Robert Schober

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Schober (* 1971 in Neuendettelsau ) is a German electrical engineer for telecommunications engineering with a focus on mobile .

Schober studied electrical engineering at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg , where he received his doctorate in 2000 with Johannes Huber with the dissertation Noncoherent Detection and Equalization for MDPSK and MDAPSK Signals summa cum laude . During his studies he was at University College London in 1996/97 and received a scholarship from the German National Academic Foundation . He was a post-doctoral student at the University of Toronto . In 2002 he became an assistant professor at the University of British Columbia , where he received a full professorship in 2008. In 2011 he received a Humboldt Professorship at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.

He deals with communication theory , wireless communication and statistical signal processing. In 2002 he received the Heinz Maier Leibnitz Prize for developments in the field of incoherent digital transmission and equalization methods for channels. In 2004 he received the Vodafone Innovation Prize together with Johannes Huber, Raimund Meyer and Wolfgang Gerstacker from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. They had developed software that greatly reduced interference in cellular networks and increased network capacity by up to 80 percent. The process ( English Single Antenna Interference Cancellation , SAIC ), the interference in areas of overlapping radio cells encountered, they were patented . In 2007 he was awarded the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Prize.

Schober is a Fellow of the IEEE and the Canadian Academy of Engineering .
