CWC Past Research Projects
Connected Health
The Connected Health program at UC San Diego seeks to enable radical changes in the delivery of health care, from today's reactive care models to a next-generation of proactive, continuous and personalized care using innovations in wireless Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) including novel medical devices and applications, together with innovations in AR/VR, machine vision and artificial intelligence, edge/cloud computing and wireless IoMT communications.

Connected and Autonomous Vehicles
We envision the need for a novel and completely collaborative approach for safer, more efficient and eco-friendly commutes in addition to current day V2V propositions. Real-time streaming data from multiple participants - vehicles, pedestrians and smart street IoTs (like smart traffic lights and pedestrian crossings) - when aggregated, fused and analyzed can provide an accurate, complete and dynamic street situational awareness to all the street participants, leading to collaborative and personalized guidance and advanced warnings services. As part of this project we are developing algorithms to accurately fuse data from multiple sources as well as determine the state of mind and intent of drivers inside vehicles. To enable this collaborative platform, we are developing reliable mmWave V2X communications techniques and enhanced edge computing resource allocation algorithms. Underlying all of our research is a vehicular and roadway testbed that supports data collection and validation of the developed techniques both on the UCSD campus and deployed alongside our city partners in the future.

Wireless AR/VR
We are developing techniques to enable a truly portable and mobile VR/AR experience, with lightweight VR/AR glasses wirelessly connecting with edge/cloud computing devices that perform the rendering remotely. Our projects explore and develop techniques to enable three Degrees of Freedom (3DoF) and six Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) immersive experiences, with both natural videos and AR/VR applications, addressing both the ultra-high throughput and ultra-low latency requirements of such applications.

RF Safety
This project is in collaboration with Safe Dynamics, Keysight Technologies and other CWC member companies. The focus of this project is to determine how RF emissions from the antennas of 5G base stations and small cells deployed in homes, buildings and neighborhoods, including sub-6 GHz and mmWave, may impact human exposure levels based on various technology parameters and implementations for commercial deployments as per existing RF emission regulations.
