Research TopicsThere are seven topics to choose from, in the table below, to participate in this exciting and dynamic program:

Topic	Purpose	Ericsson Supervisor(s)
1. Intelligent multi-objective link adaptation in 5G NR	To investigate and build an AI-powered link adaptation solution that recommends MCS, TBS, and RB allocation by considering throughput maximization, and transmission delay minimization while satisfying QoS and being resilient to data drift and concept drift.	Medhat Elsayed, Majid Bavand
2. 3D Stacked Antenna Technology	To understand the fundamental design space and the design trade-offs of 3D stacked antenna arrays and to prove the technology using a hardware prototype.	Pierre-Andre Laporte
3. Assurance: AI framework/model for anomaly detection & future prediction	Using AI/ML solutions (existing or building new models) to read the network/slice (metrics/alerts/topology) data and train the model to detect the anomalies and predict the cause in near real-time.	Sachin Kumar
4. 5G New Radio Positioning	Developing new positioning methods based on 5G NR signals, extending 5G positioning capabilities with mmWave frequency bands, an analytical and evaluation framework for 5G positioning, analysis and optimization of resource allocation for 5G positing, and developing information-theoretical models for 5G positioning.	Xiao Lu
5. Radio Log Anomaly Detection (RLAD) – RU Smart Debugging Tool	Using advanced Machine Learning methods to improve Ericsson's debugging experience and diagnose a problem instantly. This tool is a stepping stone to becoming an AI quality tool for the future.	Brian Le
6. Networks for RAN processing	Identify and quantify transport technologies and architecture to support the RAN processing.	Glenn Parsons
7. Quantum 6G Technologies	Leverage published prototyped expertise in quantum radar, including signal generation, amplification, transmission, reception, and correlation, to assess the viability of this technology for next-generation 6G radios.	Roland Smith, Dr. Hazeem Ibrahim
