More information about this doctoral network: MSCA MiFuture (uc3m.es)
The supervisory team for the industrial PhD position consists of:
Prof. Liang Liu, Lund University
Dr. Henrik Sjöland, Ericsson

What you will do:
* Analyzing multi-antenna solutions for ultra massive MIMO within wireless devices (UE), evaluating antenna configurations and signal processing requirements for different device form factors. Both communication and sensing use cases will be studied.
* Quantifying the potential benefits of using multiple antennas in an ultra massive MIMO UE operating at carrier frequencies up to the mmW range.
* Developing efficient signaling and signal processing methods with a minimum of power consumption and signaling overhead.
* Developing novel concepts, solutions, and algorithms with emphasis on communication and environment awareness technologies for mobile devices and protect them with Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).

The skills you bring:
* University master's degree and be eligible to enroll in a PhD program.
* Been a resident or carried out your main activity (work, studies, etc.) in another EU country than Sweden at least 24 months of the last 36 months.
