Very large networks and systems

The “Very large networks and systems” area focuses particularly on the design and study of future emerging technologies, whether for mobile networks like 5G, wireless networks, optical networks or the future internet.

Télécom Paris has expertise in all research areas in this field; its teams design the systems and infrastructures of tomorrow – which must be global, integrated, agile and sustainable.

The two main challenges of this area are:

  • The scalability of systems: continuous yet sustainable increase in capacities for transmission (optical, radio etc), communication, storage and processing, number and diversity of connected objects, content and users.
  • New architectural paradigms which are global, integrated, distributed, agile, programmable, intelligent and self-organized, leading to the emergence of unpredictable behavior.

 

Key figures

Research

The school leads two teaching and research chairs and three joint research initiatives with companies.

Lincs: Internet of the future

The LINCS laboratory – Laboratory for Information, Networking and Communication Sciences, a joint research laboratory for the Internet of the future, was created in October 2010 by Nokia, Inria, Sorbonne University and Télécom Paris and officially launched in May 2011. The technological research institute SystemX has since joined the laboratory.

MOP: Model-Oriented Programming

Electronic hardware architecture that supports future telecommunications regulations (such as 5G) will be highly diverse and complex. To simplify the programming of digital infrastructures, researchers from Télécom Paris and Nokia Bell Labs France involved in this joint laboratory are trying to tackle two issues: rewriting code and the optimal use of electronic architecture.

TTool: The future of 5G

To help prepare for next-generation mobile networks, the primary objective of this collaboration between Nokia Bell Labs and Télécom Paris is to develop new programming techniques and algorithms based on high-level models that allow engineers to distance themselves from the complexity of these platforms and to (re)program them quickly. These techniques and algorithms will be integrated and made available in the computer-aided design tool TTool/Diplodocus under a free license.
