Andrea Tonello leads the Wireless and Power Line Communications Lab (WiPLi Lab) at the University of Udine. His research activity focuses on wireless and power line communications with emphasis to PHY and MAC layers. The main research areas currently are:
Next generation wireless systems
- Air interface design and analysis for Gbps networks
- Cross layer design and optimization
- Multicarrier multiuser communications
- Filtered multitone modulation (FMT), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)
- Ultra-wide-band (UWB) systems
- MIMO, space-time bit-interleaved coded modulation (ST-BICM)
Infomobility and vehicular systems
- Vehicular communications V2V and V2I
- Positioning and localization techniques
