Distributed Wireless Systems possess a high potential for orchestrating ad-hoc devices and resources into sophisticated infrastructures and services. This necessitates methods for accessing shared (radio) resources, temporal synchronization, and dynamic orchestration of distributed functions. These aspects will be explored using examples of WLAN and Wireless Sensor Networks, as well as cloud-native mobile network architectures. Especially, future-oriented mechanisms of artificial intelligence will be examined to enhance the efficiency, resilience, and security of these systems.

1. System Aspects

2. Access Mechanisms for Shared Resources

3. Reliable Mobile Data Transmission                                                

4. Local Wireless Systems (WLAN, Bluetooth, Etc.)

5. Distributed Real-Time Systems

6. Cloud-Native Networking (5G, 6G Mobile Networks)

    i. Software Defined Networking and Virtualization

    ii. Service-Based Architectures and Orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Etc. in Cloud Native Mobile Network Archtectures)

7. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Network Optimisation
