About

Abdelmoula Bekkali is a leading researcher in wireless communications and positioning systems, with key contributions spanning radio frequency identification (RFID) indoor tracking and next-generation free-space optical (FSO) communications. His pioneering work on RFID-based indoor localization introduced innovative inter-tag distance measurement techniques, addressing critical challenges in ubiquitous computing and robotics. His foundational papers, including "RFID Indoor Tracking based on Inter-tags Distance Measurement" (2007, 16 citations) and its 2009 follow-up (12 citations), established practical methods for object tracking in indoor environments, influencing subsequent research in location-aware systems. More recently, Bekkali has advanced high-speed mobile FSO technology, demonstrating a 40-Gbit/s system with a high-speed beam stabilizer and 2D-photodetector array-based diversity receiver for support robots. This 2024 work achieved error-free 40-Gbit/s PAM-4 transmission over a 2.1-meter link despite zigzag transmitter movement, pushing the boundaries of reliable optical wireless links for mobile platforms. With a career spanning foundational RFID localization to cutting-edge terabit-class optical systems, Bekkali’s research continues to shape the future of wireless connectivity, bridging indoor positioning and high-capacity mobile communications.
