5G
The global race to 5G is heating up. Is 5G real, is it hype, or is it some combination of the two? WInnComm is soliciting technical and policy presentation submissions related to 5G and its role in meeting future demand for broadband, co-existence, and spectrum sharing. 5G topic areas include but are not limited to:
- Early experiences in 5G deployments
- Status of 5G around the world
- 5G spectrum comparison: mmW vs below 6 GHz
- 5G support for co-existence and interference mitigation
- Propagation for 5G

Embedded Software Systems/Portable Software Based Applications
The cost effective migration of applications between platforms supplied by different vendors continues to be a topic of discussion and evaluation. This topic focuses on approaches, solutions and recommendations in the embedded software defined systems domain that support the goal of application portability between varying architectural structures.

WInnForum Top 10 Innovations
(Innovation #1 and #2) Machine Learning AI Spectrum Management: In the next decade, it is anticipated that the spectrum management ecosystem will experience a paradigm shift by relying extensively on spectrum knowledge, which will leverage the application of data science (e.g. machine learning, artificial intelligence and data mining) to spectrum and related data, to perform proactive dynamic spectrum management in order to optimize spectrum utilization and foresee spectrum demand. Ultimately, a machine learning AI spectrum management system will be capable of adapting its prediction and decision-making through machine learning, in order to capture changes and adapt to the RF environment and related spectrum usage parameters.

(Innovation #3) Novel Propagation Models for Dynamic Spectrum Sharing: To enable next-generation, high-capacity mobile wireless networks to dynamically share radio spectrum with incumbent users, faster and more accurate propagation prediction techniques are needed to perform real-time interference calculations in support of automated frequency assignment. Networks will consist of many moving and spectrally and/or directionally agile nodes, which mean that propagation conditions can be subject to rapid variations; typically, these nodes are also concentrated in urban environments.

(Innovation #4) Wireless Technology for Self-Driving Cars: What is needed to support vehicular communications is the formulation of a flexible, extensible, and secure transportation communications framework. Such a framework will enable a competitive ecosystem of service providers, manufacturers, and deployment services to collaborate and develop best deployment practices. This framework needs a common language, technical expectations, security mechanisms, and open interfaces. End-to-end response time of 1ms or less will be needed and will become the key technical driver in designing the architecture and implementing of the vehicular communication system.
