Mohamed-Aymen LABIOD

Mohamed Aymen Labiod (mohamed-aymen.labiod@u-pec.fr) s an Associate professor at Paris-Est Creteil University (UPEC) and researcher at the Laboratoire Images, Signaux et Systemes Intelligents (LiSSi) as part of the TINCNET research team. His main research themes focus are 5G and 6G architecture, network slicing, mobile networks, multi-access networks protocol, multi-connectivity, scheduling, adaptive resource allocation, cross-layer approaches, quality of experience (QoE) assessment, and multimedia communication under low latency constraints.

Academic Background

I began my academic journey by obtaining a Master’s degree in Telecommunications, Networks, and Multimedia from Badji Mokhtar University in Annaba, Algeria. I then pursued a joint international Ph.D. with the Polytechnic University of Hauts-de-France (UPHF), focusing on the joint optimization of sources, channels, and protocols for video transmission in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET). My thesis, titled “Contribution to the Improvement of Video Transmission in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET)”, was defended in July 2019. Alongside my research work and until September 2020, I also held a position as a Temporary Teaching and Research Assistant (ATER) at the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) Hauts-de-France and the Valenciennes University Institute of Technology.

Since September 2020, I have been a Lecturer at the University of Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC), where I teach in the Networks and Telecommunications Department (IUT of Créteil/Vitry). In parallel, I also contribute to the activities of the Public School of Health and Digital Engineering (EPISEN).

Teaching Responsibilities

Program Director for the first year of the Bachelor of Technology in Networks and Telecommunications (BUT RT) at the IUT of Créteil/Vitry (since 2023).
Recruitment Coordinator for admissions outside of the Parcoursup system for the Networks and Telecommunications (RT) department at the IUT of Créteil/Vitry (since 2022).
Recruitment and Liaison Officer for preparatory classes (CPGE) in the Engineering and Health Technologies (ITS) department at EPISEN (2021-2024).
Communications Officer for the ITS department, responsible for coordinating communication efforts with IUTs in the Île-de-France region and Bachelor’s programs (2022-2024).
Third-Year Program Advisor for the ITS department, serving as the faculty advisor for the third-year engineering cycle (Master’s level, Bac+5) during the 2021/2022 academic year.

Scientific Responsibilities

Member of the CIR research team at the LISSI laboratory (EA 3956), with my work focusing on two major areas:

  1. Highly dynamic networks, particularly in the context of technologies applied to connected health, such as the development of connected ambulances.
  2. Quality of Experience (QoE) prediction, where my research focuses on analyzing physiological signals to estimate QoE during the use of multimedia services.

Platforms

Multi-Access Network Platform: We designed and implemented a multi-access network deployment platform tested in various urban mobile environments (subway, RER, vehicles, etc.). This platform provides a flexible communication infrastructure for validating solutions under real-world conditions. It was developed in collaboration with Tuan Chu and Abdelhamid Mellouk.
5G Platform: I co-developed a 5G platform based on Software-Defined Radio (SDR) and OpenAirInterface, enabling the testing of 5G mobile network performance across different scenarios. This platform includes advanced features such as network traffic monitoring and integration with IoT platforms.
QoE Evaluation Platform based on Physiological Signals: In partnership with medical teams (Henri Mondor University Hospital), we established a platform to assess user quality of experience (QoE) using physiological data, such as EEG, incorporating a predictive approach based on affective computing.

Projects

Project funded under a UPEC Call for Proposals (2nd semester of 2024) “Research Quality Bonus (BQR)” – EMO5G: Development of a Multimodal Platform to Predict Quality of Experience (QoE) in 5G using Affective Computing (JC–2024). The project focuses on developing a reliable and accurate QoE prediction model in 5G using various physiological signals. Period: 2024-2025.
Project Leads: Mohamed Aymen Labiod and Abdelhamid Mellouk

Project funded under a UPEC Call for Proposals (1st semester of 2023) “Research Quality Bonus (BQR)” in collaboration with the MuSAE Lab (Multisensory/Multimodal Signal Analysis and Enhancement Lab), Montreal (Quebec), Canada: The project focuses on developing a reliable and accurate QoE prediction model using various physiological signals and advanced machine learning techniques in connected health. Period: 2022-2024.
Project Leads: Mohamed Aymen Labiod and Abdelhamid Mellouk

Project funded under a UPEC Call for Proposals (1st semester of 2020) “Teaching-Research Quality Bonus (BQ-ER)” in collaboration with Henri Mondor University Hospital (APHP): This project involved studying attentional engagement in university teaching using consumer-grade brain-machine interfaces. Period: 2020-2021.
Project Leads: Yann Senova, Mohamed Aymen Labiod, and Abdelhamid Mellouk
