“Theory that


matters!”

Research Philosophy

Communication networks are always built to serve the people for their given needs. Currently, communication networks need to provide low latency, resilience, security and not just bare throughput. Our research philosophy can be described as “Theory that matters!”. Theoretical fundamental research results are tested using different approaches such as simulations, software in the loop, hardware in the loop, and testbeds. Importantly, implementations are not merely used to show feasibility, but rather to derive further relevant research questions by exposing theory to the real world. We apply this philosophy to all our research areas.

Projects

The chair is leading the excellence cluster Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop (CeTI). In addition, Professor Fitzek is also coordinator of the 6G-life project, which is funded by the BMBF and realized together with the Technical University of Munich.

In addition, Professor Fitzek is the coordinator of the 5G Lab Germany at the TU Dresden, which encompasses an interdisciplinary team of 23 professors and almost 600 employees from various research institutes. He also coordinates the large-scale project 6G-life, which is funded by the BMBF and realized together with the Technical University of Munich.

Testbeds

We use testbeds to safely and effectively test new network technologies in controlled settings. This helps us repeat tests exactly and create reliable and practical solutions for telecommunications.
