Main Duties:
The main duties will be:
Contribute to the creation and evaluation of NEC’s RRM, Network Optimisation technology by:
- Providing initiative in proposing new relevant areas of investigation that would add-value to the current and future products
- Contributing to the algorithm design and performance evaluation of new RRM & Network Optimisation features
- Designing and implementing simulations in C++, MATLAB and Python
- Running simulations and analysing results
- i.e. extract useful information from raw data, spot anomalies and construct testable hypotheses to explain them.
- Producing technical reports on RRM & Network Optimisation algorithms and system performance relating to future 3GPP features and any related architecture changes
- Providing input to RRM & Network Optimisation feature systems analysis and design
The successful candidate must have:
- Knowledge and practice of problem solving with AI/ML principles and key techniques (e.g. deep learning, reinforcement learning, etc.) and using AI/ML tools (e.g. TensorFlow, Keras)
- Knowledge of mobile communications systems
- C++, Matlab and Python programming skills.
- Analytical and mathematical skills (e.g. matrix algebra, simple calculus), and in particular probability and statistics
- Experience in RRM and/or network optimisation (SON) algorithm design (e.g. handover, admission control, power control, Load Balancing, Handover Optimisation, etc.)
- Ability to undertake system level simulation of a mobile radio network e.g.:
- knowledge of methods to model radio propagation, packet data traffic patterns, layer 1 and layer 2 network behaviour) and
- ability to judge an appropriate level of detail to which the system needs to be modelled to answer the question at hand.
- Familiarity with virtualisation techniques for real-time systems
- Practical experience of virtualisation tools (e.g. Docker/Kubernetes)
- Link level simulation experience
- Familiarity with Call Processing and Real Time concepts
