Work package lead within the FP7 project PHYDYAS (wireless communications, physical layer, post-OFDM, FBMC, filterbanks, estimation/synchronization/equalization, mulit-antenna, compatibility, smooth migration, legacy support).Work package lead within the FP7 project ACCORDANCE(wireless-wireline convergence, mobile backhauling, PON, RoF, CPRI, centralization, cloud-RAN, multi-site schemes, LTE, WiMAX)since 2012: 5GNOW and METIS - FP7 research projects on post-LTE wireless cellular communication networks (personal emphasis on lower layer processing - PHY and MAC)since 2013: Manager for a new project proposal on the design of the air interface being capable of handling the anticipated multitude of service and device classes in future wireless communications (5G) in the framework of Horizon 2020 (call 2).Starting mid of 2015:We did it! FANTASTIC-5G got approved. Mid of 2015 we will start designing a new air interface being able to support the anticipated (and even the not yet anticipated) heterogeneity of wireless cellular communications in 2020 and beyond with highest efficiency. We build upon a strong consortium both from academia and industry.
