Job Summary
In this Master's thesis, you will investigate the robustness of signal sequences for secure NTN communications, develop simulation models for jamming scenarios, and analyze signal integrity under interference.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- In order to support the Digital Payload Processors Design Team, Airbus Defence and Space is offering the following Master Thesis on Characterization of Sequence Robustness for Secure NTN Communications.
- Are you looking for a master's thesis and want to get to know the work of a signal processing engineer for space systems? Then apply now! We look forward to your support in the Telecom & Navigation Processing department as a master's student (m/f/d)!
- 6G / 5G is giving the convergence of terrestrial and satellite-based networks a major boost. Under the keyword 'Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)', satellites are being consistently integrated into the mobile communications standard for the first time, subsequently paving the way for a global and dense communication network in the future 6G generation.
- Due to the inherent conditions of wireless communication - and particularly with the deployment of open standards and vast coverage areas - the threat posed by jammers and spoofers is ubiquitous. Specifically at the physical layer, the detection and suppression of malicious signals constitute an enormous challenge that must be overcome to ensure the integrity of the network.
- The Master's Thesis position will support the ongoing R&D activities on on-board implementation and scaling of a jamming robust gNodeB. The successful candidate shall contribute to one or more of the following fields:
- Sequence Analysis: Investigating the mathematical and statistical properties of different sequence designs in the context of NTN-specific channel conditions.
- Attack Modeling: Developing simulation models for various pilot-spoofing and jamming scenarios to evaluate their impact on signal integrity.
- Robustness Characterization: Analyzing how different sequence properties react to malicious interference through various performance metrics.
- Feature Identification: Identifying unique 'signal signatures' or features that can be used to distinguish between legitimate and spoofed signals.
- Benchmark Development: Providing a comparative evaluation of sequence-based robustness to support the development of on-board detection algorithms.
