Telecommunications
The focus of researchers in involved in telecommunications is in the areas of telecommunications and data communications. Particular interests include systems and software issues, communications protocols and their performance, switching and transmission over copper, optical and wireless links.
Research areas
- Systems and software issues, communications protocols and their performance, switching and transmission over copper, optical and wireless links
- Modelling of high speed electronic circuits, modelling of electromagnetic wave scattering and propagation
- Wireless sensor networks
Performance Engineering Laboratory
The Performance Engineering Laboratory (PEL) is concerned with any system where performance issues arise and where the application of theoretical analysis can support the understanding or the design of the system. Results from Queueing Theory are often applied, including statistical formulations, priority schemes, dynamic systems, parallel processing and discrete event modelling and simulation.

Radio & Optical Communications Group
The Optical Communications Lab in Dublin City University was established in 1998. Upon the formation of the Research Institute for Networks and Communications Engineering (RINCE) in 1999, the Optical Communications Lab and the Radio Lab merged to form the Radio and Optical Communications Group. This group now forms one the main research laboratories within RINCE. The main goal of the Radio and Optical Communications Group is to focus on the design, simulation and demonstration of new technologies for future broadband photonic communication systems.
