A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRS

Dear SPAWC 2016 participant,

On behalf of the organization committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University, in Edinburgh UK, for the 17th IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications, SPAWC 2016. We are looking forward to hosting the world leading experts in signal processing for communications and networking who will share the very latest research advances with you during the event.

Building on the tradition and success of previous SPAWCs, the workshop features an exciting three-day program of tutorials, poster presentations and plenary talks on timely topics. The workshop program spans a diverse set of exciting topics related to signal processing for communications including many emerging enabling topics. This trend is reflected in the plenary talks, in the tutorials, in the special sessions as well as in the regular sessions.

The community has shown great interest to contribute to SPAWC 2016 with a total of 170 submitted papers to the open track and special sessions, of which 97 have been accepted into the program, along with 86 invited special session papers. Based on this, we have composed a high quality technical program and we wish to especially express our gratitude to our Special Session Chair Chandra Murthy, for his help in putting together many high quality special sessions, with help from the many Special Session Organizers. We also thank all of the Plenary Speakers, the Tutorial Speakers, and all authors who have contributed to the program. We also wish to acknowledge the reviewing work by the members of the SPCOM Technical Committee, and the hard work of all the organizing committee members and in particular Christos, Faheem and Sudip.

TUTORIALS AND PLENARY TALKS

TUTORIAL 1

Device-Centric Cooperation in Wireless Networks

Prof David Gesbert (EURECOM, France) Dr. Paul de Kerret (EURECOM, France) Monday July 4th

, 9:00 – 12:30

Summary

Conventional cellular architectures have long promoted a network-centric view, whereby communication with a user device is almost always placed under the tight control of an element of the infrastructure such as a base station and where the optimization of global spectral resources is managed centrally from the network itself. This situation is changing with the new opportunities offered by direct device communications in 5G and beyond.

When suitably exploited, direct communications between devices can enable a powerful collective intelligence among user terminals, allowing them to cooperate effectively in view of improving the link quality, the spectral density or the power efficiency. Because device cooperation is carried out on the basis of partial and noisy channel state measurements, a framework for robust decentralized decision making is essential. This problem is rooted in so-called coordination and team decision theories, which have GAINED IMPORTANCE LATELY and attracted interest from industrial and academics due to wide-reaching applications, even beyond telecoms.

This tutorial is dedicated to device-centric cooperation and their application in 5G and beyond. As an introduction, we will introduce some key challenges of wireless communication and show how fundamental limitations of wireless networks can be addressed via DEVICE-CENTRIC COOPERATION. This includes wide ranging issues such as interference management, MIMO feedback design, Massive MIMO coordination.

As a second part of the tutorial we will give an introduction to the general fields of COORDINATION AND TEAM DECISION THEORIES. We will present an overview of the different approaches, their main principles, advantages and limitations. This section provides the fundamental tools used in the rest of the tutorial, showcased in a didactic manner. Importantly, coordination and team decision theories are transversal topics which are useful to other fields as well (such as artificial intelligence, control and robotics). This cross-disciplinarily will be briefly touched upon.

12 | P a g e

In the third part, we review practical applications of DEVICE-CENTRIC COOPERATION to the problem of wireless network optimization and we show how this new way of looking at the problems can provide STRONG IMPROVEMENT and NEW INSIGHTS. Considering the most common and practically relevant scenarios (including resource allocation problems such as power control, scheduling, and beamforming), we show how RECENT PROGRESSE in the understanding of device-centric cooperation have permitted to overcome the obstacles initially formulated.

TUTORIAL 2

Signal Processing Tools for Big Network Data Analytics

Prof. Georgios B. Giannakis (University of Minnesota, USA) Dr. Gonzalo Mateos (University of Rochester, USA) Monday July 4th

, 14:00 – 17:30

Summary

We live in an era of data deluge, where pervasive interconnected sensors collect massive amounts of information on every bit of our lives. Accordingly, propelled by emergent social networking services as well as high-definition streaming platforms, communication networks have evolved from specialized, research and tactical transmission systems to large-scale and highly complex interconnections of intelligent devices that carry massive volumes of multimedia traffic. While Big Data can be definitely perceived as a big blessing, big challenges also arise with large-scale network data. The sheer volume of data makes it often impossible to run analytics using a central processor and storage unit, and distributed processing with parallelized multi-processors is preferred while data themselves are stored in the cloud. As many sources continuously generate data in real time, analytics must often be performed “on-the-fly,” without an opportunity to revisit past entries. Due to their disparate origins, the resultant network datasets are often incomplete and include a sizable portion of missing entries. Overall, Big Data present challenges in which resources such as time, space, and energy, are intertwined in complex ways with data resources. As "netizens" demand a seamless networking experience with not only higher speeds, but also resilience to failures and malicious cyber-attacks, ample opportunities for data-driven signal processing (SP) research arise. This tutorial seeks to provide an overview of ongoing research in novel models applicable to a wide range of Big Data analytics problems arising with e.g., dynamic network monitoring, as well as algorithms and architectures to handle the practical challenges, while revealing fundamental limits and insights on the mathematical trade-offs involved.

PLENARY 1 AND KEYNOTE

A “Spooky Phenomenon At A Distance” Or A Potent Wireless Tool Dr Einstein? Quantum-Solutions In Communications

Prof Lajos Hanzo (University of Southampton, UK) Tuesday July 5th

, 9:30 – 10:30

Summary

Since Marconi demonstrated the feasibility of radio transmissions, researchers have endeavoured to fulfill the dream of flawless wireless multimedia telecommunications, creating the impression of tele-presence - at the touch of a dialling key. However, making this dream a reality required 'quantum' leaps both in digital signal processing and in its nano-electronics based implementation, facilitated by advances in science both in Edinburgh and farther afield. This process has been fuelled by a huge consumer market. Moore's law has indeed prevailed since he outlined his empirical rule-of-thumb in 1965, but based on this the scale of integration is set to depart from classical physics obeying the well-understood rules revealed by science and enter into a new world, where the traveller has to obey the sometimes strange new rules of the quantum-world. The quest for quantum-domain communication solutions was inspired by Feynman's revolutionary idea in 1985: particles such as photons or electrons might be relied upon for encoding, processing and delivering information. During the last three decades researchers and engineers often considered a pair of open problems. Firstly, classic systems relying on the efficient processing capability of quantum-search algorithms were considered in the area of quantum-assisted communications, while the branch of quantum-domain communications relies on quantum channels.

In wireless communications we often encounter large-scale search problems, some of which may be efficiently solved with the aid of bio-inspired random guided algorithms or quantum-search techniques. For example, Grover's algorithm is capable of searching through an N-element

data-base with the aid of 𝑁1/2 cost-function evaluations. Commencing with a brief historical perspective, a variety of efficient quantum-assisted solutions will be exemplified.

PLENARY 2

Inference and Learning over Large-Scale Social Networks

Prof. Georgios B. Giannakis (University of Minnesota, USA) Tuesday July 5th

, 13:30 – 14:30

Summary

Social networks are pervasive and encompass interactions over online social media, human links in epidemic processes, terrorist cells, and collaborations among researchers. The value in understanding and predicting complex network behavior cannot be understated, thanks to the growing role of search engines, cyber warfare, online marketing, and social recommendation tools. Real-world social networks are fraught with unique challenges that limit the efficacy of contemporary tools. For example, such networks are big (billions of nodes), evolve over time, and are often not directly observable. Viewed through a statistical learning lens, many network analytics problems boil down to (non-) parametric regression and classification, dimensionality reduction, or clustering. Adopting this point of view, this talk will put forth novel learning approaches for network visualization, anomaly and community detection, prediction of network processes, and dynamic network inference. Key emphasis will be placed on parsimonious models exploiting sparsity, low rank, or low-dimensional manifolds, attributes that have been shown useful for complexity reduction. The merits of the novel schemes will be demonstrated on both simulated and real-world social networks.

PLENARY 3

On The Optimality Of Treating Interference As Noise: A New Link Scheduling And Power Control For D2D Communications

Prof. Giuseppe Caire (Technical University of Berlin, Germany) Wednesday July 6th

, 9:00 – 10:00

Summary

For single-antenna Gaussian interference channels, we consider the problem of the Generalized Degrees of Freedom (GDoF) region achievable by treating Interference as Gaussian Noise (TIN). We show that the TIN power control problem can be cast into an assignment problem, such that the globally optimal power allocation variables can be obtained by well-known polynomial time algorithms (e.g., centralized Hungarian method or distributed Auction algorithm). Furthermore, a previously known expression of the TIN-Achievable GDoF region (TINA region) can be substantially simplified with the aid of maximum weighted matchings. We also provide conditions under which the TINA region is a convex polytope. Building on the above insights, we consider the problem of joint link scheduling and power control in wireless networks, which has been widely studied as a basic physical layer mechanism for device-to-device (D2D) communications. The idea is to select at each scheduling slot a subnetwork for which the TINA region is a convex polytope, and then optimize the transmit power of the selected links in order to maximize the corresponding weighted sum rate. We propose a low-complexity GDoF-based distributed link scheduling and power control mechanism (ITLinQ+) that improves upon previously proposed schemes, including the powerful heuristic approach of Qualcomm known as FlashLinQ. More notably, the energy efficiency of the newly proposed ITLinQ+ scheme is substantially larger than that of FlashLinQ. This feature is particularly desirable for D2D networks formed by battery-powered devices.

PLENARY 4

Topological Interference Management

Prof. Syed Ali Jafar (University Of California, USA) Wednesday July 6th

, 14:00 – 15:00

Summary

Studies of the degrees of Freedom (DoF) of wireless communication networks often focus on clever ways to exploit an abundance of channel knowledge which is rarely available in practice while ignoring topological aspects that are the basis of most robust interference management schemes. Topological interference management refers to a complementary perspective where the focus is on exploiting network topology under limited channel knowledge. Progress in this direction includes the discovery that optimal interference avoidance is essentially the index coding problem, that interference alignment plays a central role in this problem even though no precise knowledge of channel realizations is available, a new set of conditions for the approximate optimality of treating interference as noise, novel outer bounds based on aligned image sets, and connections to network coding problems such as distributed storage repair, multiple unicasts and private information retrieval. This talk will summarize the advances in topological interference management and highlight some of the key open problems.
