5G Physical Layer: Technology Opportunities and Challenges
Reinaldo. A. Valenzuela, Director, Communications Theory Research Dept., Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent
The insatiable demand for media rich content and the increasing availability of advanced devices such as smart
phones, tablets, etc., has forced the mobile communications eco system to start in earnest to consider the next
generation solutions to address these needs. Some of the options being mentioned as ingredients for such 5th
Generation mobile radio systems include Small Cells, HetNets, Carrier Aggregation, Machine-to-Machine,
Internet-of-Things, Relays, Device-to-Device and operation in the millimeter wave spectrum range, among
others. In this talk, I will review some of the background trends driving the evolution of broadband wireless
access that will impact the technology choices beyond 2020. Then, I will consider in some detail some of the
most intriguing options service providers may consider.

Channels and systems for wireless communications in high-mobility environments
Andy Molisch, Professor of Electrical Engineering, University of Southern California
As 5th generation wireless systems are emerging, it becomes clear that one of the main applications will be
communication in high-mobility environments. Two scenarios draw particular attention: high-speed trains (HST)
and V2X (vehicle-to-vehicle as well as vehicle-to-infrastructure) communications. V2X communications serve
to increase safety and improve efficiency of vehicular traffic, e.g., warning of emergency stopping maneuvers,
traffic jams, and road hazards. Furthermore, they will serve as a critical component of autonomous vehicles.
HSTs are a major mode of long-distance passenger transportation in many areas of the world, and enabling
passengers to access high-speed wireless links will increase their appeal to users. Furthermore, also HSTs can
use wireless connections for improved safety and reliability.
This talk will start out with a review of these applications and the resulting requirements for 5G systems for V2X
and HST. We will then discuss the particular properties of propagation channels in these environments, which
are significantly different from many other cellular channels. We then discuss various approaches to dealing with
the main channel effects such as high Doppler spreads, channel nonstationarities, and shadowing, and discuss
transmission strategies that are well suited for these environments. We finally outline established (IEEE
802.11p) as well as emerging 5G (3GPP) system designs for these environments.

Sustainable Spectrum Management for Vehicular Technology
Jean Luc Bérubé, President, Communications Research Centre
With the increasingly wireless connected society, spectrum regulators worldwide are facing relentless demand
for more access to spectrum, be it from the latest applications, services or emerging technology like self-driving
cars. While the current paradigm of assigning fixed frequencies for a given service is still relied upon, the
prevailing view of the Canadian spectrum regulator is that this paradigm is not sustainable in the long run, both
from the pace of spectrum release required to sustain innovation as well as which spectrum to release. This talk
will present some of the issues faced by the Canadian spectrum regulator and the steps taken towards a
sustainable spectrum management regime in Canada to support innovation.
