Description du sujetThis project is part of the PIEEC European initiative “Microelectronics and Communications” (Important Project of Common European Interest - PIEEC) carried by the Telco operator Orange. It aims to develop concrete solutions for the next digital decade of Europe by creating and deploying secure and sustainable digital infrastructures through “5G everywhere”. The solutions will contribute to the digital transformation of businesses through vehicular infrastructure and services (vehicle-to-X) as well as private 5G networks. Collaboration with the microelectronics sector will enable alignment of research throughout the digital value chain.The main challenge of the project as a whole is to allow the entire territory to benefit from new 5G services. This necessarily requires effective and economical solutions for radio access to ensure total coverage of France_________________________________The improvement of 5G communication networks performances brings strong constraints on the implementation of MIMO systems in the RU, with enhanced capabilities in terms of multi-beam operating modes that can be dynamically changed depending on expected data rates and environmental impact. The ability to scan and to optimize communication links, with the ambition of reducing power consumption and ensuring interoperability and multimodal connections are addressed by this thesis.As part of this proposal, we are working on the development of “Plug-in” solutions for radio access interface components at the OpenRAN (Open Radio Access Network) layer, focusing on antenna systems to provide new features.--------------------------------------------------Task 1: New beam-forming concepts – State of the art: Analysis and Specifications Based on the analysis of the limitations of “off-the-shelf” solutions, the first part of the thesis aims to identify concepts of antenna networks currently used for 5G/6G Radio Units, including in particular reconfigurability radiation properties. This involves firstly analyzing the capabilities and performances of currently available solutions, by identifying the limitations (level of reconfigurability (spacial diversity, frequency, polarization, simultaneous multi-channels), control constraints (interfaces and dual TX/Rx modes possibilities), dimensions, radiation performances (isolation, gain, ...), etc...). This state-of-the-art analysis will permit to identify expected developments and performances in terms of sensing and reconfiguration operations for Base station Units.The study of technical needs for Radio Units will also address the analysis of baseband and fronthaul functions, and especially control interfaces structures supported for the monitoring of multi-sectorial radiations. Algorithm and Analog to Digital/Digital to Analog interfaces /processors commonly used for these functionalities are necessary integrated with other subsets within a Radio Unit.  Capabilities and constraints related to such interfaces are to be identified to evaluate limitations and operational configurations of Open RAN compatible with 5G/6G supported standards.Task 2: A new paradigm for reconfigurable network antenna - Concepts & Advanced designs We will investigate new approaches, with proofs of concept allowing us to offer new radio sensing and multiple beamforming functionalities. We will contribute to the design and optimization of multi-beam antennas for spatial diversity and multi-band capabilitiesTwo research strategies can be studiedOn the one hand, we will focus our efforts on the design of array antenna systems enabling subbeam control for multi-beam spatial diversity.Secondly, it could be considered to manage frequency sub-bands distinctly in terms of beamforming to provide various coverage scenarios. One issue could be the mitigation of FR1 (Sub-6Ghz) and FR2 (millimeter waves) bands thanks to co-integrated structuresTask 3: Reconfigurable network antenna solutions offering new hybrid functionalitiesThe optimization of the radio link toward users must increasingly make it possible to consider simultaneously new performances in terms of electromagnetic footprint of the radio coverage and energy consumption of the network through better exploitation of spectral resources. We propose to investigate radio sensing techniques to better manage this radio link according to user needs and quality of service, with a better consideration of the use of radio, electromagnetic and energy resources.Prise de fonction : 01/10/2024Nature du financementFinancement public/privéPrécisions sur le financementProjet partenarial financé par la BPIPrésentation établissement et labo d'accueilIMT AtlantiqueIMT Atlantique and the laboratory Lab-STICC (www.labsticc.fr) contribute to this ambitious project, by developing specific research building blocks or components.

Description du sujetCette thèse sera consacrée aux véhicules sûrs, coopératifs, connectés et automatisés. Il est possible d'améliorer considérablement les stratégies existantes en proposant de nouvelles solutions où une approche holistique de l'intégration entre la dynamique du véhicule et l'automatisation connectée est réalisée.L'objectif principal est d'améliorer l'intégration sûre, interopérable et efficace des technologies d'automatisation dans le système de transport. L'objectif est de développer de nouvelles fonctions d'automatisation pour les CAV qui tiendront compte des situations difficiles : changements dans l'état des routes, événements inattendus provenant de véhicules fermés, prise en compte de véhicules hétérogènes (voitures et camions), réactions et erreurs du conducteur (humain)...Pour développer de telles fonctions, la méthodologie s'appuiera sur trois défis principaux :- Défi 1 : Une approche de contrôle coopératif des VCA sera développée, pour laquelle de nombreuses études ont été consacrées, soit à la résolution d'un problème de consensus, soit à celle d'un problème de contrôle robuste. L'objectif est ici d'obtenir un contrôle coopératif sûr face aux erreurs du conducteur, aux changements dans les conditions de la route et de la glissade, aux véhicules hétérogènes, aux différentes trajectoires requises ....- Défi 2 : Une architecture de contrôle coordonnée/intégrée sera proposée où les mouvements longitudinaux et latéraux seront pris en compte, ce qui n'est généralement pas le cas dans les travaux actuels. Les couplages inhérents seront pris en compte (en particulier par l'interaction avec les propriétés estimées des pneus, à partir des études du ConnecTEC-lab), une planification intégrée de la trajectoire et de la vitesse et des algorithmes de contrôle seront conçus.- Défi 3 : L'interaction réelle entre les véhicules et les pneus sera prise en compte. En effet, il est clair que les situations de conduite où la sécurité routière est concernée sont caractérisées par des conditions critiques de glissement longitudinal/latéral. De nouveaux algorithmes peuvent être développés dans le cadre du ConnecTEC-lab en vue de l'estimation des caractéristiques des pneus afin d'être intégrés aux architectures de contrôle proposées.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This thesis will be devoted to safe, cooperative, connected and automated vehicles. There is actually room for large improvements of existing strategies by proposing new solutions where a holistic approach of the integration between vehicle dynamics and connected automation is achieved.The main vision is here to enhance safe, interoperable, and efficient integration of automation technologies into the transportation system. The goal is to develop new automation functions for CAVs that will account for difficult situations: changes in road conditions, unexpected event from closed vehicles, account for heterogeneous vehicles (cars & trucks), (human) driver reactions and errors…To develop such functions the methodology will rely on three main challenges:•Challenge 1: A cooperative control approach of CAVs will be developed for which many studies have been dedicated to, either solving a consensus problem or a robust control problem. The target is here to get a sake cooperative control faced to driver errors, changes in road/slip conditions, heterogeneous vehicles, various required trajectories ….•Challenge 2: A coordinated/Integrated control architecture will be proposed where the longitudinal/lateral motions will be considered which is usually not the case in current work . Inherent couplings will be accounted for (in particular through the interaction with estimated tire properties, from ConnecTEC-lab studies), integrated path & speed planning and control algorithms will be designed•Challenge 3: The real interaction between the vehicles and tires will be considered. Indeed, it is clear that driving situations where road safety is concerned are characterized by critical longitudinal/lateral slip conditions. Some new algorithms can be developed within the framework of ConnecTEC-lab in view of estimation of tire characteristics in order to be integrated to the proposed control architecturesIn this thesis, on the theoretical side, control methods will be addressed using robust control approaches for Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) Systems to account for variations in environmental conditions (road condition, curvature, ...), nonlinearities of the vehicle, tire characteristics, but also the driver's real-time behaviorThis will include to develop: LPV models for a platoon of cars, vehicle, tire and driver dynamics, LPV observers to estimate unmeasured variables and to evaluate the car/tire characteristics, LPV controllers of the coordinated longitudinal/lateral dynamics.The tasks to be carried out can be stated for the 3 challenges above as follows:Challenge 1: An LPV cooperative control in view of consensus and string stability will be proposed considering different network configurations, heterogenous vehicles, varying look-ahead time and speed, communication delays and malfunctions …The strategy will integrate several estimation algorithms for the road conditions (slip and slopes) and car parameters (from tire properties). This task will mainly concern the longitudinal motion, but, compared to existing studies, the coupling with the lateral motion will be accounted for in the case of Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) in peri-urban areasChallenge 2: A novelty will be here to develop integrated longitudinal/lateral control within the cooperative framework, in a single LPV control framework where the coupling in both vehicle dynamical motions will be considered. Such controllers must handle the variations of platoon velocity, road conditions& friction, types of vehicles, communications delays, as well as driver errors and reactions. Challenge 3: In this last challenge different algorithms/observers will be proposed to estimate vehicle and tire properties in view of the adaptation of the control algorithms to such estimators. The LPV framework will be the key tool for such adaptive control objectives in view of LPV Fault Tolerant Control schemes.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Début de la thèse : 01/10/2024Nature du financementContrat doctoralPrécisions sur le financementConcours pour un contrat doctoralPrésentation établissement et labo d'accueilUniversité Grenoble AlpesEtablissement délivrant le doctoratUniversité Grenoble AlpesEcole doctorale220 EEATS - Electronique, Electrotechnique, Automatique, Traitement du Signal (EEATS)Profil du candidatProfil : Diplôme d'ingénieur en génie électrique ou génie mécanique, ou Master en AutomatiqueCompétences :Solide expérience dans le domaine du contrôleDes connaissances en contrôle robuste sont un atoutUne expérience dans le domaine de la mobilité ou de la commande de véhicule est souhaitée.Profile: Electrical or Mechanical engineer degree, or Master in Automatic ControlSkills:Strong Control backgroundRobust control knowledge are an assetExperiences in automotive control are welcomeDate limite de candidature  07/06/2024
