About this position
This postdoctoral project at CNRS focuses on evaluating and improving GNSS-free tracking systems for mobile objects using multi-gateway LoRaWAN networks. The research addresses a practical challenge in low-power localization: how to track people, animals, or objects when satellite-based GNSS is unavailable, unreliable, or too energy-intensive for long-duration deployments.
The project is centered on the study of a LoRaWAN network with multiple gateways as a solution for very low-power geolocation. The work aims to define algorithms capable of predicting the behavior of moving objects, with tracking performance linked to how frequently the target reports its presence. This creates a trade-off between localization precision and the number of objects that can be tracked, making the project relevant to scalable, energy-efficient tracking infrastructures.
The position sits within a research context that considers both the limits of GNSS-based localization and the potential of alternative architectures when satellite signals are interrupted or unavailable. The successful candidate will contribute to research on mobility-aware localization methods and the performance of emerging wireless tracking systems.
