Research Groups

The CCABA was set up with the aim of consolidating a multi-disciplinary research group: the Broadband Communications (CBA), the Broadband Networks (BAMPLA), the Optical Communications (GCO) and the Mobile Communications (GRCM) groups.

 


This research group belongs to the Computer Architecture Department. Most of the topics covered by this research group are strongly related with B-ISDN/ATM networks and broadband services and applications: ATM switching, protocol development, source traffic modeling, network resource management policies and bandwidth allocation, traffic and congestion control on ATM networks, routing strategies for ATM networks, ATM local area networks, internetworking through ATM, network management, multicast over ATM, quality of service management and transport protocols over ATM

The Optical Communications Group (GCO) is part of the Signal Theory and Communications Department (TSC). Our key research areas involve Optical Fiber Technologies, Raman Spectroscopy and High-Speed Networking. Our experience is related to optical wavelength domain transport and access networks (WDM, HDWDM, SCM), broadband fiber transmission, sources and receivers, all-optical amplification, optical heterodyne detection, wavelength stabilization and monitoring, transparent WDM network architectures and management, optical linear and non-linear distortions,polarization/PMD treatment and network quality monitoring
