project include: Generation of IPR through international
patent filing, Technology Transfer (ToT) to telecom equipment manufacturers and
chipset vendors, Spin-off startup companies that commercialize the technologies
developed by the project.
Specifically, the following prototype products will be developed:
Converged cloud radio access network (CCRAN) prototype product. This
product enables convergence between multiple radio access network (RAN)
technologies. Specifically, we enable convergence between cloud based next
generation cellular and non-cellular networks. The prototype product supports
machine-to-machine (M2M) communication as well as Internet-of-Things
(IoT) that are implemented using a combination of cellular, WLAN and
ZigBee standards
Cloud radio access network (CRAN) base station (BS) prototype product
based on next generation 5G cellular systems.
Integrated M2M/IoT chipsets based on next generation cellular and
WiFi/ZigBee standards that acts as gateways to the cloud network
The proposed prototype products will be tested using lab/filed trails before
delivering them to telecom manufacturers and chipset vendors.
The patents generated in the project will be inserted in the global wireless standards
through participation in 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) as well as
Indian Telecom Standards Organizations.
The project would spin-off startup companies that will commercialize the prototype
products as well as the IPR generated in the project.
