Advanced Air Interface Techniques for 5G
Summary
The exponential increase of mobile traffic due to the widespread use of smart devices, further
combined with the complexity of future wireless infrastructures in supporting more diverse appli-
cations and distributed radio resources, directly necessitates the current intensive research efforts
on the 5G wireless networks worldwide. In supporting the anticipated 1,000 times increase of the
network capacity, advanced air interface techniques are essential for 5G in enabling new spatial
transmission schemes with extremely high utilization rates of distributed radio resources, tight
collaboration between heterogeneous networks, and extremely energy efficient 5G network opera-
tion.
Scope and Objectives
The objective of the tutorial is to analyze the key technical aspects of 5G, identify the essential
physical layer enabling technologies, and present the emerging research opportunities on 5G. Our
target audience encompasses 5G researchers from academia, industry, government agencies and
standard development bodies. We aim to bridge all stakeholders related to 5G and accelerate the
ongoing R&D efforts and standardization processes worldwide.
The tutorial will have the following three parts.
1. The first part of the tutorial will start with an overview of 5G, with a focus on the
technical analysis of 5G. Specific considerations of 5G communications will be discussed,
including channel characteristics, downlink-uplink reciprocity and multi-tier architecture.
2. In Part II of the tutorial, key physical layer techniques for 5G will be presented. These
include the essential technologies such as distributed antenna systems (DAS), massive
MIMO, millimeter wave (mmWave) and smallcell networks (HetNet), new waveform and
training sequence designs, and channel estimation.
3. Emerging 5G research opportunities and challenges will be discussed in Part III.
Topics in this part cover both theoretical and practical aspects, including channel modeling,
estimation, predication, system optimization, hardware distortion impact, and interference
coordination and minimization.
