On Cloud Radio Access Networks:
Information Theoretic Considerations
Abstract: Cloud radio access networks (C-RANs) emerge as
appealing architectures for next-generation wireless/cellular
systems whereby the processing/decoding is migrated from
the local base-stations/radio units (RU) to a control/central
units (CU) in the "cloud".
This is facilitated by fronthaul links connecting the RUs to the
managing CUs. We focus on oblivious RUs, and hence the
fronthaul links carry digital information about the baseband
signals, in the uplink from the RUs to the CU and vice versa in
the downlink. The high data rate service demands in C-RANs,
imply that even with fast (optical) fronthauls, efficient
compression of the basedand signals is of critical importance.
In this talk we review the basic approaches to this setting, with
focus on advanced signal processing solutions, emerging by
network information theoretic concepts. Analysis and numerical
results illustrate the considerable performance gains to be
expected for standard simple cellular models.

Caching at the Edge: Efficient on-Demand
Video Streaming over Wireless
Abstract: Video is responsible for 66% of the 100x increase of
wireless data traffic predicted in the next few years. This talk
gives a survey of a novel transmission paradigm based on the
following two key properties: (i) video shows a high degree of
asynchronous content reuse, and (ii) storage is the fastest-
increasing quantity in modern hardware. Based on these
properties, we suggest caching in helper stations (femto-
caching) and/or directly into the user devices, combined with
highly spectrally efficient short-range communications to
deliver video files. We present results based on uncoded device-
to-device and network coded multicast delivery that show a
``Moore's law'' for throughput: namely, in a certain regime of
sufficiently high content reuse, the per-user throughput
increases linearly with the cache size, and it is independent of
the number of users, despite the fact that these users make
independent and individual video files requests, i.e., the system
does not exploit the naive broadcasting property of the wireless
medium to send the same source to everybody. We also discuss
dynamic adaptive schemes for smooth streaming in such
networks, that can be regarded as a multiuser multiple server
version of DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP), and
can be derived systematically from a general Network Utility
Maximization problem, where the network utility is a function of
the user video qualities, capturing a desired notion of fairness.

Frugal Sensing and Estimation over
Wireless Networks
Abstract: Spectrum sensing and channel estimation are two
important background tasks needed for efficient wireless
network operations. As we move towards truly agile spectrum
access, channel and spectrum state communication overheads
can become a serious burden unless we design appropriate
sensing and estimation strategies that can do the job well with
very limited, judicious feedback. In this talk, we will consider two
frugal sensing and estimation problems in this regime:
crowdsourced power spectrum sensing using a network of
sensors broadcasting few bits; and channel tracking for
transmit beamforming in FDD mode. In the case of spectrum
sensing, the approach can be seen as generalizing classical
spectral analysis to the case of spectrum estimation from
power inequalities. We will discuss both passive and active
sensing strategies, ranging from energy minimization to
maximum likelihood, cutting plane, and parametric model-based
methods. We will show that accurate power spectrum sensing is
possible from few bits, even for dense spectra. Turning to
channel estimation and tracking for transmit beamforming, we
will consider a downlink scenario where the receiver has very
limited computation and uplink communication capabilities.
Shifting the estimation burden from the receiver to the
transmitter, we will explore effective channel acquisition and
tracking strategies using coarse and infrequent CSI feedback.

Designing a Possible 5G Framework with
GFDM
Abstract: Two of the main challenges for designing the physical
layer of the 5G cellular system are:
- Low latency, requiring very short packet sizes, most
likely shorter than the duration of one LTE OFDM
symbol
- Massive M2M, requiring at least 10K sensors to be
connected to a cell, which again requires relaxing the
requirement on synchronization to minimize the
overhead and maximize the power efficiency of M2M
devices
Another challenge is that it would be of great advantage if the
clocking system of 5G was compatible with LTE. The large
number of LTE bands which need to be addressed by terminals
has created a major challenge in designing clocking and
frequency architectures.When using multi-carrier modulation,
the short packet size challenge leads to very short symbols.
This leads to a highly increased subcarrier spacing when
compared with LTE. Hence, per subcarrier now frequency
selectivity of the channel kicks in, which again leads to inter-
symbol-interference and inter-carrier-interference.
Another challenge exists when addressing the integration of a
massive amount of asynchronous M2M terminals in a multi-
carrier multiple-access system. In this case some
time/frequency resources, as e.g. a resource block of LTE,
arrive asynchronously in time and in frequency at the base
station. This leads to inter-carrier and inter-symbol
interference. Summarizing, a large challenge is that
orthogonality of a classic multi-carrier modulation is lost. A
possible way out is to move to advanced multicarrier systems,
which are not necessarily based on orthogonal signaling.
A promising approach is GFDM, Generalized Frequency Division
Multiplexing. One basic feature is tail-biting filtering which
allows for spectral/time engineering of transmission packets,
i.e. a tradeoff of time leakage and frequency leakage can be
carefully engineered such that tough requirements can be met.
As a result, for GFDM tough synchronization requirements in
case of a multiple subcarrier based access as in OFDMA do not
exist. This allows for asynchronous operations of different
terminals in a multiple-access scenario. Also, extremely small
out-of-band leakage enables addressing multiple challenges.
First, it allows for dense packing in spectrum, second, it allows
for a digital generation of signals for/with discontinuous
spectrum aggregation, dramatically relaxing the requirements
on analog filters, and therefore thirdly, it allows for cost-
effective multiband transceiver designs, as needed to operate in
the massive amount of frequency bands of 3GPP systems.
Finally, we want to show a possible frame structure with GFDM,
which perfectly matches the clocking architecture of the
existing LTE system. Hence, by proposing GFDM as a new
waveform for 5G, the requirements can be met without breaking
with current implementation architectures and concepts. On the
contrary, LTE can be easily generated as a special case of a 5G
GFDM transceiver.

5G Efficient Wireless Design
Abstract: Assume that one is given the ability to design from
scratch a network deployment to uniformly cover a given area
with maximal energy efficiency (EE). What are the optimal
number of antennas, active users, and transmitpower taking
into account the mobility pattern? The aim of this talk is to
answer this fundamental question. We consider jointly the uplink
and downlink with different processing schemes at the base
station and propose a new realistic power consumption model
that reveals how the above parameters affect the EE. Closed-
form expressions for the EE-optimal value of each parameter
are provided for several signal processing schemes. The
expressions prove in particular how the parameters interact
and highlight in which regime Massive MIMO or Small Cells are
the answer.

High Performance Random Access Schemes
for Satellite Networks From Theory to
Practice
Abstract: Over the past years there has been a fast growing
demand for low-cost interactive satellite terminals supporting
both fixed and mobile services, such as consumer broadband
access, machine-to-machine communications, SCADA,
transaction and safety of life applications. These networks are
generally characterized by a large population of terminals
sharing the available resources under very dynamic traffic
conditions. In particular, in the return link (user to network) of
commercial satellite broadband access networks, residential
users are likely to generate a large amount of low duty cycle
bursty traffic with extended inactivity periods. A similar
situation occurs in satellite mobile networks whereby a large
number of terminals typically generate infrequent packets for
signalling transmission as well for positionreporting or other
messaging applications. These services call for the development
of efficient multiple access protocols able to cope with the
above operating conditions. The traditional Combined Free and
Demand Assignment Multiple Access (CF-DAMA) satellite
protocol used in many professional satellite networks will not
perform optimally. Besides, for short packet transmissions, the
signalling overhead used for the reservation of the channel is
comparable to the capacity needed for the transmission of the
message.
The talk will provide a review of modern RA schemes well suited
for the provision of the above-mentioned services over the
satellite channel with potential spin-off in terrestrial wireless
applications such as Machine-to-Machine. First the key
terrestrial random access techniques and their applicability to
the satellite environment will be shortly reviewed. Then modern
random access schemes with high performance over the
satellite environment will be discussed reporting some
analytical, simulation and real implementation performance.
Capacity bounds for spread-spectrum and non-spread-
spectrum RA schemes will be also reviewed to assess the
current RA techniques sub-optimality. Satellite systems and
standards adopting random access for the return link will also
be listed. Finally, the future research perspectives will be
illustrated.

Low Power Wi-Fi How IEEE 802.11ah is
Transforming M2M
Abstract: In 5 years the number of smart devices accessing to
the Internet will 5 times exceed peoples population, and most of
the devices will access the Internet by wireless. Unfortunately
existing wireless networking technologies cannot support
swarms of battery supplied devices transmitting short
messages. To work up the emerging M2M market with its
challenging demands, 3GPP, IEEE, IETF and other international
organizations are currently adopting their standards.
For example, the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee
(LMSC) has formed IEEE 802.11ah Task Group (TGah) to extend
the applicability area of IEEE 802.11 networks by designing an
energy efficient protocol, which allows thousands of indoor and
outdoor devices working at the same area. Apart from new PHY
layer providing much longer transmission range than the legacy
one, TGah has put much effort in improving channel access by
reducing channel busy time, collisions and power consumption
in typical M2M scenarios, when thousands of stations transmit
short packets. Although IEEE 802.11ah is expected to be adopted
in 2016, the main part of work has already been done and the
standard development process is at the refinement stage now.
In the tutorial we will focus on M2M requirements and very
promising revolutionary improvements developed by TGah to
meet them.
Short Biography: Evgeny Khorov received his M.S degree from
Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 2010 and Ph.D.

Designing Intelligent Energy Harvesting
Communication Networks
Abstract: Devices powered by energy harvesting (EH) are
increasingly being deployed in practice, in place of their
traditional, battery-operated counterparts, when factors such
as the sheer number of nodes or inaccessibility render battery
replacement difficult and cost-prohibitive. Their deployment
spans the whole gamut of autonomous networked systems:
from machineto- machine and sensor networks, to smart
buildings and grid asset monitoring. It is no surprise that the
global EH market is rapidly expanding: it is expected to reach
1894.87 million dollars by 2017 at an estimated annual growth
rate of 24.31. In addition, the interest of the communications and
networking research community on EH technologies has steadily
been growing, as manifested by the ever-increasing number of
publications and workshops on this topic. In contrast to
batteryoperated devices, where minimizing energy consumption
is crucial to prolong lifetime, in EH-powered devices, the
objective is the intelligent management of the harvested energy
to ensure long-term, uninterrupted operation. This tutorial will
provide a comprehensive overview of recent developments in
the design of energy management policies for EH
communication systems. We focus on analytical models that
capture the main challenges related to their design: the
intermittent nature of harvested energy, the limited capacity
and energy leakage in energy storage devices, and the
constraints on device size and complexity. We will describe
analytical tools from communication theory, Markov decision
processes and learning theory which are employed to
characterize the optimal policies, and to evaluate the
performance of low-complexity, near-optimal policies. The
tutorial will examine in detail point-to-point as well as multi-
user networks and explore the implications of EH on their
performance.

Smart Device to Smart Device
Communication for 5G
Abstract: A nalysts predict an explosive growth in traffic
demand on mobile broadband systems over the coming years
due to the popularity of streaming video, gaming, and other
social media services. While 4G wireless technologies are
making a significant effort to keep up with this demand, the
expectation is that cellular deployments will fall short of the
required capacity unless there is a dramatic shift towards
smaller cells. There is already a significant interest in femto
and picocells deployments for this reason. However, there is
another method of creating small cells that the wireless
industry has yet to capitalize on, namely direct connectivity
between clients in close proximity. 3GPP is currently working to
enable smart device-to-device (D2D) communications within
Release 12 of LTE-Advanced (LTE-A). This tutorial considers D2D
communication over LTE-A band and aims to motivate
researchers, operators and manufacturers to broaden their
knowledge on D2D communication. While explaining D2D
communication, we consider 3GPP LTE-A as a baseline.
Moreover, this tutorial explains all fundamental requirements
for deploying D2D network under cellular system from an
architectural, technical and business point of view and presents
real life applications and use cases. In the end, detailed system
level simulation will be performed to analyze the performance
of D2D communication in LTE-A system. Energy and throughput
efficiency of the system will be used as a performance metrics.
Objectives: Although ad-hoc WLAN mode has been available in
802.11 for many years, the usage has been rather limited
compared with the infrastructure mode. Nevertheless, there
has been an increased interest in D2D communication recently,
as manifested by the WiFi Direct specifications and proposals
for LTE-A D2D standardization. A key motivation for D2D
connectivity is the potential for operators to offload traffic from
the core network, and the framework for a new communication
paradigm to support social networking through localization as
shown in Figure 1. The current ad-hoc mode of communication
does not support this functionality due to configuration
complexity. As a first step towards LTE-A D2D, 3GPP has
recently consolidated a move towards a D2D technology
(Release 12 June 2012) on this topic and besides 3GPP, IEEE
802.15.4g smart utility networks (SUN) is also profoundly
focused on D2D technology.
D2D communication uses cellular spectrum (license band)
supported by a cellular infrastructure and promises three types
of gain: the proximity of user equipment (UE) may allow for
extremely high bit rates, low delays and low energy
consumption; the reuse gain implies that radio resources may
be simultaneously used by cellular as well as D2D links,
tightening the reuse factor, even on reuse-1 system; finally, the
hop gain refers to using both uplink and downlink resources
when communicating via the access point in the cellular mode.
Moreover, D2D communication may extend the cellular coverage
and facilitate new types of wireless peer-to-peer services
whilst at the same time increase the energy efficiency of
communication. It is clear that D2D can offer a palette of
interesting colours that can paint new business opportunities
for mobile stakeholders promoting its candidacy for next
generation wireless

Energy Efficiency in 5G Heterogeneous and
Small-Cell Wireless Networks
Abstract: The exponential increase of wireless devices and the
demand for higher communication rates has put forward the
issue of sustainable growth of modern wireless communication
systems. Future wireless networks will be required to provide
much higher data-rates, but at a similar power consumption as
present networks, which makes energy efficiency optimization a
natural need. Also, saving energy is important in order to extend
the lifetime of battery-powered devices and to reduce the
amount of electromagnetic pollution. Thus, a crucial challenge in
future wireless networks is the development of resource
allocation schemes able to strike the optimal balance between
reliably transmitting with high rates and saving as much energy
as possible. The aim of this tutorial is to provide a solid
theoretical framework to model and handle energy-efficient
problems in future heterogeneous and small-cell networks, as
well as to describe the latest findings in the field.
The tutorial is divided into two parts. Energy-efficient problems
are naturally formulated as fractional problems in which the
ratio between the performance in terms of rate and reliability,
and the consumed energy, is to be optimized. The first part of
the tutorial provides the audience with a comprehensive
overview on fractional programming theory, explaining the
concepts and key-tools to understand and formulate energy-
efficient problems. By means of simple examples we will show
how different energy-efficient problems from real-world
systems fit into the fractional theory framework. The essential
notion of generalized convexity is introduced and the most
popular approaches and algorithms to solve fractional problems
are described. At the end of Part I, the audience will be able to
tackle the widely-encountered single-ratio maximization
problem, as well as more advanced problems such as the
maximization of a sum of ratios or of the minimum of a family of
ratios, which are also often encountered in heterogeneous
networks and in worst-case designs. The second part of the
tutorial focuses on state-of-the-art applications and results. In
particular, OFDMA, MIMO, and multi-hop networks are
considered, with particular emphasis on future heterogeneous
and small-cell wireless networks.
The focus is both on cooperative resource allocation schemes
to be centrally implemented, and on distributed algorithms
which allow for self-organizing networks. Centralized and
distributed schemes are compared in terms of performance,
feedback requirements, and computational complexity, clearly
pointing out pros and cons of the two approaches. The latest
research directions and open issues are discussed, describing
the challenges that future cellular networks pose as far as
energy-efficient designs are concerned. The target audience
includes both academic researchers interested in studying the
theoretical foundation of energy-efficient wireless
communications, and industry practitioners wishing to learn the
latest results and findings about energy efficiency in wireless
networks.

Network Processing with Bayesian
Graphical Models, with Applications to
Distributed Positioning and Sensing
Abstract: Bayesian inference in wireless networks is based on
a number of generic building blocks. Two of these blocks are
Bayesian graphical models and average consensus, which are
arguably the most important. Using these building blocks relies
on knowledge from Bayesian statistics, wireless
communications, graph theory, and optimization. The aim of this
tutorial is to provide an introduction of both tools and apply
them to several practical distributed inference problems,
selected from recent technical literature. Our approach is
hands-on with many practical problems, which are solved by the
attendants. At the same time, we will go over fundamental
results in terms of applicability and convergence. A final part of
the tutorial will be devoted to distributed control strategies for
wireless networks, with the explicit aim to improve the
inference. This part relies on tools from Fisher information and
information theory.
