Welcome Message from the General Chairs

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to CAMAD2017, the 22nd International

Workshop on Computer-Aided Modelling Analysis and Design of Communication

Links and Networks, in one of the oldest, largest and most prestigious universities in

Europe, Lund University. The City of Lund has great traditions within education and

research. The University which celebrates its 350th anniversary this year, dominates

much of the centre of the city and its strength has led to Lund becoming a centre for

high-tech industry in Sweden and Scandinavia.

The International Workshop on Computer-Aided Modelling Analysis and Design of

Communication Links and Networks (CAMAD) was launched in 1986, aiming to

provide a forum for discussion of recent developments on analytical and simulation

tools and techniques for the performance evaluation of communications systems. It was

held every 2 years until 2006, and yearly ever since, motivated by the ever increasing

interest in this hot research and development field. Since 2009 CAMAD has been

sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society.

The focus of CAMAD this year will be on communication aspects of 5G Networking

and beyond. It is intended to cover a wide range of topics on different communication

layers from Massive MIMO systems via cooperative network coded and cognitive

techniques to lightweight security mechanisms, which fulfil QoS and QoE

requirements.

CAMAD 2017 is hosting several special sessions and brings together scientists,

engineers, manufacturers and service providers to exchange and share their experiences,

new ideas, and research results surrounding all aspects on energy saving and the

solutions adopted to envisage an environmentally friendly internet of the future. In

addition to the contributed papers, the meeting includes three keynotes speeches, two

tutorials and panel sessions, and a demo session.

We look forward to an exciting meeting in Lund.

Title

Spectrum Sharing in Millimiter Waves Wireless Networks

Abstract

Motivated by the specific characteristics of mmWave technologies, we discuss the

potentialities of an authorization regime that allows spectrum sharing between multiple

operators, also referred to as spectrum pooling. In this talk, we will argue whether

spectrum sharing in mmWave networks with multiple cellular operators is a viable

alternative to traditional dedicated spectrum allocation. We will present a general

mathematical framework by which to characterize the performance gain when spectrum

sharing is used, as a function of the underlying beamforming, operator coordination,

bandwidth, and infrastructure sharing scenarios. Our initial results show that, from a

technical perspective, spectrum pooling at mmWave has the potential to use the

spectrum substantially more efficiently than traditional exclusive spectrum allocation to

a single operator.

Keynote Speakers – Antonio Capone

Prof. Antonio Capone

Politechnico di Milano, Italy

Title

How to slice and share a virtualized mobile network

Abstract The evolution of mobile networks towards 5G and beyond is radically changing the system

architecture introducing new instruments for virtualizing most of the basic network functions,

facilitating the programmability of application specific functions both at network core and

edge, and partitioning the radio access and transport resources so as to optimize the support

of a large set of vertical application scenarios. The research community has been focused so

far mainly to find technical solutions to these architectural problems, while the economic

need to define possible approaches to the sharing of the network slices in a competitive

market has received relatively little attention.

This talk will make a link between the technical instruments for network slicing and

virtualization on one side and the models for analysing the competition between market

players for acquiring the resources for running their applications and serve their customers.

It will also make the case for a new approach to infrastructure sharing for mobile networks

based on the idea that network resources, both at the wireless access and the core network,

can be traded dynamically on a real-time market where virtual operators or tenants compete

to obtain the resources to serve their users.

Keynote Speakers – Markus Gruber

Dr. Markus Gruber

Nokia Bell Labs, Germany

Title

The Future of Self-Organizing Networks

Abstract

This talk discusses three fundamental pillars of future Self-Organizing Networks

(SON), namely flexibility, anticipation, and reliability: First, the increasing number of

degrees of freedom that upcoming networks will offer is associated to more flexibility

and the resulting complexity needs to be addressed by a corresponding level of

automation. Secondly, networks will be more proactive in their automated decisions and

use anticipatory elements for this. And thirdly, there is a growing demand for mission-

critical services and for an Internet of Things with certain service guarantees, for

instance for industrial environments, that the network needs to reliably accommodate.

Tutorials – Fabrizio Granelli

Assoc. Prof. Fabrizio Granelli

University of Trento, Italy

Title

Virtualization and Softwarization in 5G Systems

Abstract 5G is expected to provide an unprecedented step forward in terms of performance and service

delivery, by merging the needs for massive wireless access with the requirements of Internet

of Things and Tactile Internet scenarios. To achieve such goal, consensus is growing towards

the need for an enhanced infrastructure with a high degree of flexibility and adaptability to

service requirements. In this scenario, virtualization techniques represent a concrete solution

for providing Quality of Service guarantees, service isolation and real-time adaptation to

service requirements.

The tutorial will first introduce the concepts of Software Defined Networking and Network

Function Virtualization. Then, 5G requirements and key technologies will be reviewed,

providing hints to functionalities and module where virtualization is expected to provide

benefits. In particular, the concept and possible architectures for the deployment of a Cloud

Radio Access Networks will be detailed and analyzed.

Title

Massive MIMO from theory to practice, lessons learned so far

Abstract

Currently, telecommunications providers face the challenge of increasing data rates

while also expanding network capacity by orders of magnitude. Massive MIMO offer

unique benefits that can address these concerns and enable 5G networks. To move

Massive MIMO from theory to reality, however, advanced hardware must be combined

with challenging signal processing.

In this tutorial, we give review the theory behind massive MIMO and we explain radio

channel properties being important for massive MIMO operation. We also cover lessons

learned from the implementation of the world’s first real time test bed for massive

MIMO, the Lund University Massive MIMO testbed LuMaMi. With that, we also dive

deeper into practical aspects of the signal processing used, including reciprocity

calibration, MIMO precoding & decoding, and the implementation thereof.

Short Bio

Fredrik Tufvesson received his Ph.D. in 2000 from Lund University in Sweden. After

two years at a startup company, he joined the department of Electrical and Information

Technology at Lund University, where he is now professor of radio systems. His main

research interests is the interplay between the radio channel and the rest of the

communication system with various applications in 5G systems such as massive MIMO,

mm wave communication, vehicular communication and radio based positioning.

Fredrik has authored around 65 journal papers and 130 conference papers, he is fellow

of the IEEE and recently he got the Neal Shepherd Memorial Award for the best

propagation paper in IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology. Together with his

colleague, Prof. Ove Edfors, he is leading the massive MIMO test bed activities at Lund

University.
