Workshop on Sustainable Future Ultra-Dense Networks, in the scope of Globecom 2022 – IEEE Global Communications Conference: Accelerating the Digital Transformation through Smart Communications, to be held on December 4-8, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

 

Fernando J. Velez (Instituto de Telecomunicações and Universidade da Beira Interior, Portugal), Ana Garcia Armada (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain), Pedro Sebastião (Instituto de Telecomunicações and ISCTE-IUL, Portugal), Maria Julia Fernández-Getino García (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain), Periklis Chatzimisios (International Hellenic University, Greece) and Christos Masouros (University College London, United Kingdom) are inviting to the Workshop on Sustainable Future Ultra-Dense Networks, in the scope of Globecom 2022 – IEEE Global Communications Conference: Accelerating the Digital Transformation through Smart Communications, to be held on December 4-8, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

 

The Workshop will focus on Sustainable Future Ultra-Dense Networks (FutureUDNs) including vehicular environments, smart cities, and buildings, and envisage the most important components in future networks: frequency spectrum usage and underlying Radio Access Network (RAN) techniques. FutureUDNs consider aspects such as applying intelligence-based algorithms for energy-efficient communication systems, radio resource management, optimization of cellular and cell-free networks, as well as software-defined networking. Challenges encompass research on dual connectivity, carrier aggregation, and shared spectrum while exploring unlicensed spectrum. Future wireless networks will mainly consider centralized solutions, where virtualized-RANs are implemented to enhance 5G New Radio sustainability. Beyond 5G networks are being designed for a broad range of usage: enterprises and future mission-critical applications, virtual/augmented reality, and enhanced wireless usage for many verticals.

Important dates:

  • Paper Submission Deadline: 15 July 2022
  • Paper Acceptance Notification: 1 September 2022
  • Camera-Ready: 1 October 2022

Doctoral Conference and course on public policies, innovation and design thinking, how to create business models, marketing aspects, finance for entrepreneurship and legal framework.

The doctoral conference is co-located with the CSNDSP2020.

It comprises of three technical sessions (TeamUp5G) and the forum on “New RAN Techniques for 5G Ultra-dense Networks”.

TeamUp5G sessions:

  • TeamUp5G.01: Monday 20th of July, Chairs: Fernando J. Velez, Albena Mihovska
  • TeamUp5G.02: Monday 20th of July, Chairs: Adão Silva, Víctor P. Gil Jiménez
  • TeamUp5G.03: Tuesday 21st of July, Chairs: Maria Julia Fernandez-Getino Garcia, Susana Sargento

New RAN Techniques for 5G Ultra-dense Networks (Tuesday 21st of July):

This Forum will include lively discussions on 5G terrestrial and  drone-based small cells, innovation and entrepreneurship. Distinguished speakers will present state-of-the-art research and initiatives (around the Globe) on spectrum management for 5G and beyond HetNets, entrepreneurship in the field of drone small-cells, as well as entrepreneurship Intrapreneurship and Interpreneurship in the Wireless Communications Sector. The Forum will work as a panel, and panelists will synchronously answer to the questions from the audience.

Panel members:

  • Jon Michael Peha (Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA)
  • Peter Lindgren (Aarhus University, Herning Campus, Denmark)
  • Luis Miguel Serra da Costa Campos (PDMFC, Lisbon Portugal)
  • Pedro Joaquim Amaro Sebastião (Instituto de Telecomunicações and ISCTE-IUL, Lisbon Portugal)
