NaNA2016 Keynote 1:

Speaker:

Prof. Han-Chieh Chao

Title:

Towards 5G Mobile Communication Technology

Affiliation:

President, National Ilan University, Taiwan

Abstract:

The third generation (3G) and fourth generation (4G) of mobile phone mobile communication technology have been widely used and launched in the world. Since the infrastructures like Base Stations (BS) and Evolved Node B (eNBs) are deployed everywhere, efficiency is a vital issue for the fifth generation (5G). However, 5G mobile communication is still just being set up. Some technologies and research issues are announced and investigated. This keynote speech introduces the expectative performance goals of 5G. Then, some potential technologies for 5G cellular mobile communications are discussed, such as Millimeter Wave Communication (mmWave), Non-orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA), Massive MIMO, Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN), Heterogeneous Network (HetNet), and so on. Finally, some tentative 5G scenarios are introduced. Our blueprint for HetNet in 5G is also given, such as Cloud Media on Named Data Network Platform over 5G Mobile Communication, and Software-Defined Wireless Bacteria-Inspired Network over 5G Mobile Communication.

Title:

Stochastic Geometric Analysis of Handoff Rates in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

Affiliation:

University of Toronto, Canada

Abstract:

Modern wireless networks are characterized by multiple tiers of base stations that often are irregularly placed and transmit with diverse power levels. This multi-tier heterogeneity brings great challenge to the analysis and design of mobile communication systems. In particular, intra-tier and inter-tier handoffs are difficult to quantify due to the highly random cell shapes and arbitrary user movement. In this talk, we present a new analysis framework base on stochastic geometric tools to characterize the rates of all handoff types experienced by an active user. We study several scenarios where the base stations independently form tiers of Poisson point processes or Poisson cluster processes, or cluster together to serve each user cooperatively. We further discuss the tradeoff between handoff rates and data rates when each mobile user is able to select its own base-station tiers or cluster size for network access.

Title:

Incentive Mechanisms for User-Provided Networks

Affiliation:

Chinese University of Hong Kong

Abstract:

The fast growing mobile data demands and the proliferation of advanced mobile devices lead to the emergence of user-provided networks (UPNs), which improve user experiences by exploiting the diverse communication needs and resources of different users. The success of UPNs, however, relies on carefully designed incentive mechanisms that effectively encourage voluntary participation and cooperation of users. Motivated by recently launched UPN business models, in this talk we will introduce two new mobile UPN incentive mechanisms that take users' energy consumption and data usage costs into consideration. The first one is motivated by the social bandwidth trading scheme pioneered by Karma (https://yourkarma.com/), and we design an optimal hybrid pricing scheme that combines usage-based data pricing and quota reimbursement for network-assisted mobile UPNs. The second one is motivated by the crowd-sourced Internet connectivity enabled by OpenGarden (https://opengarden.com/), and we design a virtual currency based scheme that incentivizes cooperation in autonomous mobile UPNs.
