• Ad-Hoc and V2V Networks• Spectrum Management and Sharing• RRM and Scheduling• HetNet and UDN• C-RAN• SDN and NFV• UAVs and flying platforms• Emerging Services and Applications
Investigate the Network Layer aspects that will characterise the merger of the cellular paradigm and the IoT architectures, in the context of the evolution towards 5G-and-beyond.

Ad-Hoc and V2V Networks
Hybrid Networks:
• IEEE 802.11p dedicated standard for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) at licensed 5.9 GHz (short range, flexibility, low latency)
• Overlaying 5G (or LTE) for V2X (wide range coverage, high data rate)
• Traffic efficiency, driver comfort, safety
Question: Future Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs), which communication technology to be used? (throughput/latency)
TD(16)01025

Improving scenarios for dense vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks:
TD-08-027,
Detection of faulty/defective nodes in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN)
• when nodes are not aware of the status of their sensors • improving Distributed Fault Detection (DFD) algorithms (long delays)• Fully distributed, easily implementable and fast convergent
• Simplifications (good for static networks) fail for a highly mobile channel.
• Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) + Vehicles in Network Simulations (VEINS from OMNET ++ )
• Model for interference caused packet loss (hidden node) as function of the neighbourhood and packet size
4
Network topology:
• Ring topology, one of the most resilient.• Because of delay and availability requirements, a wireless network
connected to an aggregation node must sometimes be split into several rings.
• Optimal splitting of nodes into rings.
TD(18)07017
Coverage maps prediction through ML:
• Critical to decide if more BSs in UDN are needed.
• Using sample SNR measurements from smartphones and/or dedicated low cost IoT.
• Radial Basis Network (ANN) 5
• Tools to predict SINR so IC can be performed (Piecewise Cubic Hermite Interpolating Polynomial, PCHIP). TD-09-076, Dublin,
Cognitive radio SINR prediction• Study moving interference source disturbing a mmWave mesh network.
Use Social networks to optimize through SON
6
Ad-Hoc Network emulation platforms• Survey of best known emulation testbeds
for MANETs.• Difficult to customize proprietary SW.• Extendable Mobile Ad Hoc Network
Emulator (EMANE) with energy-efficient routing (OLSR) to reproduce the behaviour of real tactical radio with 24-nodes with fixed/adaptable data rate.
Nodes mobility models considering social relations (better than random)• Towards a general theory for mobility models
Energy harvesting-aware sensor selection • Needed due to the reduced number of available sensor-to-FC (fusion
center) channels. Better than JSS-EH and SS-EH (joint/separated sensor selection and power allocation) 7
5G Spectrum Management & Sharing
IoT/MTC using TVWS. • Coexistence (DVB-T2 / NB-LTE IoT
UL/DL) in: smart parking, traffic congestion, smart agriculture, smart farming and eHealth indoor
• Maximum EIRP for NB-LTE depending on the guard band.
TD(16)01020
MBB/MTC• Dynamic resource
partitioning: adjust the amount of available Small Packet Blocks (SPB) for the
TD(17)070342, Lisbon
5G has to support extremely different traffic types, from MTC to MBB
access, reducing collisions and increasing throughput 8
Coexistence in novel 5G frequency bands
• 700 MHz, 3.5 GHz and 26 GHz bands.• 700 MHz interferer LTE BS by supplemental
DL (SDL), victim LTE M2M BS, both working at the duplex gap. Minimum distances to guarantee I/N.
• 26 GHz interferer IMT-2020 outdoor urban hotspot BS, victim P-P link• 3.5 GHz interferer LTE eNodeB, victim incumbent FS (Fixed Service
receiver). Co and Adj channel.
TD(18)07012,Cartagena,
• Other 5GNR bands in UHF/SHF and mmWaves up to 73 GHz.• Coexistence wit LoRa, Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR)

• Italy, France and Finland• 7 LTE-TDD BS (5 femto, 3 macro) at 2.3-2.4 GHz• Coexistence with incumbent FS and PMSE (Programme Making and
Special Events). • Rules for protection and restriction/exclusion zones were obtained.
Test show that LSA provides high predictability
Exposure limits• When adding 5G (Ma-MIMO, CA) in sites with other radio
technologies New method to carry out large-scale measurements.
• RRM for D2D scenarios. D2D typically re-use UL resources since they are under utilized. Limitation is the amount of information required at the scheduler (path loss and interference)
RRM and Scheduling
Across different networks 5G, NB-IoT
RRM to balance load via inter-frequency HOs.• Calculating the SNR for different frequency
bands visible to the UEs. • Users’ load Distribution to different bands
provides high QoS with gain in throughput exceeding 8%
Tuning HO margins• LB combined with HO margins tuning, so highly/low congested cells
decrease/increase HO margins. Improves end-user throughput11
Load Balancing using QoE• LB techniques maximizing QoS show limitations and may even worsen
the experience perceived by the users. Future Systems shall also use QoE as the network performance.

dense users environments.
DUDe• Compared with CRE + eICIC. With different cell
selection criteria such as path loss or interference levels. CRE+eICIC slightly outperforms DUDe in UL UE throughput in
12
HetNets RRM (5G, NB-IoT)• Static: highly sensitive to the offered traffic load.• Dynamic: drastically improves global performance but does not
automatically provide any guaranteed performance to the over-the-top services. May degrade performance, especially when the offered traffic load is non-uniform.
TD(18)07031,
• Dynamic with reservation: channels are assigned sequentially taking into account the features of NB-IoT.
13
Distributed Power Control• With independent control centers, in charge of a small region, slightly
less accurate than centralizedRRM tool: Generic Wireless Network System Modeller (GWNSyM) • based on snapshots. The previous snapshot is used to feed the
following one, to analyse service evolution and dynamics.
Cooperative backhaul• Energy efficient High-speed Cost

TD:(17)05006, Graz
HetNets and UDN
To bring the network close to the UEs
Dynamic clustering• Coordinated Multi-Point focusing on Joint Transmission in C-RAN DL, so
signals interfere constructively at the receivers. • Cooperation only allowed between eNBs belonging to the same cluster• Dynamic clustering algorithm is defined. Improves sum data rate but
also individual data rates.
D:(17)03038,

Capacity with opportunistic spectrum sharing
TD:(18)07020,
• Comparison of capacity between UHF/SHF bands and millimetre Wavebands.
• Outdoor at 2.6, 3.5, 28, 38, 60,73 GHz.• Assuming that MO have dedicated
spectrum for macro cellular layer whileScells share the access to spectrum in an opportunistic manner.
Interference among MOs• One cell from MO2 overlapped with
cells form MO1 both using the Shared band. Then supported throughput is highly reduced by the interference caused.
15
Cost/Revenue in mmWaveband• Cost/revenue trade-off in small
cell networks in the mm Waveband. The revenues are noticeably higher than the costs of all frequencies.
Hyper-Dense Small-cell Network deployments• Realistic urban scenario with full 3D Building models and 3D ray-Optical
path loss predictions. • Compared with 3GPP-like environments this
are too optimistic.• Complementary CDF of RSRP and SINR with
macro / small-cell deployment on the same carrier or standalone deployment.

resources adapted to the actual needs of the BBU-pools guaranteeing QoS.
• delay minimization, load balancing based on traffic/number of RRHs, multiplexing gain.
Realistic scenarios Porto, Lisbon, Vienna18
Fog-RAN• Smart IoT devices causes excessive
load on the back-haul. • C-RAN not practical for some
delay-sensitive applications because of the long distance device-cloud center.

SDN and NFV
VRRM is in charge of satisfying the demands of diff. service slices based on aggregated capacity owned by the IP.
Centralized VRRM model • Isolation between the VNOs to ensure that their contracted SLA will not
be affected by variation of network parameters.• Sharing the aggregated capacity among various service slices on-
demand and in a fair mannerTD(17)05011D(19)10040
