Title: Towards 5G Wireless Networks

Invited Speaker: Pr. Angel Lozano (Pompeu Fabra University, Spain)

Abstract: With the 5th generation of wireless networks in the horizon, work is underway to define what such
networks should look like. Challenges in the wireless arena keep mounting as user expectations grow with
competing demands for higher bit rates, vastly enlarged capacities, vanishing latencies, and uniform user
experiences. This lecture considers 5G, not from the perspective of a manufacturer, operator, or user, but
from the perspective of a researcher. With this perspective, the presentation is organized around various
reflections touching on aspects that relate to 5G but that also have broader conceptual implications.

Title: Paving the Way for Context-Aware Holistic IoT Network

Invited Speaker: Pr. Basem Shihada (KAUST University, Saudi Arabia)

Abstract: In this talk, I will take you through a quick journey in the IoT domain. I will identify the unique
quality of service (QoS) needs of emerging IoT applications and propose SADIQ, which is a software-defined
network (SDN) system that addresses these needs. SADIQ provides location-aware, context driven QoS for
1
 IoT applications by allowing applications to express their requirements using a location-based abstraction
and a high-level SQL-like policy language, and the network to support these requirements through recent
advances in SDNs. SADIQ is implemented using commodity OpenFlow-enabled switches and an open-source
SDN controller and evaluate its effectiveness using traces from two real IoT applications. SADIQ system
source code is made publicly available for the research community.

Title: Research and Standard Trends in Broadcast for Future 5G Cellular Systems

Invited Speaker: Dr. Belkacem Mouhouche (Samsung Electronics Research & Development, UK)

Abstract: 5G systems have attracted a lot of focus recently. After the pre-standard period where the
concepts of 5G and the impact on different verticals were clarified, 3GPP has started the specification of 5G.
In December 2017, a first version of 3GPP Release 15 was published containing the first 5G standard. Release
15 focused on applications such enhanced broadband, ultra-reliable communication and massive Machine
Type Communication (mMTC). 3GPP is now considering other applications such as Broadcast for next
releases. Broadcast (Point to Multipoint) is needed because of the huge traffic that media services generate.
It is estimated that 60% of the traffic comes from video. This is particularly challenging for very popular live
content (e.g. sports) or unpredictable events (e.g. breaking news) that tend to cause large traffic spikes. The
increasing bit-rate demands of 4k UHDTV and, in the future 8k UHDTV, and the emerging new interactive
services (e.g. augmented reality, virtual reality and 360º visual media) will further increase the demand on
network capacity and performance. Furthermore, Point to Multipoint applications extends from media to
other verticals such autonomous driving and IOT. None of the existing networks, whether fixed, mobile or
broadcast, has the capability to support this type of future demand on their own due to limitations
associated with capacity, delay and cost of deployment. In order to prepare the point to multipoint
standardization, a 5G-PPP project was launched recently, the 5G-Xcast, that will develop a solution targeting
the aforementioned limitations and therefore addressing future demand, based on the key capabilities of
5G that by far exceed those of the legacy systems

Title: Meeting 5G Traffic Demands in the Era of the Internet of Things

Invited Speaker: Dr. Miguel López-Benítez (University of Liverpool, UK)

Abstract: Communication networks no longer connect just people, but are evolving into billions of
interconnected smart machine-type devices that enable automatic collection of data with little or no human
intervention, leading to the so-called Internet of Things (IoT). Mobile communication networks are expected
to become a key IoT connectivity technology, supporting 7 out of 30 billion IoT devices deployed by 2025.
Mobile networks are designed and optimised for the traffic typically generated by a moderated number of
human-driven, high data-rate services. IoT will introduce a much larger number of new machine devices with
lower individual data rates but potentially much larger aggregated traffic demands, which will represent a
radical change in network data traffic patterns. Current communication protocols and resource management
algorithms are not optimised for IoT services and may lead to inefficient performance of mobile networks
under IoT traffic. This talk will discuss the main features of IoT traffic and its statistical modelling along with
the impact on current network design, and will explore how mobile networks might gain additional capacity
in other spectrum bands to support the forecasted IoT traffic demands.

Title: Adaptive Waveform Communications for the Efficient Provision of the Various Categories of QoS in
5G Systems

Invited Speaker: Pr. Mohamed Siala (SUP’Com, University of Carthage, Tunisia)

Abstract: The current standardization activities of the upcoming 5G radio communication system classify the
plethora of services to be offered into three categories, namely Enhanced Mobile Broadband, Massive IoT
and Low Latency. Some of these services require clean communication channels, which can only be
guaranteed by orthogonal or quasi orthogonal waveforms and perfect synchronization in time and in
frequency. Some other services exchange sporadically small amounts of data and, as such, call for non-
orthogonal and/or short duration waveforms capable of offering a satisfactory quality of service in the
presence of time and frequency asynchronism. To respond to the various types of quality of service that
must be offered by 5G systems, a battery of waveforms should be devised and used adaptively to match, in
real time, the varying communication channel characteristics. In this talk, we start by showing that current
4G and DVT-T systems already deploy, quasi-statically, adaptive waveform communications, through the use
of different Cyclic Prefix durations and/or different sub-carrier spacing and sub-carrier number. Afterwards,
we provide a short presentation of the Ping-pong Optimized Pulse Shaping (POPS) paradigm, a powerful tool
for the introduction of the new paradigm of advanced adaptive waveform communications (AWC) in 5G. We
then examine some transmission configurations that illustrate the flexibility and simplicity of the POPS
paradigm and its ability to optimize waveforms in different frameworks, ranging from FBMC/QAM and
FBMC/OQAM systems and hexagonal/rectangular time-frequency lattice multicarrier systems to Flexible
Zero Padding (FZP) multicarrier systems and robust interference-resilient single-carrier and OFDMA systems.

Title: Machine Learning for 5G Network

Invited Speaker: Pr. Ridha Hamila (Qatar University, Qatar)

Abstract: The forecasted number of connected wireless IoT devices to the 5G network by 2022 is expected
to reach more than 18 billion. Thus, a real revolution is needed to handle this terrific amount of network
traffic. Consequently, intelligent and self-sustained radios and network equipment's, having cognitive
functions capable to mimic and learn from their environments and act on their own without humans
intervention, is a must.

Title: 5G and IoT Wireless Technologies - Key Drivers for the Development of Smart Cities and
Communities in the Fourth Industrial Revolution Era

Invited Speaker: Pr. Sofiène Affes (INRS, Quebec University, Canada)

Abstract: In the digital economy of the 21st century, wireless has evolved beyond the traditional ICT sector
to become one of the key drivers for developing new intelligent applications of this technology in all fields
and areas of life such as transportation, security, health, energy, urban planning, infrastructures,
manufacturing, etc. This crucial digital transformation promises countless business opportunities, more
individual empowerment and responsible governance, better sustainable development, etc. This
presentation examines new technological challenges, new application-specific integration issues, and
emerging research-training requirements posed by this vibrant paradigm shift in the ICT sector. This brief
review will be articulated from the perspective of the research-training program PERSWADE (« Pervasive
and Smart Wireless Applications for the Digital Economy »), the first of its kind in Quebec and Canada
<www.create-perswade.ca>. The second part of this presentation exposes the new 5G and IoT wireless
technologies as key factors in the development of smart cities and communities in the upcoming fourth
industrial revolution era. It then presents the new R&D initiatives envisioned on 5G and IoT, technologies
aiming to empower more engaged citizens and communities in new worlds of digital societies and
sustainable economies. More specifically, for 5G, we will focus on hybrid progressive deployment of wireless
access virtualization (WAV) with leveraged combining of cloud, fog, and edge or legacy networks and the
design of user-centric WAV architectures on both uplink and downlink. As far as IoT is concerned, we will
direct our attention on intra-node distributed cooperative communications and artificial intelligence (AI)-
based localization.

Title: Robotic Communication: When Communication Theory meets Control Theory

Keynote Speaker: Pr. Mounir Ghogho (International University of Rabat-Morocco/University of Leeds, UK)

Room 1

Chair: Dr. Essaid Sabir (ENSEM, Hassan II University of Casablanca, Morocco)

Abstract: Mobile robots (terrestrial and aerial) are gaining importance in an increasing number of
applications. They often require wireless communication capabilities to complete their tasks, and in some
applications the main task of the robot is communication/relaying of information. The conventional
approach to adding communications capabilities to mobile robots does not leverage the fact that the robot
can control its position and can hence move in such a way as to improve the communication performance
through spatial/mobility diversity. Since the energy consumption due to mobility is tightly linked to the
robot’s state vector transitions (kinematics and dynamics) over time, communication-aware path/trajectory
planning requires a good knowledge of both control theory and communication theory. Therefore, designing
efficient communication systems for mobile robots calls for a new paradigm where control theory plays a
pivotal role. In this talk, this paradigm will be described and illustrated through examples, and new research
opportunities will be presented.

Title: Spectrum sharing and networking issues in 5G mmWave cellular networks

Keynote Speaker: Pr. Michele Zorzi (University of Padova, Italy)

Room 1

Session Chair: Pr. Mohamed-Slim Alouini (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, KSA)

Abstract: This talk will discuss some relevant networking issues for 5G mmWave cellular systems. First, we
will give an extensive discussion on the potential benefits and technical challenges of spectrum sharing in a
mmWave context. We will show that from this points of view this scenario is much more promising than
traditional cellular systems in sub-6 GHz bands. We will also discuss the role of coordination between
different operators for the purpose of managing the inter- and intra-system interference, which is shown to
be the ultimate limiting factor in spectrum sharing. Second, we will discuss how directionality makes it more
difficult to implement and operate network management functionalities, with specific reference to Initial
Access and Cell Search, where the energy/latency/detection tradeoff is of particular interest. Finally, we will
briefly describe our full-stack 5G mmWave cellular simulator, which includes the whole protocol suite as well
as detailed mmWave channel models, and present some examples of system-level results it can provide.

Title: Synthetic Molecular Communication for Future Nano-communication networks

Keynote Speaker: Pr. Robert Schober (Friedrich Alexander University (FAU), Erlangen, Germany)

Room 1

Session Chair: Dr. Slim Rekhis (University of Carthage & Communication Networks and Security Research Lab., Tunisia)

Abstract: Synthetic molecular communication is an emerging research area offering many interesting and
challenging new research problems for communication engineers, biologists, chemists, and physicists.
Synthetic molecular communication is widely considered to be an attractive option for communication
between nano-devices such as (possibly artificial) cells and nano-sensors. Possible applications of nano-
communication networks include targeted drug delivery, health monitoring, environmental monitoring, and
"bottom-up² manufacturing. The IEEE and ACM have recently founded several new conferences and journals
dedicated to this exciting new and fast growing research area.

In this keynote, we will give first a general overview of the areas of synthetic molecular communication and
nano-networking. Components of synthetic molecular communication networks, possible applications, and
the evolution of the field will be reviewed. Subsequently, we will give an introduction to various synthetic
molecular communication strategies such as gap junctions, molecular motors, and diffusion based molecular
communication. Thereby, we will focus particularly on diffusion based synthetic molecular communication,
identify the relevant basic laws of physics and discuss their implications for communication system design.
One particular challenge in the design of diffusive synthetic molecular communication systems is
9
 intersymbol interference. We will discuss corresponding mitigation techniques and provide some results.
Furthermore, we will present several receiver design options for diffusive synthetic molecular
communication, discuss their respective advantages and disadvantages, and elaborate on the impact of
external phenomena such as molecule degradation and flow. In the last part of the talk, we will discuss some
research challenges in synthetic molecular communication from a communication and networking point of
view.
