Scope
-------------

The 2nd EAI International Conference on 5G for Future Wireless Networks (5GWN 2019), which will be held in Changsha, P. R. China, encourages innovative papers that advance the state-of-the-art and practical applications of 5G technologies.

Similar to the previous version of this conference, the goal of 5GWN 2019 is to further gather research contributions that address the major opportunities and challenges in novel 5G air interfaces, 5G spectrum, 5G networking architectures and techniques, 5G driven modern network systems, etc., with emphasis on both new analytical outcomes and novel application scenarios. We encourage prospective authors to submit their original, unpublished work.

Topics (include, but are not limited to, the following:)
---------------

• Non-orthogonal multiple access techniques in 5G Networks
• Cognitive radio in 5G Networks
• Channel modeling in 5G Networks
• D2D in 5G Networks
• Performance analysis in 5G Networks
