Description

Join our Team About this opportunity: Radio units for mobile communication are constantly pushing the limits and use the latest technology to support as many concurrent users with reliable wireless connections with as high bit rate as possible. One way to enable this is the use of massive MIMO, where a large set of antennas can be used to control the direction of radio beams. When using a large set of antennas, the radio needs to expand incoming data to be transferred into unique data streams for each antenna, creating very high data rates on the interfaces between different functions inside the radio product. To use the available bandwidth for data transfers between separate devices as efficiently as possible, data fields are optimized to a minimal size, which must be expanded at the receiver side. What you will do: This master/bachelor thesis is about exploring how to efficiently retrieve data fields from an incoming data stream and then present them to the following device-internal functions. The solution should be programmable, with easy-to-use high-level software, so it can be easily adapted to future variants of the incoming stream format. The chosen solution should be implemented in RTL and verified by simulation. The following steps are envisioned as part of the thesis work: Investigate and compare current research covering different types of packet decoders Implement and test using simulation (real test equipment/FPGA if available from main project) Analyze results and present area and max bitrate for a selected target FPGA The thesis will be concluded with a result presentation for the Ericsson research team. The skills you bring: This project aims at students in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering or similar. Background in wireless communication is preferred. Extent: 2 students, 30 hp each Location: Lund Preferred Starting Date: February/2026
