Currently, I am Research Associate, carrying post-doctoral studies, at the Centre for Telecommunications Research (CTR) at King's College London (KCL), London UK. I earned my PhD degree in Wireless Communications at the Centre for Wireless Network Design (CWiND) at University of Bedfordshire (UoB), London, UK, and I received my Bachelor and Master degrees in Telecommunications from Miguel Hernandez University (UMH), Elche, Spain in 2003 and 2006, respectively. As invited researcher, I was visiting DOCOMO Innovation Labs in Palo Alto, California in 2011, and Institut National des Sciences Appliquees (INSA) in Lyon, France in 2009. I was nominated Exemplary Reviewer for IEEE Communications Letter in 2011. From 2010, I am
or I have been guest editor of a number of journals, e.g., ACM Springer Mobile
Networks and Applications (MONET) and EURASIP Journal of Computer
Networks and Communications (JCNC), and I
am or I have been chair of a number of workshops, e.g., the 1st
International Workshop on Broadband Femtocells: Paving the way to
HetNets (former coHetNet), in conjunction with IEEE WCNC
2012, the 2nd Workshop on Femtocell Networks (FEMnet), in
conjunction with IEEE Globecom 2011, the
1st International Workshop on Cooperative Heterogeneous Networks
(coHetNets), in conjunction with IEEE ICCCN 2011,
and
the fourth Internation Workshop on Femtocells, in conjunction with
IEEE Wireless Advanced 2011. Moreover, I have also been panelist at "Dense Small Cell Deployments in Future Radio Access Networks", IEEE Globecom, Dec., Houston USA, 2011. I am editor and author of the following books: "Heterogeneous Cellular Networks: Theory, Simulation and Deployment", Cambridge University Press, 2012, "Femtocell Networks: Deployment, PHY Techniques, and Resource Management", Cambridge University Press, 2012 and "Femtocells:
Technologies and Deployment",
Willey & Sons, 2009. In 2009, my paper "OFDMA femtocells: a roadmap on interference avoidance", (IEEE Communications Magazine, vol. 47, no. 9, pp. 41 - 48, Sept. 2009) was ranked in 47 of the top 100 documents accessed in IEEExplore in Oct. 2009, and currently has more than 150 citations.
In 2007, I was awarded with a Marie-Curie Fellowship for PhD studies at CWiND at UoB, Luton, UK, where I particiapted in the FP6 Marie Curie project: "RANPLAN-HEC ” (MESTCT-2005-020958), and the first EPSRC-funded research project on femtocells: “The feasibility study of WiMAX based femtocells for indoor coverage” (EP/F067364/1). In 2006, I took up a research scholarship at the Centre for Adaptive Wireless Systems (AWS) at Cork Institute of Technology (CIT), Cork, Ireland. I worked for a year on a project called “UbiOne – The Multi-Modal WiFi Positioning System”. The main goal of the project was to prove that the major disadvantages of the poor accuracy of existing indoor location systems can be overcome by fusing two complementary location techniques, radio signal strength indication (RSSI) and radio signal time of flight (TOF) with a unique self-calibrating approach. In 2005, I was with VODAFONE SPAIN, working at the Radio Frequency Department in the area of network planning and optimization, where I participated in the development of the VODAFONE Automatic Frequency Planning tool for GSM and DCS networks.
