researResearch
enables to federate research works in electronics,
micro-waves, signal processing, digital
communications and networks.
Moreover, Télécom Bretagne teams (electronics,
networks, signal processing, digital
communications, optics, micro-waves, human
sciences and ergonomics) come together along
other topics like “Smart transport” (driving and
traffic management assistance systems) through the
projects of the research cluster Id4Car,
collaborations with researchers of Inrets (Institut
national de recherche dans les transports et la
sécurité). Besides, Télécom Bretagne is member of
the scientific group ITS Bretagne of which it chairs
the steering committee. Last, in the area of
technologies for health and ambient assisted living,
research activities and collaborations between
various teams (Image processing, computer science,
human sciences) and healthcare professionals are
growing. More recently, a specific action on ICT and
Energy Efficiency has been launched and should lead
to the creation of a new team on this transversal
topic.
3.4 Memorable scientific results and publications
Among the memorable scientific results of Télécom
Bretagne researchers, the development of a new
diversity modulation technique by a team of the
Electronics department and of the LabSTICC has to
be outlined. This technique is based on the principle
of constellation rotation and I/Q interleaving in a
context of coded modulation for data transmission
on very disturbed and fading channels. It brings
significant gains in performance for digital broadcast
for isochronous emitter networks and has been
adopted by the DVB-T2 terrestrial digital broadcast
standard. In addition, along with Breton Teamcast
and Spanish Sidsa SMEs, a project called SME42
aiming at validating this new standard has been
proposed and ranked #1 among the 300 projects
reviewed in June 2008.
2008 has witnessed an increase of 20% of the
Télécom Bretagne papers published in scientific
journals (See Table 2 for the distribution of
publications). It is Télécom Bretagne policy to
encourage publication and dissemination of
research results. To this end, we participate in the
Institut Télécom group working on the portal to
access the HAL open archive. A similar approach is
followed in parallel among UEB.
