Topic description

The evolution towards 6G is accompanied by an increasing integration of heterogeneous access technologies, including cellular and Wi-Fi networks, in order to meet the requirements of emerging critical applications. In this context, intelligent embedded devices (augmented cameras, connected sensors) generate multimodal data streams combining video, metadata derived from artificial intelligence algorithms, and information collected from surrounding objects.

These data streams exhibit heterogeneous constraints in terms of latency, reliability, throughput, and criticality, and must be transmitted in dynamic environments characterized by mobility, fluctuating connectivity, and the coexistence of multiple access technologies.

The objective of this PhD is to design multi-access orchestration mechanisms that dynamically adapt the use of different radio interfaces (Wi-Fi, 5G/6G), taking into account communication context, data characteri...
