Walid Dabbous

I am a researcher in the DIANA project-team at Centre Inria d’Université Côté d’Azur.

What’s new?

We organized the Converge project’s plenary meeting on October 2-3, 2023, at the Centre Inria d’Université Côté d’Azur. During the meeting, project partners had a chance to visit the radio component of the SophiaNode infrastructure hosted in R2lab.

I have participated to the SLICES Blueprint workshop held on Sep 18-19, 2023 in Sorbonne University in Paris.

Our paper “A novel approach for ray tracing optimization in wireless communication” is accepted for publication in Computer Communications, September 2023. Author version on HAL.

Here are two introductory videos in french about 5G, adapted for a broad audience, and high school students.

Publications

Full list until 2012 (Rodéo and Planète), HAL extraction since 2013 (Diana), or Google Scholar (all).

Research Interests

  • Wireless Networking
  • Networking Experimental Platforms and Simulators
  • Methodology for Reproducible Networking Experiments
  • Future Internet Architecture and Protocols

Current Projects

  •  Currently, I am involved in the following projects:
    • SLICES-RI, is a flexible platform designed to support large-scale, experimental research focused on networking protocols, radio technologies, services, data collection, parallel and distributed computing and in particular cloud and edge-based computing architectures and services.
    • Converge, is an EU Horizon research project, seeking to combine the power of wireless communications with computer vision technology and to develop new scientific instrumentation, tools, and methods for research infrastructures. The project’s motto is “view-to-communicate and communicate-to-view”.
