Friday, 12 June 2015 • 09:00 – 18:00

WS-13: Advanced PHY and MAC Techniques for Super Dense Wireless Networks

Organizer: Yi Ma (University of Surrey, UK)

IWSDN is one of the ICC2015 workshops jointly organized by EU FP7 RESCUE project partners, EU FP7 DIWINE project partners, and the UK 5G Innovation Centre (5GIC). This workshop aims to gather researchers, regulators, and users to present and debate advanced PHY and MAC techniques for super dense wireless networks and applications, with the perspective of current cellular, M2M, and V2V standardisation activities in 3GPP, ETSI, IEEE and IETF. IWSDN will be a full-day workshop, which includes two keynotes, technical sessions, posters, as well as workshop panel with a good mixture of participants from the academy and industry. The technical sessions will be mainly focused on the timely topics of physical layer network coding, massive and network MIMO, as well as asynchronous and non-orthogonal multiple access techniques.

Keynote-1: Scaling ad-hoc networks - how advanced PHY&MAC can help

Many future applications of wireless communications imply some form of ad-hoc relaying, either by terminals (in the D2D case) or by vehicles (in the V2V case). Such relaying mechanisms when deployed in the field will hit scalability problems akin to those of ad-hoc networks. In this talk we propose to revisit the issue of ad-hoc network scalability, in particular the issues pertaining to topology maintenance and routing, and explore how new PHY&MAC developments can help.

Keynote-2: C-RAN in Dense Heterogeneous Networks: A Network Information-Theoretic Viewpoint

Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) refers to a novel cellular architecture in which low-cost wireless access points, known as radio units (RUs), are centrally managed by a reconfigurable centralized "cloud", or central, unit (CU). C-RAN allows operators to reduce the capital and operating expenses needed to deploy and maintain dense heterogeneous networks, as well as to reap statistical multiplexing and spectral efficiency gains. The key bottleneck to the performance of C-RAN is the limited capacity offered by the network of fronthaul links that connect RUs and CU. Starting with a brief review of existing solutions, this talk overviews advanced techniques inspired by network information-theoretic principles that leverage the density of the network deployment for both uplink and downlink.
