  50. The New Wave of Satellite Communications

  Jun 13, 20261h 5mS0

  <p >In episode fifty, Erik G. Larsson and Emil Björnson leave Earth to take a closer look at the new advancements in satellite communications. Constellations with thousands of low-Earth-orbit satellites are now orbiting the sky to deliver fast Internet connectivity to infrastructure, homes, and maybe even directly to 6G mobile phones. How can we reach such distant satellites, and how do the satellite constellations connect back to Earth? What are the intended use cases? How can the massive Doppler effect be overcome? What is the role of multi-antenna technology? All the answers are provided in this massive episode. To l...

  49. Insights from the NYU Wireless Workshop

  May 13, 202657 minS0

  <p >The NYU Wireless Workshop this year was a lively scientific event, where the future of wireless technology was debated. Erik G. Larsson was among the invited speakers, and the main theme was “Twenty Years of Massive MIMO: What’s Next?”. In this episode, he discusses the main insights with Emil Björnson. They first dissect the practical challenges that still hinder multi-antenna technology from reaching its full potential. It ranges from unfavorable traffic patterns to channel characteristics and channel state information, and how to circumvent these issues. The conversation also covers wireless sensing, AI data aggregation over the air, near-fi...

  48. Non-Uniform Antenna Arrays and Movable Antennas

  Mar 28, 20261h 3mS0

  <p>Antenna arrays are used everywhere to enhance the wireless signal quality through beamforming and aperture gains. A common practice is to arrange antennas uniformly along a line or in a rectangle, but this is not necessarily the preferred arrangement. In this episode, Emil Björnson and Erik G. Larsson discuss how the geometry of an antenna array affects the shape of the beams it can transmit and the ability to spatially multiplex many users. They uncover how uniform arrays excel at packing many antennas into a compact space, while adjacent antennas collect redundant information about the world around us. I...

  47. Everyone Talks About Integrated Sensing and Communications

  Feb 23, 20261h 4mS0

  <p >Almost every 6G-related keynote speech at scientific conferences focuses on ISAC: Integrated sensing and communications. In this episode, Erik G. Larsson and Emil Björnson discuss how sensing and communication technologies have been developed separately in the past but are built on similar yet distinctly different principles. The conversation covers different integration levels, beamforming implementations, fundamental tradeoffs, alternative waveforms, and the most important question: What would ISAC be used for if it becomes widely available in 6G networks?

  46. Are Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces Ready for the World?

  Jan 18, 20261h 2mS0

  <p >One of the first topics covered in this podcast was reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS). Five years later, Erik G. Larsson and Emil Björnson return to this topic to reflect on what has happened since then. The conversation covers how these surfaces can improve wave propagation between transmitters and receivers, and identifies the most convincing practical use cases. Core challenges overcome in recent years are discussed, and Emil describes the RIS used in his lab and the lessons learned from his measurements. They also go through new forms of RIS, known as Beyond-Diagonal RIS, STAR-RIS, and Stacked Intelligent Metasurfaces. T...
