Dr. Hong is a Fellow of IEEE, Fellow of CIE, Vice-Presidents of Microwave Society and Antenna Society of CIE, IEEE MTT-S AdCom Member, Chairperson of IEEE MTT-S/AP-S/EMC-S Joint Nanjing Chapter, and served for the associate editor of IEEE Trans. on MTT during 2007-2010, and the editor board members for IJAP, China Communications, and Chinese Science Bulletin etc.

Abstract

Millimeter Wave Communications for 5G

In this talk, the current research status of China 5G is briefly introduced, including the candidate frequency bands, goal and key technologies etc. Then, the research advances in millimeter wave indoor and outdoor communications for 5G is presented. Especially, the research advance in IEEE 802.11aj(45GHz) or Q-LINKPAN in China is reviewed, which was proposed mainly by the authors and now is considered as a part of Chinese 5G. Besides, the development and measurement of multibeam antennas for 5G massive MIMO are also reviewed.
