Do you have new research or results in aspects on radio propagation and technologies for 5G? If yes, then this is your chance to showcase your latest work to industry and academia experts expected to attend. This call for abstracts event provides the opportunity for networking with key people in the area with the presence of industrial leaders.

At the World Radio communications Conference held in November 2015, several frequency bands between 24 GHz to 86 GHz were identified for future 5G cellular networks, backhaul and fronthaul. These higher frequency bands provide a wide bandwidth for high data communications over short distances on the order of a few hundred meters. These bands, however, suffer from high attenuation, penetration loss, and human shadowing. This has generated a great deal of interest in radio propagation studies at millimetre wave frequencies to estimate suitable path loss models, and wideband channel parameters. Due to the small wavelength, beamforming and massive-MIMO are potential technologies for 5G.

Abstracts are invited from the following areas, but not exclusively:

Radio propagation measurement techniques.
Path loss models for indoor and outdoor environments
Effect of human shadowing
Beamforming technologies
Massive MIMO technologies
Wideband channel parameters and models
Spectrum sharing
New technologies such as augmented reality
Radio propagation for device to device
Dispersion and attenuation effects of precipitation
