Ranplan Group AB (RNP), is seeking to appoint a high-calibre doctoral candidate to join the Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Doctoral Network 'joInt wireless commuNicaTion and sEnsinG by hologRaphic surfAce TranscEivers' (INTEGRATE).
The INTEGRATE project focuses on the theoretical, algorithmic, and architectural foundations of integrated communication and sensing networks, developing the first open access network-level simulator for joint communication and sensing.
INTEGRATE will:
1) develop reconfigurable holographic surfaces (RHSs) capable of supporting joint communication and sensing tasks and that can be integrated in wireless transceivers with minimal cost and energy requirements;
2) Characterize the fundamental performance limits of integrated communication and sensing networks, developing an algorithmic framework and protocol suite to approach these limits;
3) Build the first open access software simulation platform for joint communication and sensing networks.
Position title: RNP-1 - Ray-tracing simulation environment for RHS-based integrated communication and sensing networks
Research project: This project aims at developing new ray-tracing modules able to account for the presence of RHSs. New software routines will be developed in order to develop a ray-tracing software capable of supporting the near-field propagation in the presence of RHSs.
Objectives: Develop a new ray tracing module that accounts for the presence of RHS-based transceivers in large-scale networks.
PhD enrolment: The selected applicant will be enrolled into a Ph.D. program at King's College, London, while working to the project.
Location: Riddargarten 18, Floor 1, S-114 51, Stockholm, Sweden.
Working Time: Full-time
Duration: Fixed-term (3 years).
Salary: In agreement with the MSCA-DN financial regulations, including living, mobility, and family allowances.
Secondment: RNP-1 will spend a research stay of 8 months at another partner of the INTEGRATE project. The planned secondment for RNP-1 is at King's College, London.
