the Dr.-Ing. degree in 2007 (with distinction), both in
Electrical Engineering from Leibniz University of Hannover.
His principal research interests included antenna systems and
electronics for MIMO wireless communications, signal
processing in multiple antenna configurations and ultrawideband
communications. Dr. Klemp joined Delphi Delco
Electronics Europe GmbH in 2006 as a research engineer for
antennas and receivers in the area of digital satellite radio
systems. From 2007 through 2010 he worked as a product
line architect and project manager in advanced engineering
and series development with focus on antennas and
transceivers for Vehicle-to-X communications and
automotive infotainment systems. In 2010, Oliver Klemp
joined BMW Group Research and Technology as a research
specialist and project manager in the area of vehicle-centric
communications with focus on Intelligent Transportation
Systems (ITS).
From 2007 through 2011 Dr. Klemp also held a position
as an external lecturer for electromagnetic wave propagation
and RF circuits and systems at the Institute of High
Frequency Technology and Radio Systems at Leibniz
University of Hannover.
Dr. Klemp was awarded with a Gerotron Innovation
Award in 2005 and is the recipient of the Scientific Award of
the City of Hannover in 2008. He has authored or coauthored
more than 50 papers in international journals and
conferences and is co-author of the COST 2100 book
“Pervasive Mobile and Ambient Wireless Communications”.
Oliver Klemp is a member of the IEEE, the German
Electrotechnical Association (VDE), COST IC 1004 and the

Christoph Mecklenbräuker was born in Darmstadt,
Germany, in 1967. He received the Dipl-Ing. degree in
Electrical Engineering from Vienna University of
Technology in 1992 and the Dr.-Ing. degree from Ruhr-
University of Bochum in 1998, respectively. His doctoral
thesis was awarded with the Gert Massenberg Prize.
From 1997-2000, he worked for the Mobile Networks
Radio department of Siemens AG Austria where he
participated in the European framework of ACTS 90
FRAMES. He was a delegate to the Third Generation
Partnership Project (3GPP) and engaged in the
standardisation of the radio access network for UMTS.
Since June 2000, he was a senior researcher at the
Telecommunications Research Center Vienna (ftw.) in the
field of mobile communications, key researcher since
November 2002, and proxy since July 2003. Between 2006
and 2009, he coordinated the Sixth Framework project
“Multiple-Access Space-Time Coding Testbed” (MASCOT)
on behalf of ftw. He leads the Special Interest Group on
mobile-to-mobile communications within COST Action
2100 Pervasive Mobile and Ambient Wireless
Communications.
In 2006, he joined the Institute of Communications and
Radio Frequency Engineering at Vienna University of
Technology as a full professor. Since July 2009, he leads the
newly founded Christian Doppler Laboratory for Wireless
Technologies for Sustainable Mobility. His current research
interests include radio interfaces for future peer-to-peer
networks (car-to-car communications, personal area
networks, and wireless sensor networks), ultra-wideband
radio (UWB) and MIMO-OFDM based transceivers (UMTS
long term evolution, WiMax, and 4G).
Christoph Mecklenbräuker is a member of the IEEE, the
Antennas and Propagation Society, the Vehicular
Technology society, the Signal Processing society, and
EURASIP. He is the councilor of the IEEE Student Branch
Wien. He is associate editor of the EURASIP Journal of
Applied Signal Processing.
Falko Dressler is a Full Professor for Computer Science
and head of the Computer and Communication Systems
Group at the Institute of Computer Science, University of
Innsbruck. He is an Editor for journals such as Elsevier Ad
Hoc Networks, ACM/Springer Wireless Networks
(WINET), and Elsevier Nano Communication Networks. He
was Guest Editor of special issues on self-organization,
autonomic networking, and bio-inspired communication for
IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC),
Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks, and others. Dr. Dressler is an
IEEE Distinguished Lecturer in the fields of inter-vehicular
communication, self-organization, and bio-inspired and
nano-networking. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE as
well as a Senior Member of ACM. He is actively
participating in the IETF standardization. His research
activities are focused on adaptive wireless networking and
self-organization methods with applications in wireless ad
hoc and sensor networks, inter-vehicular communication,
bio-inspired and nano-networking, and network security.
