=======================================================

SCOPE
Current research efforts on 5G Radio Access Networks (RAN) strongly
focus on millimeter-wave (mmWave) access for addressing a critical
weakness of deployed cellular systems, i.e. the capacity to realize
enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) services, as discussed at the World
Radio-communication Conference 2015. Recently, mmWave technologies
have reached a significant degree of maturity and their
state-of-the-art products, operated in the 60GHz unlicensed band, are
already in the market. However, there are many unsolved issues for an
effective deployment of mmWave 5G RAN. The most critical issue is the
impossibility of providing 10 Gigabit Ethernet backhaul everywhere.
Meanwhile, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Mobile Edge
Computing (MEC) have obtained much attention in 5G networks.
Especially MEC is considered as a key technology to enable
mission-critical applications by allocating storage and computation
resources at the edge of the network, so to circumvent the backhaul
networks' limited capacity. However, in the case of mobile networks,
it is not easy to reallocate computational resources on demand, while
meeting the strict latency constraints foreseen in 5G networks. It
becomes a critical issue to develop evolutional technologies including
a smooth combination of mmWave and MEC in future cellular architecture
and the development of associated ecosystems providing new 5G vertical
services.

This workshop, co-located in ICC 2017, aims to offer an opportunity
for academic and industrial researchers to discuss on feasible
solutions including evolutional technologies and ecosystems for the
realization of 5G and beyond.
