Erdős's productset conjecture for sets of positive Banach density

From papers

Given AZA\subseteq\mathbb{Z}, define its upper Banach density by

BD(A)=limnsupmZA[m+1,m+n]n.\operatorname{BD}(A)=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\sup_{m\in\mathbb{Z}}\frac{|A\cap [m+1,m+n]|}{n}.

Erdős's productset conjecture. If BD(A)>0\operatorname{BD}(A)>0, then there are infinite sets B,CZB,C\subseteq\mathbb{Z} such that

B+CA.B+C\subseteq A.

This conjecture strengthens a conjecture of Erdős about additive structure in sets of positive upper Banach density. The supplied text does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
