Descrizione:
Future Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM) systems will operate in highly dynamic urban environments characterized by heterogeneous connectivity, partial observability, and stringent safety requirements. In these scenarios, communication, sensing, and coordination mechanisms cannot be designed independently, as the availability and quality of information directly affect cooperative decision-making and traffic safety. This thesis investigates the use of Agentic Artificial Intelligence (Agentic AI) for predictive and cooperative V2X communication systems. The objective is to design distributed AI agents capable of perceiving the communication and environmental context, reasoning on network conditions and sensing information, and autonomously adapting communication and coordination strategies in real time. Particular attention will be devoted to predictive communication techniques exploiting digital-twin information, sensing-aware representations, and multi-frequency vehicular communication models. The activity will focus on urban scenarios involving connected and non-connected vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and vulnerable road users under heterogeneous communication conditions. The student will investigate how AI-driven agents can support adaptive information dissemination, cooperative perception, task orchestration, and communication-aware coordination while accounting for latency, reliability, and observability constraints. The work will combine simulation and experimental activities using advanced vehicular networking and digital-twin frameworks, including tools such as NS-3, SUMO, Sionna, and ray-tracing-based communication models. Depending on the thesis scope and student interests, the work may also include the integration of sensing data, distributed learning approaches, and experimental validation on real communication platforms. The thesis is part of ongoing research activities at Politecnico di Milano with Institute of Science Tokyo formerly Tokyo Tech on next-generation V2X systems, digital twins, and AI-driven wireless communication for future CCAM and 6G vehicular networks.

Descrizione:
This thesis explores the use of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as passive sensing platforms for multi-user identification and localization in 5G cellular networks. Building on recent advances in UAV-based signal intelligence, the work aims to enhance the accuracy, robustness, and efficiency of user localization by combining advanced signal processing techniques with adaptive UAV mission planning. The research will investigate methods for extracting spatial information from uplink reference signals, addressing challenges such as multi-user interference, multipath propagation, and limited sensing time. In addition, the thesis will study intelligent trajectory optimization strategies that allow the UAV to dynamically adapt its flight path based on real-time signal measurements, balancing localization performance and energy consumption. The expected outcome is a scalable and infrastructure-independent framework for reliable user localization, with strong potential impact in emergency response, disaster recovery, and next-generation wireless network monitoring.
