MOSAIC Lab is a multidisciplinary research laboratory led by Prof. Dr. Tarik Taleb, joining networking, edge computing, artificial intelligence, embedded systems, security and automation to shape the technologies behind next-generation mobile networks.
How we work
Every result we publish has been built and measured first.
Open-source 5G/6G stacks, edge clouds and orchestration platforms, built and run in our own lab.
ImplementationsEnd-to-end trials on real hardware: vehicles, drones, XR devices and satellite links.
ProjectsData from every experiment feeds models for AI-native network control and automation.
ResearchResults published at top venues and carried into 3GPP, ETSI and industry roadmaps.
PublicationsResearch directions
Network softwarization, edge cloud and AI-native control, applied where 6G has to deliver: on the road, in immersive services, in orbit and in the air.
All researchDeterministic connectivity, cooperative perception and in-network intelligence for vehicles that decide in milliseconds.
Holographic and XR traffic served from the edge, with latency budgets held end to end.
Satellite, HAPS and terrestrial segments stitched into one programmable fabric.
Connected drone swarms: control loops, handover and airborne edge computing.

Philosophy
We combine fundamental research with system architecture, implementation, prototyping and experimental validation to develop intelligent, connected, secure and sustainable technologies for future communication and computing systems.
We build testbeds, prototype new concepts, integrate open technologies, and validate ideas in realistic environments. Our ambition is to transform innovative ideas into practical solutions while contributing to the technologies and standards that will shape future networks.
