5G and Beyond: The SimulaMet Networking Lab (multiple thesis topics)

SimulaMet has established the SimulaMet Networking Lab, providing state-of-the-art hardware to create mobile broadband network (5G) setups for research and development purposes. Within our lab infrastructure, we provide the opportunity for different master thesis projects in a very interesting and highly relevant area of computer networking research!

The actual topic of a master thesis can be negotiated, depending on the research interests and already-available skills. Possibilities include (but are not limited to):

• Anomaly detection in a 5G Network Core
• Network performance measurements in 5G Network Core/Mobile Edge Computing

Goals

• Obtaining a Master's degree, of course
• Setting up your own 5G network in our lab
• Contributing to state-of-the-art research in computer networking

Learning outcome

• Learn about mobile broadband networks (5G, etc.)
• Work on an interesting topic in the area of mobile broadband networks

Qualifications

• Basics of computer networking (IP, routing, TCP, etc.) needed
• Basics of Linux/Unix system administration needed
• Some programming skills
• Ideally, some experience with virtualisation and containers (e.g. Docker)

Supervisors

• Thomas Dreibholz

Collaboration partners

• Copenhagen Business School (CBS)
