Advanced 5G radio access network features and performance

5G systems have been under study for about a decade and are intended to meet a certain set of KPIs for different verticals. 3GPP has finalised the first release of 5G (Rel’15) and is actively working on Rel’16 in view of submission to the IMT-2020. With the current state of the standardisation, the many trials around the world and the early network deployment, an initial assessment of the 5G solutions can be carried out. In particular, a comparison of the initial vision developed at the beginning of the decade can be compared with the current solutions. Furthermore, the challenges that remain to be addressed can be discussed in several verticals both in unicast and multicast/broadcast contexts (V2X, IOT, Multimedia, Health). Organized by two flagship 5GPPP European projects, this workshop will bring together the leading names in industry, academia and research institutes to discuss and debate the latest developments in this area. It offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this field to disseminate their results in all radio related aspects of 5G communications to a diverse audience. The workshop invites authors to submit original and previously un-published research papers in the following and related topics. They could cover traditional mobile broadband or any other new 5G vertical applications.
