Researcher in Radio Network Performance i Luleå

Location: Luleå, Norrbotten, SE

Company: Ericsson

Req. ID: 204317

Ericsson Research develops new communication solutions and standards. The organization has responsibility to provide Ericsson with world-class system concepts, technology innovations, and methodology. Rapidly increasing demands for mobile broadband access in combination with needs for new technology and solutions for scenarios motivated by the ongoing transformation of society into a society where everything that benefits from being connected will be connected – the networked society – creates challenging and exciting opportunities for our organization. Building on our experience from real network operations, profound knowledge about existing standards, and forward looking research, we invent and master advanced concepts and solutions that shape today’s and tomorrow’s mobile radio communication.

Job description

Within Ericsson Research, Research Area Radio is responsible for providing advanced system and signal processing concepts and solutions, including antenna concepts and solutions, targeting standardization of radio access systems as well as implementation in network nodes and in user or machine terminals. As Researcher within the Radio department, you will be part of investigating and evaluating concepts and solutions for future radio access technologies and standards, such as NR. You will also be part of the continuous development and improvement work of existing standards, such as LTE, WiFi. Mastering physical layer techniques is key (multiple access technologies, modulation, channel coding, parameter estimation, multi-antenna transmitter and receiver algorithms, etc.). Using simulation tools as means of evaluation is natural part of the work. Understanding the interaction between link and system performance, to ensure that proposed access solutions are enabling efficient overall performance is also crucial. Furthermore, understanding hardware possibilities and limitations, based on today’s and tomorrow’s technologies is qualifying. Over time our staff will work with algorithm design, model and simulator tool development, simulations, concept design and standardization.

A wide range of additional opportunities, such as testbed implementation and field performance tasks, exist as well. This approach enables each researcher to develop a truly broad competence and a holistic view. The work is performed in projects that may incorporate internal and external research collaborations.

The available Researcher position will strengthen our research on communication concepts for, e.g., mobile broadband, machine type communication, broadcast, device-to-device communication, and shorter-range communication solutions. It could also include standardization of the above-mentioned areas.
