RESEARCH PROJECT OUTCOMES
Mohammed Abuibaid: From PhD student to full-time Ericsson employee
In late 2024, Mohammed Abuibaid began working at Ericsson Canada, and currently serves as a Radio Virtual Distributed Unit (vDU) System Designer. However, his connection to Ericsson began years ago, and dates back to his time as a PhD student at Carleton University. In 2019, Abuibaid had completed the course requirements for his PhD program, but leaned into his interest in 5G network design, and enrolled in the Ericsson-funded course in Carleton’s Department of Systems and Computer Engineering. Abuibaid completed the course in the Winter 2021 semester under the leadership of Prof. Jun Huang. The course was held twice a week, where the first class followed the course foundational material, and the second was dedicated to industry-relevant problems outlined in the weekly lectures.
New Patent Filing: Prof’s Gohary’s collaboration with Ericsson leads to innovative new solutions
In 2024, Prof. Ramy Gohary from the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University began an Ericsson funded project, entitled, “Using Intelligent Reflective Surfaces for Downlink Channel Covariance Shaping and Estimation.” The project was loosely connected to his “Channel Propagation Study” which took place under Carleton’s Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Ericsson. The project is ongoing, and among other accomplishments, resulted in a patent filing. Mona Mostafa, the student working on this project, was instrumental in the study’s success. Prof. Gohary provided some background information that led to the creation of the patent.
