* SCOPE:
The unrelenting user traffic demand triggered by data-centric standards such
as 3GPP's
LTE-Advanced place a premium on area spectral and energy efficiency over
already crowded
wireless spectrum. Conventional cellular network is not capable of
accommodating huge
amount of high traffic users. It furthermore suffers from the so-called
cell-edge problem
where users at the cell boarders are subject to low throughput due to
pathloss and diverse
propagation conditions to multiple cells yielding cochannel interference. To
address these
issues, coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission/reception and
heterogeneous networks (HetNET)
play a key role for future cellular networks. In the CoMP technique,
adjacent cells coordinate
to transmit towards cell-edge users to solve the cell-edge problem. In the
HetNET, low power
base stations of smaller coverage are deployed inside the conventional
macrocells for traffic
offloading. Regarding CoMP and HetNET, beside research activities in
academia, there are
considerable industry-wide standardization efforts in 3GPP RAN working
groups (as part of LTE-Advanced)
and IEEE (e.g. under IEEE 802.16m). While industry efforts have also
targeted efficient operation of
CoMP and HetNET, fundamental research on the cost-performance tradeoffs of
each of these
deployments are certainly desirable for both academia and industry. This one
full-day workshop
is co-located with the IEEE Personal Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications
Conference 2013
(http://www.ieee-pimrc.org/). The main objective of the workshop is to offer
an opportunity for
academic and industrial researchers for spreading and sharing the latest
results and understanding
for making communication networks more energy efficient than they are today.
* TOPIC AREAS:
Topics of interest are generally divided into the three following
categories i.e. heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNet),
cooperative cellular networks (CoMP) and cloud radio access
networks (C-RAN) as follows:
- Resource allocation techniques for HetNet
- Cell range expansion (CRE) and traffic off-loading
- Enhanced inter-cell interference coordination techniques (eICIC)
- Self-organizing networks (SON) and reinforcement learning
- Phantom cell, soft cell, and multi-flow carrier aggregation
- 3GPP, WiFi, and WiGig interworking
- Open and closed access operation modes
- Game theoretic techniques for future HetNet
- Coordinated multi-point transmission (CoMP) techniques
- Distributed antenna systems (DAS)
- Limited feedback techniques for CoMP
- Cell planning and antenna design for CoMP
- Dynamic clustering and convolutional networks for CoMP
- Large scale CoMP for HetNet and dense small cells networks
- Enhanced channel models for CoMP
- Backhaul (wired, wireless, millimeter wave, etc.) and networking
- Cellular topology considering Remote Radio Head (RRH)
- Cloud-based support for HetNet
- Splitting of user- and control-planes for HetNet
- Mobility management and handoffs for HetNet
- Energy efficient algorithms and green wireless for HetNet
- Network load balancing and smart information storage for C-RAN
- Cognitive, cooperative, and reconfigurable networks
- Analysis of future trends of HetNet
- Low electromagnetic exposure in cellular networks
- Regulation and standardization for cooperative HetNet
- Massive MIMO, active antenna systems, and dynamic cell structuring
