Machine Learning-based Low Latency Holographic-type Communications
Qualification: Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering (PhD)
Start date: 6th October 2025
Application deadline: 30th April 2025
This project aims to reduce the network latency of HTC with a focus on the adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR) algorithm. An innovative machine learning (ML)/artificial intelligence (AI) approach will be designed to deliver point cloud data by jointly considering network conditions, computing capability, and end users’ experience. The proposed approach will be validated in both the simulation and the real-world HTC testbed. A use case of an immersive telesurgery will be demonstrated in collaboration with medical and hospital partners in the UK.
