We have been granted a new project under the California-Catalunya Program for Engineering Innovation. The project is an extension of the project carried out during the previous years and it will deal with scheduling and synchronization aspects of LTE. It will be carried out together with Professor Lee Swindlehurst of the Henry Samueli School of Engineering at the University of California at Irvine, and it involves the exchange of researchers between UAB and the University of Califonia. The project is also supported by Indra Espacio S.A. and the Aerospace and Research Technology Center (CTAE).

The California-Catalunya Engineering Innovation Program is an exciting collaboration jointly sponsored by the University of California at Irvine, Pete Balsell (Bal Seal Engineering Inc.) and the Generalitat de Catalunya to explore new approaches to support and sustain innovations in the translation of research into results that benefit both California and Catalonia. The long-term goal of the program is to stimulate the transformation of knowledge created at the academic level into innovations that create new wealth and build strong local, regional and inter-related national economies. In this regards, the objectives of the program are fully in-line with the objectives of the Chair of Knowledge and Technology Transfer Parc de Recerca UAB - Santander, which is held by our group, resulting in a good synergy between both inniatives.
