Subject description
The research area of this doctoral student deals with Massive MIMO, a wireless communication technique gaining much attention as a cornerstone for 5th generation wireless systems and beyond since a massive number of antennas and transceiver chains lead to large gains in spectral and energy efficiencies. Due to the large industrial interest in the area, we have initiated a large joint research project with Ericsson AB, where we jointly are going to investigate different aspects of massive MIMO technologies and applications. This particular position is focused on radio channel characterization for mm wave systems using a large number of antennas. Of special interest are the directional properties and the dynamic properties of mm wave channels, which then will be used as input when deriving channel models and developing beamforming strategies for future wireless communication systems.
