Abstract:
The fifth-generation (5G) is coming. Quo vadis 5G? What architectures, network topologies and technologies will define 5G? Are methodologies to the analysis, design and optimization of current cellular networks still applicable to 5G? The proposed tutorial is intended to offer a comprehensive and in depth crash course to communication professionals and academics. It is aimed to critically illustrate and discuss essential and enabling transmission technologies, communication protocols and architectures that are expected to make 5G wireless communication networks a reality. More specifically, the present tutorial is focused on illustrating the critical and essential importance of channel and spatial models for an accurate system-level analysis and optimization of 5G networks, which are expected to use different frequency bands compared to state-of-the-art networks and to rely on a much denser deployment of access points and antenna-elements, to a scale that has never been observed in the past.

Almost all currentlydeployed radios for wireless communications are half-duplexwhich transmit and receive signals in two separate/orthogonalchannels. With the recent development of fullduplex (FD)communication, where a mobile node can send andreceive at both the same time and the same frequency band, another avenue has opened up forincreasing the capacity twice as high spectralefficiency as a half-duplex radio. Possible applicationsof FD radios include wireless base stations, wirelessrelays and personal-area wireless devices.The tutorial willprovides a systematic overview of the foundations and recent developments of this promising FD technology, in particular from physical-layer signal processing, radio resources utilization point of view, possible applications, and summarizes the current state of the art of the theory, key strategies and techniques. There are threeaspects for this tutorial. First, we provide literature for the current state of art for the FD hardware in Physical layer. Then, we illustrate how such FD paradigm will affect the design of other layers. Finally, we study how this will change the perspectives of different networks such as femtocell networks, cognitive radio networks, D2D networks.

Tutorial Title:
Economics of TV White Space Networks
Time: 16:00-17:30, Nov. 2, Monday
Room: Tivoli, 3F



Instructor(s):
Jianwei Huang and Lin Gao

Abstract:
Database-assisted TV white space network is a promising paradigm of dynamic spectrum sharing, and can effectively improve the spectrum utilization and alleviate the spectrum scarcity, via the centralized control of TV white space databases residing in the cloud. In this tutorial, we discuss the business modeling for database-assisted TV white space network, which is very important for the wide commercialization of this promising technology. Motivated by several recent business practices, we will discuss two types of different business models: spectrum market and information market. In the spectrum market model, spectrum licensees, through spectrum brokers acted by databases, lease the under-utilized (licensed) TV channels to unlicensed wireless devices for secondary utilization. In the information market model, databases sells the advanced information regarding (unlicensed) TV channels to unlicensed wireless devices in order to enhance the secondary spectrum utilization performance. We will discuss the trading mechanism for both market models, and evaluate the feasibility and performance of both models through theoretical and numerical studies.

Instructor(s): Lie-Liang Yang

Abstract: Driven by the explosive growth of the variety of wireless services, mobile communications have been in the rapid development for several decades through the introduction of various advanced techniques at different stages. Without any doubt, this trend will continue to the future, towards the mobile networks that are capable of providing ultra high capacity while at relatively low cost, and are supported by the techniques of high spectral- and energy-efficiency, high flexibility and intelligence. Currently, a lot of researches are going on worldwide for the 5G mobile systems, with the motivation to support, such as, 1000 times the current system capacity, 10 times the spectral efficiency, energy efficiency and data rate, and 25 times the average cell throughput.
 
This tutorial will first review the state-of-the-art in mobile communications, with the emphasis on the history, principles and regulations of some typical techniques as well as their limits. Following the routes of the development of mobile communications, we will then discuss a range of techniques that may be employed for driving mobile communications to the future. The principles, advantages and challenges of a range of advanced techniques will be addressed, which may include heterogeneous wireless networking, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and massive MIMO, resource allocation, cross-layer optimization, cooperative communications, cognitive radios, multicell cooperation/processing and Coordinated MultiPoint (CoMP), ultra-dense deployment and user-centered distributed antenna concepts, MilliMeter-Wave (MMW) communications, mobile social networks, etc.  The tutorial will be concluded by the discussion of some open research issues towards the future generations of mobile communication systems.
