Baseband 2017 - International Workshop on Baseband Processing Algorithms and Implementations for Next Generation Communications

The coming 5G mobile communication is aiming for the connection of tens of billions of wireless
devices with some reaching several gigabit-per-second data rates and millisecond-level latency. To
achieve this aggressive target, baseband processing related to advanced coding/modulation, massive
MIMO, novel air-interface, and software define radio is of great significance.
However, the related research activities from the algorithm and Implementation perspectives are still
in its infancy. Apparently, only with carefully optimized algorithms and efficient hardware
implementations, can the aforementioned baseband processing completely fulfills the potential.
With a focus on balancing both algorithms and practical implementations, the goal of this workshop
is to demonstrate the latest research progresses on algorithms and designs for efficiently realizing
baseband processing of 5G wireless. The workshop will bring together academic and industrial
researchers to identify technical challenges and recent results related to this area. Original and
unpublished research results with topics in any of the following areas or beyond are hereby solicited.
