The wireless cellular
network has been one of the most successful communications technologies of
the last three decades. The first wave of the fourth generation (4G)
networks, namely the Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks based on the 3GPP
release 8 standard, is being deployed around the
world today. The standardization process for the 4G LTE-Advanced (3GPP
release 10) was in 2011; the first deployments are expected to start as early
as next year. As the 4G technologies are being tested and deployed
in many countries, efforts to define Beyond 4G (B4G) have been under way in
3GPP since 2011, and will continue into the next few years as part of the
ongoing Release 11 and the upcoming Release 12. In the meanwhile,
the European Union 8th framework programme
(EU FP8) will start in Jan 2014 and will span the 6-year period 2014–2020;
the FP8 projects will likely boost the B4G research activities. There
is an emerging consensus in the 3GPP community that we have exhausted most of
the low-hanging-fruit ideas at our disposal, and need some fresh and
disruptive ideas to maintain the innovation momentum, which in turn allows
for the mobile wireless industry to continue to create
value. This workshop will be a venue to brainstorm on and to identify the
emerging concepts, technologies, and analytical tools for B4G cellular
networks. Towards that end, this workshop aims to bring together leading
researchers in both academia and industry, and to provide a forum for
researchers from diverse backgrounds to share their views on what B4G should
be and to have an open dialogue on the future of wireless research and its
impact on LTE-A standard. The goal is to share the latest status of the LTE-A
standards, and to identify key B4G technology drivers that can deliver
significant capacity, coverage and user-experience benefits. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to the following: ·
Novel radio access network (RAN) architectures o
HetNets with overlay of
high- and low-power nodes o
CoMP (coordinated
multi-point) transmission and reception o
Distributed antenna systems o
Advanced relaying, user terminal relaying o
Small cell deployment, femtocells,
picocells o
Terminal intelligence ·
Advanced radio resource management (RRM) techniques o
Interference management, interference awareness o
Inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC, eICIC) o
Artificial intelligence in wireless communications o
Congestion management ·
Emerging technologies in physical layer o
Interference-robust air interface o
Higher-order massive MIMO o
Active antenna systems (AAS) o
Multiuser communications o
Network information theory o
Novel modulation and coding schemes o
Beyond OFDM(A) ·
Novel services o
Enhanced voice and video o
Machine-to-machine (M2M), machine-type
communications (MTC) o
Point-to-point (P2P) / device-to-device (D2D)
communications o
Telepresence ·
Energy efficiency ·
Spectrum o
Aggregation of intra and inter-band carriers for
both FDD and TDD o
Cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access o
Adaptive radio access techniques ·
Prototype and test-bed for emerging B4G technologies Papers
should be submitted using EDAS (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=12481). The
authors should follow the IEEE guidelines that apply to all GLOBECOM submissions when preparing their contributions
(maximum paper length: 5 pages with 10-pt font). |
