Internship: Machine Learning for Interference rejection in Body Area Networks
Leuven
NXP Semiconductors
Motivation
There are several wireless communication technologies that can be used to create a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) and they could operate at different frequency bands. Some examples of this are at very low frequencies around 10MHz and other examples operate at ISM bands like 864MHz, 2.4Ghz etc.
Irrespective of which frequency bank WBAN operates, unwanted interfering signals can significantly degrade the communication link performance of a WBAN. Finding methods to mitigate these interferers is essential to ensure a robust communication link
Work
Signal separation or interference mitigation will help in extracting the required signal of interest and thereby improving the fidelity and performance of the communication link. Source separation activity using Machine Learning (ML) techniques have demonstrated signification performance improvements in other domains link vision, audio, etc.
The goal here is to apply machine learning techniques to RF signals, where the wanted signal of interest and any unwanted signals are identified and separated. The work will involve setting up a ML environment to train a ML model with database(s) comprising of wanted communication signals along with relevant interference signals. The student should also study / look into wider ML challenges taking place in this domain, where training data bases are available. This can be a good starting point to setup the ML environment and start the investigation of algorithms.
This work is planned for around 5 months full-time internship at NXP.
Deliverable
The result of the work will be to come up with a ML framework / environment and the required algorithms, ML models that will demonstrate interference rejection capability in a WBAN communication link.
