I. Wireless Interference Networks: From Rate Regions to Business Opportunities

Abstract

The talk gives an overview of recent results on wireless interference networks from information theory up to economic implications and opportunities. We start with a review of recent information theoretic results and advanced signal processing methods for the basic element of interference networks, the classical interference channel. The different methods to handle interference are discussed and their implications for multiple-antenna and multi-carrier system design are described. Centralized and distributed resource allocation and scheduling strategies consider the physical layer approach to interference and are designed to optimize a social welfare function. Finally, we apply the results to different settings including underlay cognitive radio networks and a scenario in which multiple operators share voluntarily their spectrum.

III. LTE-Advance evolution to match explosion of mobile data traffic

Luis Miguel Campoy
Telefónica I+D

Abstract

High mobile user expectations will always persist, since users want to have the same experience when using their applications on a mobile terminal as they have when using the same applications at home or in the office. Several key factors need to be addressed on cellular systems in order to provide this high demanding user experience, and will be addressed in the presentation:

Biography

Luis Miguel Campoy Cervera is a telecommunication engineer by the Madrid Polytechnic University (UPM). He joined the Telefónica I+D EMC group in 1989, and in 1990-1991 spent six months at BT labs (Ipswich) performing research on equipment and cable radiation models. His main EMC activity in Telefonica has been the planning and commissioning of telecommunication equipment electrical transient protection elements and strategies, including the transient proofing of communication systems along two high speed Spanish railway lines. Since 2000 he is postgraduate course lecturer at the UPM on EMC techniques. On 2001 he joined the radio access systems group at Telefónica I+D, where he now holds the position of division head at the LTE Systems division. He has conducted studies on radio systems coexistence and co-siting. On 2005 he was involved in WSN activities, being WP leader of e-SENSE IST project, and representative of Telefónica in the Zigbee Alliance. He has led the development of a Software Defined Radio platform, for experimentation of advanced communication techniques (UWB, configurable OFDM, MIMO, etc.) and with multimedia applications capability. This platform is currently holding a LTE demo at Telefónica I+D premises. He is currently involved in the ARTIST4G project being the Architecture WP leader. He has written several contributions for national and international conferences, and is co-author of the book “Electromagnetic Protection of Telecom Installations", holding several national and international patents.

 

IV. Cognitive radio systems: technical challenges and ongoing regulatory activities

Marja Matinmikko
Research Scientist, Lic.Sc, (Tech.)
Cognitive and cooperative networks, Communication platforms
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland

Abstract

This presentation gives an overview of recent activities on cognitive radio systems. Cognitive radio systems, as defined by the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication sector (ITU-R), allow the system to obtain knowledge of its operational and geographical environment, established policies and its internal state; to dynamically and autonomously adjusting its operational parameters and protocols according to its obtained knowledge in order to achieve predefined objectives; and to  learn from the results obtained. This presentation describes the main idea behind cognitive radio systems and summarizes recent activities in the research world, spectrum regulatory framework and standardization.

Biography

Marja Matinmikko was born in Rovaniemi, Finland, in 1979. She received her M.Sc. degree in Industrial Engineering and Management, and Lic.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Oulu in 2001 and 2007, respectively. She has been working as research scientist at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland in Oulu, Finland, since 2001. She has authored five book chapters on spectrum demand calculation for IMT-Advanced. Currently she acts as project manager in cognitive radio projects. Her  current research interests include cognitive radio systems and spectrum regulatory framework.
