Key facts

Literature research on FRMCS, 5G side-links, 5G/6G satellite networks, reliable and safe train localisation by radio, and multipath propagation in railway environments
Planning, implementation and test of a simulation framework for train localisation with FRMCS train-ground links
Research and development of advanced, reliable and safe algorithms for distance measurement and train localisation for FRMCS signals using realistic radio propagation models
Extension of the simulation framework via FRMCS to support 5G side-links and 5G/6G satellite network links
Extension of advanced, reliable and safe algorithms for distance measurement and train localisation for FRMCS-compliant 5G side-link and 5G/6G satellite network signals using realistic radio propagation models
Documentation of research results in a final report

Ongoing studies in electrical engineering or computer science
Very good knowledge in signal processing, estimation theory, and navigation and localisation technologies
Very good programming skills, including MATLAB and Python
Ability to work independently and solve complex problems autonomously
Excellent English skills in both spoken and written form

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equal opportunities for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees in their personal and professional environment. For this purpose, our numerous training and further education opportunities are available to you. Equal opportunities are a particular concern for us; we therefore want to increase the proportion of women in science and management. Applications from severely disabled persons are given preference in case of professional suitability.
