Purpose and goal
The project has fulfilled its purpose and goals as summarized above. The project funds enabled to consolidate and make further progress within the Matwab project through the recruitment of a postdoc. Meanwhile, additional funds were attracted such that a PhD student position could be created and filled.
Results and expected effects
We have contributed with our research within the area interference coordination of dense heterogeneous networks within CHASE-Matwab and EU FP7 METIS, and several of our contributions are part of the preliminary METIS system concept. The research within the area has generated more than 60 scientific journals and conference papers within IEEE (accepted, under review or submitted) since beginning of 2013. Several papers are produced during the project duration and are under review or final preparation for submission. Two Matwab PhD students and one postdoc are now hired by Ericsson AB.
Approach and implementation
This project had the aim to support a PhD student within the area interference coordination in heterogeneous access networks with backhaul awareness. Such a PhD student has been recruited, the strong one-year Master thesis student. Meanwhile he got ready with his thesis, we have used the funds to cover the salary of the postdoc and some senior time. The PhD student is linked to the collaboration within CHASE-Matwab project phase 4 that just started and that is supported by VINNOVA, in which Ericsson AB and Qamcom AB are partners.
