09:00-09:30 Keynote Talk #1:
Title: “Big Data Analysis and Cross-Layer Optimization for Communications, Caching and Computing (C^3) Networks”
Speaker: Prof. Zhu Han, ECE Department and CS Department, University of Houston.
Abstract: The recent advances of computing, caching, and communication (C^3) can have significant impacts on the future network design. In addition, there are many new technologies for big data analysis and cross-layer optimization. In this talk, we limit our scope to three specific cases, while want to give insights. First, a new formulation for bandwidth allocation and routing problem is formulated for wireless network virtualization, and the decomposition algorithms are constructed using the alternating direction method of multipliers that can be implemented in a parallel and distributed fashion. Second, the caching based D2D communication scheme is investigated by taking social ties among users and common interests into consideration, and the hypergraph and matching frameworks are employed for optimization. Third, we consider mobile social networks together with C^3 networks using deep learning to study social networks and a novel deep reinforcement learning approach to automatically make a decision for optimally allocating the network resources.

09:30-10:00 Keynote Talk #2:
Title: “Ultra-Reliable Wireless Communications: Building Blocks and Models”
Speaker: Prof. Petar Popovski, the Department of Electronic Systems, Aalborg University.
Abstract: One of the most innovative features brought by the 5G wireless systems is Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC), used for mission critical communications, such as reliable remote action with robots or coordination among vehicles. This talk discusses the principles for supporting URLLC in the perspective to the traditional assumptions and models applied in communication/information theory. Furthermore, it shows how these principles are applied in various elements of the system design, such as use of various diversity sources, design of packets and access protocols. The talk will also touch upon the aspects of wireless channel modeling in regime of ultra-reliable requirements. Important messages that will be conveyed are that there is a need to optimize the transmission of signaling information, as well as a need for a lean use of various sources of diversity.

11:30-12:00 Keynote Talk #3:
Title: “Interleave-Division Multiple-Access: Overview and Applications”
Speaker: Prof. Ping Li, Department of Electronic Engineering, City University of Hong Kong.
Abstract: Interleave-division multiple-access (IDMA) has been, explicitly or implicitly, used in several recent 5G standard proposals. This talk is to explain the related rationales. We first gain insights from graphic representations of IDMA and other alternatives: 1) IDMA shares the properties of sparseness and randomness with LDPC codes, which facilitates low-cost message passing detection. Power allocation, based on density evolution analysis, can be applied to achieve near capacity performance for IDMA. 2) DS-CDMA suffers from short cycles in its graph. This is also a problem for other schemes in which users are solely separated by modulation or scrambling methods. 3) Unlike spreading in CDMA, interleaving in IDMA does not incur any rate loss. 4) For turbo or LDPC coded IDMA systems, interleaving incurs almost no extra hardware cost.
We then show that IDMA and NOMA are closely connected in the following aspects. A) Iterative decoding in IDMA is a straightforward extension of SIC in NOMA. There is an inevitable performance gap between a practical FEC code and capacity. Such gap accumulates during SIC, which can lead to considerable overall loss for a practically coded NOMA. Iterative decoding overcomes this error propagation problem. B) The near-far gain can be optimized in IDMA through power allocation.
We will also show that IDMA provides a unified solution to two main issues in 5G: 1) IDMA with randomized power control offers a solution to the collision problem in decentralized systems, such as machine-type communications. 2) IDMA facilitates a highly accurate iterative data-aided channel estimation technique. This removes a main obstacle in achieving very high throughput in massive MIMO.
We will compare IDMA with several other options for 5G, including SCMA, PDMA and IGMA. We will show a common principle for these schemes: they all rely on edge-interleaving in their graphic representations for multiple-access.
