TeamUp5G: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Training and Research on New RAN Techniques for 5G Ultra-Dense Mobile Networks

This paper presents a summary of the main research directions being followed in TeamUp5G European Training Network. This project is teaming up a new generation of researchers and entrepreneurs ready to address complex engineering problems and innovation to work both at university and industry in the 5G field. Research is focused on radio access network (RAN) techniques for 5G, considering ultra-dense mobile networks as a key ingredient of the mobile networks and their evolution. It covers a wide spread of topics from physical layer and medium access control to applications, looking at spectrum sharing and energy efficiency as important features.
