KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm has grown to become one of Europe’s leading technical and engineering universities, as well as a key centre of intellectual talent and innovation. We are Sweden’s largest technical research and learning institution and home to students, researchers and faculty from around the world. Our research and education covers a wide area including natural sciences and all branches of engineering, as well as architecture, industrial management, urban planning, history and philosophy.
Project description
While 5G networks have been deployed, 6G mobile techniques have been investigated and developed recently. To achieve ambitious objectives, (ultra) massive MIMO is considered to be one of key candidate technologies, which can provide high rates and large coverage. This project will investigate the emerging technologies, jointly with massive MIMO such as lens antenna and large intelligent surface. The student will have opportunities to strengthen cutting-edge knowledge in communication, information theory and optimization. The project will be hosted by the Division of Information Science and Engineering.
Third-cycle subject: Electrical Engineering
Supervision: Associate Professor Ming Xiao
