Abstract :
Broadband internet access is an essential part in modern life society. Offering universal, cheap and ultrabroadband internet connectivity is a top priority within the European Digital Agenda. The Nokia Bell Labs Fixed Networks Team located in Antwerp is recognized for pioneering and contributing to breakthroughs in wireline broadband internet access technologies. These technologies enable data communication at gigabit speeds between residential customers and the fiber backbone, and are characterized by optimization-intensive physical-layer designs. This seminar will explain a number of optimization problems that are considered in practice to innovate communication technologies. The main aim of this seminar is to show that the application of optimization theory is very relevant for industry.
