The IRIDA Lab is a recently established Strategic Research unit at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of UCY, conducting both basic and applied research in the broad area of wireless communication theory and its applications. The research team represents a unique blend of knowledge in the area of wireless communication theory, signal processing, and optimization theory. The research undertaken at IRIDA, deals with various types of wireless communication networks such as machine-to-machine communications, cellular networks, relaying, cognitive radio, heterogeneous networks, and wireless- powered communications. The IRIDA Lab has close and frequent collaboration with world-leading academic and industrial institutions in the area of telecommunications in Cyprus, Europe and beyond. It has a vast experience in managing small and large-scale research projects funded by the Cyprus RIF and the EC. Currently, IRIDA is participating in eight research projects, five of which are coordinated by IRIDA, including the highly prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant “APOLLO” and the ERC Proof-of-Concept “WAVE”.
