About

Dr. Olga Vikhrova is a researcher at the forefront of next-generation cellular network design, with a primary focus on the efficient delivery of group-oriented and multicast services. Her work addresses a critical challenge in the 5G era: the explosive growth of connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices, including sensors, video cameras, and robots. Dr. Vikhrova’s key contribution lies in optimizing how these devices are organized into groups to receive data over Point-to-Multipoint connections. Her most-cited paper, "Paging Group Size Distribution for Multicast Services in 5G Networks" (2020), which has garnered 4 citations, provides foundational insights into the statistical distribution of group sizes—a crucial parameter for network resource allocation and signaling efficiency. This work is instrumental in enabling scalable and reliable multicast for massive IoT deployments. By tackling the practical constraints of paging and group management, Dr. Vikhrova is helping to shape the architecture that will support the next wave of connected devices, ensuring that 5G networks can handle the diverse and dense traffic patterns of the future.
