General information
Organisation
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a key player in research, development and innovation in four main areas :
• defence and security,
• nuclear energy (fission and fusion),
• technological research for industry,
• fundamental research in the physical sciences and life sciences.
Drawing on its widely acknowledged expertise, and thanks to its 16000 technicians, engineers, researchers and staff, the CEA actively participates in collaborative projects with a large number of academic and industrial partners.
The CEA is established in ten centers spread throughout France

Job description
The goal of this PhD is to explore the potential of machine learning (ML) tools for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) applications, while leveraging multipath radio signals between cooperative wireless devices. The idea is to identify characteristic features of the propagation channels observed over multiple radio links, so as to jointly determine the relative positions of the mobile radio devices, as well as those of scattering objects present in their vicinity. Such radio features typically rely on the arrival times of multipath echos of the transmitted signals. The envisaged approach is expected to benefit from multipath correlation as the radio devices are moving, as well as from spatial diversity and information redundancy through multi-device cooperation. The developed solution will be evaluated on both real measurements collected with integrated Ultra Wideband devices in a reference indoor environment, and synthetic data generated with a Ray-Tracing simulator. Possible applications of this research concern group navigation in complex and/or unknown environments (incl. fleets of drones or robots, firefighters…).
