* Development of V2V MIMO channel models under realistic propagation conditions
* Development of V2V MIMO communication systems using space-time coding schemes and (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) OFDM techniques
* Performance analysis of V2V MIMO communication systems under realistic propagation conditions.
Emphasis will be given to the applicant’s qualifications in the following fields:
* Strong background in mathematics and practical experience in linear algebra, matrix analysis, stochastic processes and signal theory
* Practical experience in programming
* Experience in use of mathematical and numerical tools such as MATLAB
* Basic knowledge of mobile radio communications.
Good teamwork skills and personal suitability for the position will be emphasised. The applicant will be expected to cooperate with researchers in neighbouring fields of research.
The successful applicant will have a Master’s degree in information and communication technology and must meet the entry requirements for the PhD Programme in Mobile Communication Systems at the University of Agder.
