Welcome to the Drexel Wireless Systems Laboratory
“Wireless Innovations for Tomorrow”
We are an experimental wireless communications research group focused on applying techniques from many different disciplines to develop new wireless technologies.
Mission
The primary mission of the Drexel Wireless Systems Laboratory (DWSL) is to take a systems-centric view of new and emerging wireless technologies using a combination of interdisciplinary research, advanced simulations, and hardware prototyping. DWSL is focused on experimental wireless communications for a diverse set of applications including: 6G technologies, wireless network cybersecurity, medical cyberphysical systems, smart cities, UAV based communications, and the Internet of Things.
Ongoing projects at DWSL encompass a wide ranging number of research areas that reflects its systems level approach to studying and solving problems in wireless communications. The lab is also working with faculty members across the university to extend its research impact into diverse areas such as medicine and functional fabrics for biomedical applications, 6G and IoT applications, UAV-based communication and sensing, smart cities, and augmented reality for wireless communication education.
