1. Dr Lei Zhang, Dr Guodong Zhao and Dr Dezong Zhao from the School of Engineering, and Dr Liying Li from the School of Computing, have secured £100,000 for Private and Secure Autonomous Systems research and development.
2. Dr Lei Zhang and Professor Muhammad Imran, along with colleagues from the School of Social Sciences have secured £40,000 to use privacy preservation to enable colleagues to collect data to answer the following interesting questions:
- How are the needs of multilingual citizens being met in cities in terms of services, cultural activities and education?
- How do multilingual speakers navigate the city and to what extent do they use their multilingual skills across a range of situations?
- What is the role of social spaces in developing new networks and communities for multilingual speakers in cities?
3. Dr Guodong Zhao and Professor Muhammad Imran, along with colleagues in the social sciences, will work on an ESRC proposal exploring as part of it the future role of robotics in people's lives. Glasgow University has funded the multidisciplinary effort via this scheme with £20,000.
Well done to all involved in securing the funding for these innovative and collaborative research funding awards.
COMP-O-RAN Funding
Funding: £4,732,473
Partners: Dense Air Limited, Airspan Communications Limited, Blu Wireless Technology Limited, University of Glasgow, Radisys UK Limited
Coordinated Multipoint Open Radio Access Network (CoMP-O-RAN) will revolutionize the performance and cost of densified 5G New Radio (NR) outdoor small cell clusters. The integration of standard Open Radio Access Network technology with Wave transport systems enables the deployment of disaggregated multi-transmission and reception multi-node 5G NR without the need for excessive fibre which drives down capital-intensive deployment costs.
Well done Dr Yusuf Sambo, Dr Oluwakayode Onireti and Dr Shuja Ansari in supporting Professor Muhammad to successfully secure this prestigious award from UK government's Department of Digital Culture Media and Sports (DCMS).
