Description
The fact that video is (and will continue) dominating the mobile traffic is one of the drivers for the deployment of 5G. The new radio access techniques need to be able to provide the quality of service and experience that the new applications are demanding. In this Winter School we will have the possibility to learn from experts from both domains: the radio access and the video applications. Discussions to find out what is missing and where to orient the students’ research will be one of the main contributions of the training.
This three days training period will address recent advances in radio access, comprising signal processing, modulation, random access schemes and resource management, that are enabling the advance of mobile communications towards 5G and beyond and will facilitate the new uses cases, such as ultra-high definition video or virtual/augmented reality. The topics span form aspects of advanced multi-carrier or multi-antenna techniques following new paradigms such as cell-free massive MIMO, to system level optimization, including scheduling algorithms and spectrum management, as well as video applications that are able to exploit the availability of wireless 1 Tbit/s data rate on a per link basis.
Business aspects, cost/revenue trade-off, public policies for spectrum sharing and new frequencies, entrepreneurship and IPR protection will also be central parts of the training. The event also includes training on research, as it foresees a poster session that will allow the students to share their recent findings and ideas with their colleagues and tutors, who will give feedback and suggestions. Academic vision will be complemented by industrial experience, the IPR knowledge of the Spanish patent office and the “hands-on” part of the training.

Grants
Grant applications open on 8 October. Applications received before this date will not be considered!
COST Action CA15104 (IRACON) offers a limited number of grants to attend the Training School. Priority will be given to PhD students and ECIs of the institutions participating in the Action.
The grants are meant as a contribution to the expenses and do not cover all the costs.
Grants will be transferred after the school, so those that are awarded a grant must register prior to the school start, in regular conditions.
Applicants should send an email to Alice Baldini (a.baldini@unibo.it) and Laurent Clavier (laurent.clavier@imt-lille-douai.fr) with the following information:
- Subject: IRACON 9th TS – Grant Application
- Applicant’s Name, Affiliation and Country
- Applicant’s career status (PhD Student, PostDoc, Research Assistant, Industry Researcher, …)
- Applicant’s CV in attachment
