About

Cédric Roux is a leading researcher in wireless communications, with a focus on open-source software-defined radio platforms and aerial network infrastructure. His work centers on integrating autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into cellular networks to enhance connectivity in challenging environments. In his highly cited 2018 paper, "Flying Rebots: First Results on an Autonomous UAV-Based LTE Relay Using Open Airinterface," Roux introduced the groundbreaking "Rebot" (Relaying Robot) concept—the first of its kind to demonstrate an autonomous flying relay that provides enhanced end-to-end LTE connectivity from a fixed base station to ground users. This work, which has garnered 36 citations, showcases his expertise in deploying Open Airinterface (OAI) for real-time, flexible network experimentation. Roux's contributions are pivotal for advancing 5G and beyond, particularly in disaster response, remote area coverage, and temporary network densification. His research not only pushes the boundaries of autonomous aerial relays but also provides an open-source framework that enables other researchers to replicate and build upon his findings, cementing his role as a key innovator in the future of wireless network design.
