Alberto Rico Alvariño

Standards Engineer @高通

Research and development focused on new 3GPP features- Non-terrestrial networks (NTN), both NR and IOT- 5G broadcast / multicast- SRS carrier switching- LTE in unlicensed bands (LAA/MuLTEfire)- Enhanced Machine Type communications (eMTC)- Narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT)- Further eMBMS enhancements (feMBMS)- Optimizations for aerial vehicles, including PC5 sidelink- High capacity wireless and 1024QAM- Handling of small / maintenance topicsFor the topics above, I coordinated the design and standardization across different working groups by leading a research / standards team. I also have some experience in demo / hands-on modem implementation and feature bring-up (fixed point design, troubleshooting of features in lab, log analysis, etc.).Experience in outreach / coordination with players of different verticals (IoT, NTN, broadcast) and traditional cellular (MNOs, infra).Coordination with internal product teams, and across layers (RAN, SA and CT working groups).3GPP RAN1 delegate representing Qualcomm since Rel-133GPP RAN delegate (sporadic attendance)RAN1 LTE lead since Rel-15Co-rapporteur of the following work items- Rel-14 and Rel-15 NB-IoT- Rel-15 eMTC- Rel-15 high capacity wireless and 1024QAM- Rel-17/18 new bands and bandwidth allocation for 5G broadcastRapporteur of Rel-16 Study on LTE-based 5G terrestrial broadcastEditor of- TR 36.783 \"Introduction of 1024QAM in LTE downlink\"- TR 36.776 \"Study on 5G requirements for eMBMS\"- TR 36.976 \"Overall description of LTE-based 5G broadcast\"RAN1 feature lead for several topics, including NB-IoT, IMT-2020 satellite, 5G Broadcast (several releases) and IOT NTN TDD.I am a co-inventor of more than US patents (more than 600 granted)
