Expertise

The Signal Processing for Communication Group (SPCOM) of UPC has had a very significant involvement in coordinating previous EC projects as METRA, I-METRA, ROMANTIK and SURFACE. This group lead the Adaptive Antenna algorithmic development in the ACTS projects TSUNAMI, TSUNAMI(II) and SUNBEAM. In the Fifth Framework Programme of IST this group coordinated the METRA and I-METRA projects, focussed on MIMO technologies for UMTS, and the ROMANTIK project, which investigated for the first time in IST advanced transceiver algorithms for cooperative upgraded 3G networks. Other participations were in the projects SATURN, FITNESS, EMILY and the NEXWAY Thematic Network. In the Sixth Framework Programme the group has coordinated the project SURFACE and participated in FIREWORKS and WINSOC.
