5G testbeds, measurements, opportunities, challenges, and standardisation

Organiser

Tian Hong Loh, National Physical Laboratory, UK

 

Context

The next generation (5G) network won’t just deliver much faster connection and higher data capacity. It also promises to provide reliable connectivity, low energy consumption, and connecting billions of people and trillions of things. The definition of the 5G is in progress and anticipates the need to extend the operating frequencies to support a significantly increased user density to meet its promises. This workshop will bring together technical experts and researchers to discuss, share experiences, and advance the state-of-the-art in all aspects of 5G systems prototyping, evaluation, testing, use cases, challenges and standardisation.

 

Programme

The Workshop is planned to be a half day event (i.e. 3 hours 40 mins) containing 7 slots for 25-min invited talks (each 25-min slot includes Q&A). The talks will cover the following topics:

1.     Opening presentation by organizers (5 mins)
2.     Four (4) invited presentations (1 hour 40 mins)
3.     Break (15 mins)
4.     Three (3) invited presentations (1 hour 15 mins)
5.     Panel discussion with invited speakers as panellists, moderated by organizers (25 mins)
