June 6, 2026: IEEE spectrum recently highlighted a contribution of the WARM-M2M project.

IEEE spectrum recently highlighted a collaborative paper relating the successful transmission of Quasi-Cyclic Small Packet (QCSP) frames from Earth to a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite. This work serves as a proof of concept for header-free short frames in satellite communications, paving the way for their integration into future non-terrestrial networks (NTN), particularly for IoT devices.

WARM-M2M was involved in the analysis of the results of the experimentation.

May 21, 2026: Poster of Samya Tannir, 2nd France PhD Workshop on Information Theory, Central Supelec.

Samya Tannir presented a poster entitled “Detection of Short Frames for Unslotted Multi-User Satellite-IoT Uplink Communications” at the 2nd France PhD Workshop on Information Theory, hosted on 21st may 2026 at Centrale Supélec .

The work addresses reliable detection for short-frame unslotted random access communications in Satellite‑IoT systems, with particular attention to challenging environments affected by sporadic traffic, multi-user interference, and Doppler effects. The presented ongoing research combines Tensor‑Based Modulation (TBM) and OTFS modulation techniques for multi‑user satellite uplink communications and post-processing results obtained using real satellite transmission data with QCSP (Quasi‑Cyclic Short Packet) frames.

Beyond the poster itself, the workshop offered an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas with researchers and PhD students working in information theory and signal processing.
