About the Author
Henrik Asplund received his M.Sc. degree from Uppsala University, Sweden, in 1996 and joined Ericsson Research, Stockholm, Sweden, in the same year. Since then he has been working in the field of antennas and propagation supporting pre-development and standardization of all major wireless technologies from 2G to 5G. His current research interests include antenna techniques, radio channel measurements and modelling, and deployment options for 5G including higher frequencies.
David Astely is currently a Principal Researcher with Ericsson Research in the radio area. He received his Ph.D. in signal processing from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in 1999 and has been with Ericsson since 2001, where he has held various positions in both research and product development.
Peter von Butovitsch joined Ericsson in 1994 and currently serves as Technology Manager at Systems & Technology. He has held various positions at Ericsson Research and in RAN system design over the years, and from 1999 to 2014 he worked for Ericsson in Japan and China. He holds both an M.Sc. in engineering physics and a Ph.D. in signal processing from KTH, Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2016, he earned an MBA from Leicester University in the UK. Peter von Butovitsch has served as the driver and main editor throughout the development of this book.
Thomas Chapman is currently working within the radio access and standardization team within the Standards and Technology group at Ericsson. He has been contributing into 3GPP standardisation since 2000 to the whole portfolio of 3GPP technologies including UTRA TDD, WCDMA, HSPA, LTE and NR, and has been deeply involved in concept evaluation and standardization of AAS in RAN4. He holds an MSc (1996) and PhD (2000) in electronic engineering and signal processing from the University of Manchester, UK.
Mattias Frenne is currently a Principal Researcher in Multi-antenna Standardization in Ericsson. He holds an M.Sc. (1996) and a Ph.D. (2002) in engineering physics and signal processing respectively, both from Uppsala University, Sweden. Mattias has contributed to the physical layer concept development for both LTE and NR and is acting as a 3GPP standardization delegate in 3GPP RAN WG1 since 2005, mainly covering topics in t
