SCOPE

The enormous increase in the mobile connected equipment and mobile subscribers 
number, in addition to the emergence of data-centric standards such as 3GPP's 
LTE-A raises an urgent call to find sustainable solution that permits to fulfil 
data rate, spectrum, and coverage requirements toward the realization of 5G. 
The use of HetNets with diversified smallcell spectrum candidates at both below 
and above 6GHz is envisioned to enable next-generation 5G networks to provide 
high data rates, allow offloading traffic from the macro cell, minimizing 
energy consumption and providing dedicated capacity to homes, enterprises, or 
urban hotspots. 

This one full-day workshop is co-located with the IEEE 26th Annual 
International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Radio Communications 
(http://pimrc2015.eee.hku.hk/submission.html). Toward World Radiocommunication 
Conference 2015 (WRC-15), the main objective of the workshop is to offer an 
opportunity for academic and industrial researchers for promoting HetNets 
including the emerging mm-wave communication technologies in 5G cellular 
networks. 

TOPIC AREAS
 - HetNet architecture for 5G and beyond
 - Spectrum use and new spectrum sharing models in 5G 
 - Enhanced channel models for 5G HetNet

 - Cloud radio access networks (C-RAN)
 - Cloud services and virtual operation integration in HetNet 
 - Heterogeneous seamless positioning 
 - Resource allocation techniques for HetNet
 - WiFi offloading and WiFi/WiGig coordination
 - Self-organizing networks (SON) and reinforcement learning

 - Open and closed access operation modes 
 - Game theoretic techniques for future HetNet
 - Coordinated multi-point transmission (CoMP) techniques
 - Distributed antenna systems (DAS) 
 - License Assisted Access (LAA) 
 - Dynamic clustering and convolutional networks for CoMP
 - Massive MIMO, active antenna systems and dynamic cell structuring below and 
   above 6GHz
 - New fronthaul and backhaul architecture (wired, wireless, millimeter wave, 
   etc.) 
 - Context aware small cells
 - Mobility management and handoffs for HetNet 
 - Energy efficient algorithms and green wireless for HetNet
 - Network load balancing and smart information storage for C-RAN
 - Cognitive, cooperative, and reconfigurable networks
 - Regulation and standardization for cooperative HetNet
