Scope:
---
Wireless communications networks and associated devices are currently under intensive research as cellular networks are moving from 3G/4G towards the 5G era. Significant technological advances are required to meet the demand for increased data rates, substantially reduced latencies, support for a massive number of simultaneous devices, increased energy efficiency, and QoS guarantees.
Some of the most promising approaches for meeting the new requirements include the adoption of cmWave and mmWave frequencies, cognitive radio and other intelligent and flexible methods for RF spectrum use, device centric network architecture, massive MIMO, cooperative network wide multipoint processing, core network virtualization and reconsideration of the data, control and management planes.
Meeting the 5G demands is tied to the computational platforms of base stations and devices on which the cellular network is built. Recent advances in computing solutions, such as heterogeneous, data parallel and reconfigurable platforms, together with technological advances in analog, mixed-signal and digital circuits provide the means for developing efficient, yet flexible computation platforms. At the same time, the constantly increasing complexity of wireless communications solutions and underlying processing platforms mandatorily requires advances in design methodologies, high-level programming languages and tools. Hence, development and innovation of concrete 5G solutions requires experts from both wireless communications, and design and implementation communities.
