CALL FOR PAPERS

[Scope]

In recent years, the demand for high speed wireless data communications has significantly increased and new technologies must be developed to enhance the spectral efficiency of wireless network. One of the most promising approaches is to employ cooperative communications that is normally realized by deploying relays within the wireless transmission. While some fundamental results on relay aided transmission have reached maturity, theories related to high mobility transmission background remains largely unexploited. In high mobility scenarios, there exist a number of communication challenges, i.e. fast handover, location update, channel modeling, estimation and equalization, fast power control, etc. There is also a lack of solid understanding on where theory meets practice. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together Chinese and international researchers and practitioners in High Mobility Cooperative Communications under one roof, building a showcase of these fields in China.

[Topics]

Theories of PHY layer aspects and signal processing related to high mobility cooperative communications are of interest to this call, including but not limited to:
- Transmission cooperation strategy
- Doubly selective channel modeling
- Fast handover issues
- Relay positioning
- Estimation and equalization
- Signal processing for synchronization errors
- Performance analysis
- Space-time code design
- Coordinated beamforming
- Relay selection methods
- Relay aided resource allocations
- Communication with limited feedback and feedback delay
- OFDM/MIMO relays
- Power control and energy efficient design
