Abstract:

Visionary application scenarios, such as the Internet of Things, Gigabit Wireless Connectivity, Tactile Internet, and many more, expected to play a dominant role for 5G cellular communication systems reveal major shortcomings of the design paradigms of LTE/LTE-A, i.e. synchronism and orthogonality: 1) Collaborative schemes have been introduced to boost capacity and coverage, and wireless networks are becoming more and more heterogeneous following the non-uniform distribution of users. However, tremendous efforts must be spent to collect the gains and to manage such systems under the premise of strict synchronism and orthogonality as in LTE/LTE-A; 2) The advent of the Digital Agenda and the introduction of carrier aggregation are forcing the transmission systems to deal with fragmented spectrum. Current systems impose generous guard bands to satisfy spectral mask requirements which either severely deteriorate spectral efficiency or even prevent band usage at all, which is again an artefact of strict orthogonality and synchronism constraints within the PHY layer; 3) Finally, the fraction of machine-type-communications (MTC) is growing fast. In fact, the massive wireless connectivity of machines with other machines, referred to as M2M or the IoT, is the next foreseen killer application. Such sporadic traffic generating devices should not be forced into the bulky synchronization procedure of LTE-A PHY layer random access.

In this workshop we present the state-of-the-art in the development of New Air Interfaces for 5G which efficiently support such application visions. The workshop program will discuss several new waveforms for 5G (including a scientific-oriented waveform tutorial) from an industry-driven perspective and thereby discuss design principles, implementation details, performance results, and first demonstrations of selected results. Moreover all key players in this field will present their distinctive technical viewpoint on new air interfaces and possible candidate selection. In the course of this workshop the participants will have the chance to discuss and connect with influential industry people working in this field. Altogether, it is an excellent opportunity to collect the latest views and developments regarding an exciting open field on the road towards 5G.

Abstract:

The Internet of Things and Services (IoTS) will be one of the next big things. By enabling all kinds of smart objects, such as intelligent sensors and actuators, to communicate and interact with each other across different networks and domains, a plethora of new services & applications may be created, thus bearing the potential to create substantial new markets and to revolutionize existing ones. Future Smart Factories, for example, will exhibit an unprecedented degree of flexibility and versatility, Smart Homes will improve the comfort, convenience and energy-efficiency at your home and Intelligent Transportation Systems will increase traffic safety and eventually enable autonomous driving. Current forecasts predict that there will be more than 50 billion devices connected to the Internet by 2020 and this is just the beginning.

However, it is also quite clear that on the way to a fully connected cyber-physical world still numerous research challenges have to be addressed. This includes aspects like the development of new energy- and resource-efficient connectivity solutions, comprehensive support of self-management and plug-and-play mechanisms, novel (usable) security approaches, seamless interoperability across heterogeneous networks and different domains, novel semantic technologies and middlewares, and many more. Also, in order to exploit the full potential of the IoTS, a close collaboration is required between academia, the traditional telecom industry, but also industries representing the different application domains, which probably will be among the main beneficiaries of the IoTS in future.

The goal of this workshop is to bring all these players together and to foster a better common understanding, to exchange visions and latest research results, to discuss promising new technologies and to highlight open research challenges. To this end, several renowned experts from industry have been invited, who will cover the topic in keynote speeches and invited talks from different perspectives in order to provide a rather comprehensive overview of all issues that have to be considered in this respect. Besides, the workshop will include a panel discussion on open research challenges and the way forward to finally make the IoTS become reality. Furthermore, it will feature a demo session, during which latest (practical) research results will be showcased and demonstrated.

You should not miss this exciting event if you want to:

Learn more about the unprecedented opportunities and applications enabled by the IoTS Get in touch with leading experts and industry representatives and expand your professional network Understand the major research challenges and ongoing developments in this quickly growing area Get a better overview of relevant standardization bodies and initiatives See how your own research activities may contribute to the future success of the IoTS

Title: In-Building Wireless Access: Infrastructure Solutions for Emerging Applications

Organizers: Dr. Michael Sauer

Abstract:

The Workshop will discuss challenges, industry dynamic, and solutions for in-building wireless access infrastructure due to the combination of multiple technologies on common systems. The trend of combining distributed antenna system approaches, remote radio signal feeding, Small Cells, etc. for increased capacity, performance and dynamic traffic management leads to new ways for approaching infrastructure design. Migration to standards like LTE and LTE-Advanced requires the support of new features and capabilities. SON & HetNet is leading to new ways of in-building wireless access system design. Further, the increasing role and importance of new generations of WiFi technologies such as 802.11ac and 802.11ad/WiGig lead to a new set of considerations for how in-building wireless access is addressed. Emerging applications for healthcare, public safety, telemetry and technologies for services like in-building location positioning are supported by these multi-technology networks and will be discussed in the workshop. Experts from the industry will discuss solutions to these new challenges and the workshop will facilitate an exchange between industry and academia on technologies for in-building wireless access.

Title: Advanced RF Communications Technology for Public Safety/Homeland Security

Organizer: Fred Frantz

Abstract: The landscape for public safety communications is changing rapidly. Traditional land mobile radio used by public safety agencies is rapidly being supplemented by wireless broadband communication. The National Public Safety Broadband Network (also known as FirstNet) will provide public safety users with LTE capability for data access. Advanced technologies such as cognitive radio, channel bonding across disparate networks, and steerable multiband antennas have the potential to provide public safety with significant communications capabilities that can meet their unique requirements for ubiquitous, robust, high capacity communications capabilities. In addition, capabilities such as mission critical voice over an LTE network, management of spectrum resources to meet mission requirements, and balancing local control of network operations without compromising interoperability among local agencies are all key to successful deployment and utilization of FirstNet.

The objective of this panel/workshop is to identify from a public safety user’s perspective the technology needs for communications, to discuss the federal government role in sponsoring research, development, test and evaluation of evolving technology to meet those needs, and to identify promising technologies that could have near- and long-term impact on both future land mobile radio systems as well as wireless broadband networks of the future.

Title: Industry Harmonization for Unified Standards on SDN, NFV, Autonomic

Management & Control (AMC), 5G, Unified Management of Fixed/Mobile Networks,

and IPv6.

Organizer: Ranganai Chaparadza, PhD

Abstract:

Various Standardization Groups (SDOs)/Fora which are working on standards for SDN(Software- Defined/Driven-Networks), NFV(Network-Functions-Virtualization), AMC (Autonomic Management & Control of Networks and Services), NGMN NGCOR requirements on Converged Management of Fixed/Mobile

Networks, 5G related topics and operator-requirements, and IPv6 as a horizontal topic that brings complementary value to all these areas, were invited to take part in the workshop: “Autonomic Management & Control (AMC) of Networks and Services, SDN, and NFV, as complementary emerging paradigms—From silo approach to cross-SDO combined approach: Follow-up Workshop to Globecom 2013 Industry Forum Sessions (Date: 5th June 2014, hosted by TeleManagement TMForum Meeting)”—Report available: http://www.tmforumlive.org/ieee/. The Groups that were invited to the workshop include: TMF, IPv6 Forum; ETSI NTECH/AFI; ETSI NFV; BBF; NGMN; OMG SDN WG; IEEE NGSON WG; ITU-T SG13 and SG2; 3GPP SA5; Multi-SDO; ONF; OMA; OpenDaylight; IEEE SDN and NFV Sub-Committee; OIF; other-groups. This Globecom 2014 workshop aims to communicate the outcome of the June 5th 2014 workshop to the GC2014 audience, pertaining to the SDOs/Fora harmonization efforts on standards for the emerging complementary networking paradigms. The workshop covers the subject of how SDOs/Fora are now performing certain types of harmonization activities that could make use of Cross-SDO Instruments for Harmonization and Coordination which may enable experts from various groups to work together on harmonization of taxonomy on architectural frameworks, protocols, models, etc, corresponding to all the key emerging paradigms. The work on unifying architectural frameworks for SDN, NFV and AMC is now being progressed by various collaborating Standardization Groups/Fora, and contributors (technical-experts) interested in such ongoing and future standardization activities can learn through this workshop how to contribute to the activities. Overall, the international community can also learn and discuss through this workshop the kinds of harmonization efforts SDOs/Fora should pursue to close standardization gaps revealed by attempts to combine the emerging complementary technologies of SDN, NFV and AMC. OPEX reduction, innovation of services and faster service delivery by enterprises and telecom operators require introducing in the network and OSS/BSS and EMS’s, Autonomic Management & Control (AMC) of Networks and Services, i.e. closed control-loops capabilities (e.g. real-time analytics and self-adaption), but also flexibility & programmability via SDN, NFV and Cloud-models. Telecommunications Operators are currently assessing these three technologies through a “silo” approach while it is now known that some capabilities inherent to SDN, NFV, AMC, can complement each other across the three paradigms. The three technologies must now be considered through a “combined” approach, from standardization perspective, in order to holistically guide the industry. This workshop will present to the wider audience a joint White-Paper by the collaborating SDOs/Fora: Industry Harmonization for Unified Standards on Autonomic Management & Control (AMC) of Networks and Services, SDN and NFV, as three complementary emerging paradigms, and on Converged Management of Fixed/Mobile Networks: From silo approach to cross-SDO combined approach. NGMN (an alliance of telecom operators) is now working on requirements for 5G. This workshop will also demystify the complementarities of SDN, NFV, Autonomic Management & Control (AMC), and IPv6, as Enablers for 5G.
