We are approaching a wireless future, where everything around us becomes connected and increasingly intelligent. Access to wireless connectivity is becoming as essential to our lives as access to electricity and water. In this podcast, two renowned Swedish academics discuss current and future wireless technology, as well as its impact on society. Erik G. Larsson is an IEEE Fellow and Professor at Linköping University, Sweden. Emil Björnson is an IEEE Fellow and Professor at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. They have written several textbooks, received numerous scientific awards, published hundreds of papers, and hold tens of patents. They have a YouTube channel with 27k+ subscribers.

Coverage holes exist in cellular networks despite decades of wireless technology evolution, but new potential solutions are on the horizon. In this episode, Emil Björnson and Erik G. Larsson discuss network-controlled repeaters, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, and half-duplex relays. Network-controlled repeaters have attracted particular attention from 3GPP in recent years; the conversation focuses on how these can create strong propagation paths through signal amplification. Implementation challenges related to synchronization, band selectivity, and stability are also covered. A detailed overview is provided in “Achieving Distributed MIMO Performance with Repeater-Assisted Cellular Massive MIMO” (https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.00142). Technical details can be found in: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.01074 and https://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.17908 Music: On the Verge by Joseph McDade.
