Scope and Topics
The fourth generation (4G) of mobile communication system, IMT-Advanced (IMT-A), is approaching rapidly. With the deployment of 3.9G systems (e.g., LTE and WiMAX) in progress, ITU-R is now focusing on the standardization of 4G, or IMT-A. Some key wireless access technologies have been identified for IMT-A, such as carrier aggregation, enhanced MIMO technologies, coordinated multi-point transmission and reception, and relay. This workshop aims to be a platform for international experts to present and exchange their novel ideas on the advanced wireless access technologies for IMT-A. The topics of the workshop papers will include but are not limited to the following:
1. Advanced wireless access with carrier aggregation

  • random access schemes
  • asymmetric carrier aggregation in UL and DL
  • synchronization, channel estimation, effect of Doppler shifts
  • signaling design, etc.

2. Enhanced MIMO technologies

  • precoding schemes with limited feedback
  • nonlinear MIMO signal detection algorithms
  • joint antenna and baseband MIMO processing
  • network MIMO, multi-stream beamforming, etc.

3. Coordinated multi-point transmission and reception

  • transmission schemes
  • multi-user detection, inter-cell interference cancellation
  • effect on the system structure, X2 interface, higher layer protocol, etc.

4. Relay

  • system design with relay, performance evaluation
  • relay with network coding
  • resource management in relay networks, etc.

5. Other advanced wired/wireless access technologies

  • green radio
  • self-organized networks, etc.
