Since the capacity increase through advanced physical layer techniques is limited, one promising technique to increase capacity is to shrink cell sizes, also using mmWave technologies (e.g. in 60 GHz range).

As of Autumn 2020, there was a new model in place for UPE’s courses for university teachers. We now offer more courses but each course is less comprehensive. It will also be up to the individual teacher and his/her supervisor to choose the courses that are most relevant in their particular case.
UPE’s mission is to provide excellent, relevant training and thus support teachers in doing their job.
RANGE OF COURSES
Below you can find short information about our courses.
A large proportion of our research is funded by taxes. More and more research financers therefore demand to make results publicy accessible.
Several funding agencies require from researchers who receive funding that they publish open access.
