5GUA 2017 - Workshop on 5G Universal Access

The current generation of mobile networks continues to transform the way
people communicate and access information. To meet the gigantic capacity
challenge for wireless networks, a new generation of mobile networks,
namely 5G is in its formative phase. 5G provides a clean slate to
researchers and network designers to provide universal internet access, the
problem that has not been addressed in the previous generation of mobile
networks. Although, the exact form of 5G will emerge after 2020, yet it has
expected to provide extremely high data rates, massive connectivity, high
speed, latency less than 1 millisecond and much more. However, there is
some universal coverage gap in the 5G effort that has to be addressed. In
order to overcome these hurdles, new concept and theories are required. The
goal of this workshop is to provide a comprehensive view about 5G and to
bring collaborators, researchers and scholars from all over the world to
present their research proposed for 5G in global network provisioning. The
participants will get in touch with a lot of academic researchers and will
have the opportunity to discuss their viewpoint, results and findings. The
topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
D2D caching
Ultra-densification
Small cell and heterogeneous networks
Flexible numerology to support diverse applications for 5G
Green and soft networking
Waveform design for 5G
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) schemes
IOT support by designing and implementation of wireless caching
mmWave communications and massive MIMO
Energy harvesting and wireless power transfer
Traffic routing and data catering for onward terrestrial transmissions
Applications, deployments, test-beds and experimental experience for 5G universal access
Satellite and dynamic networks
Machine-to-machine communications
User centric 5G design and game theoretic approaches
Backhaul and fronthaul transmissions for 5G
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and drones for backhaul communications
Software defined networking in 5G including control-data plane separation architectures
UAVs for backhaul and access network including split frameworks
UAVs for device centric communication
Optimization of energy efficiency and spectral efficiency for user-centric networks
Mobility management for 5G
