WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL CHAIRS

On behalf of the Executive Committee and the hosting Harbin Institute of Technology, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the fourth IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC 2015). Since its commencement in 2012, the ICCC conference has grown steadily from a brand new conference with a strong vision, to a unique venue in bringing together global researchers and practitioners in areas of communications to the greater China region. In particular, this year’s IEEE/CIC ICCC aims at addressing a key theme on “Intelligent Communications for a Connected Cyberspace”, which broadly cover all disciplines of communications from fundamental research to emerging applications, while emphasizing society-shaping technologies in the modern IT era. In addition to providing a major forum for people to present their frontier research work and discuss the latest breakthroughs, the ICCC 2015 also features Keynotes, Plenary Speeches, Invited Talks, Tutorials, Industrial & Academic Panels, Exhibitions, and dedicated Workshops. For those who attend the IEEE/CIC ICCC for the first time, you will soon appreciate the fact that IEEE/CIC ICCC is more than just an outstanding technical conference, it is also a friendly rendezvous to interact, inspire, and discover.

This year we are honored to have four world renowned experts from academia and industry, Prof. Khaled Ben Letaief of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Prof. Zhiquan (Tom) Luo of University of Minnesota, Twin Cties, Dr. Shanzhi Chen, Executive Vice President of Datang Telecom Technology & Industry Group, China, and Prof. Pingzhi Fan of Southwest Jiaotong University, China, to be our keynote speakers. In addition, we invited two distinguished scholars, Prof. Andreas F. Molisch of University of Southern California, and Prof. Moe Z. Win of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for presenting two Plenary Speeches. Not only have each of them made extraordinary contributions to the fields of communications, their diverse expertise and keen visions in both academia and industry are equally remarkable. We look forward to their stimulating and scholastic seminars in IEEE/CIC ICCC 2015.

We would like to acknowledge the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) and the China Institute of Communications (CIC) for their great partnership in sponsoring the ICCC 2015. We feel deeply grateful to all the people that have contributed to make this event possible: the authors who contributed papers, the conference steering committee, the invited speakers, and the diligent reviewers. Special thanks go to the Gongjin Electronics, HUAWEI, Fujitsu, National Instruments, Datang, and Nanjing University of Posts & Telecommunications for their generous support. Kudos to the technical committee members for a remarkable job they have done in planning and organizing the meetings. Thanks are also extended to the conference administrative committee, the volunteers, supporters, and Venice Hotel Shenzhen, for their tirelessly efforts throughout the course of the conference.

Finally, we wish all the participants a very fruitful and productive conference, and also an unforgettable stay in Shenzhen.
