CALL FOR PAPERS

5G WF’18,  July 9-11, 2018, Santa Clara, CA, USA, http://ieee-wf-5g.org/

Full-Day Workshop

“5G – Satellite Networks: Applications, Challenges and Standards”

 

 

 

Scope   

The vision of 5G in delivering the advanced services such as virtualization, enabler of smart cities, smart environments, and M2M within the context of Information-Centric Networks has recently attracted enormous attention by industry, academia, and standard organizations. Currently, several High Throughput Satellites (HTS) are under construction to deliver 100s Gb/s and projected to result in Terabits/sec by 2020-2025 across the world. However, several technical and regulatory challenges have to be addressed such as a) Vision and architecture of the integrated 5G-satellite system, b) new constellations including GEO/MEO/LEO, c) Spectrum sharing and use of new frequency bands-Q/V/W, d) innovative techniques to improve efficiency, e) QoS/QoE, and f) regulations and standardization. 5G-Satellite integrated communications networking offers enormous advantages such as allowing users to access the highly reliable information for health, mobile broadband and secure/emergency services not only in urban areas, but also in rural areas, in the deserts and the seas.

 

The objectives of this full-day workshop are (1) to bring together experts and researchers from the international research community from North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, (2) to address the market potential and emerging applications and services, (3) to allow the industry and project leaders to share some preliminary results of test beds, (4) to enhance the understanding of the promising (but yet challenging) paradigm and deployment practices of 5G-Satellite.

 

This workshop proposal has been organized in the framework of the 5G-satellite roadmap working group of IEEE.

 

If the paper is accepted and presented, it will be included in the conference proceedings and be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

 

This workshop has also obtained the technical endorsement by the ESA project SatNEx IV (http://www.satnex4.org/)

 

This workshop is expected to include:

·       Two keynotes speeches by renowned high-profile scientists in this field

·       Invited papers from renowned researchers in this area

·       One panel session involving industry, regulators, and main stockholders.
