The 82nd IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference Final Programme VTC2015-Fall BOSTON Innovation Meets Tradition 6 – 9 September 2015 Boston, MA USA Welcome from the General Co-chairs We welcome you all to the 82nd IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2015-Fall) hosted in one of America’s most historic and culturally-rich cities: Boston! It will be exciting to immerse in numerous significant historical sites following the Freedom Trail, strolling Quincy Market/Fanueil Hall, Boston Harbor, Bunker Hill, USS Constitution, the Boston Commons, and Fenway Park. Or you may prefer to follow the footsteps of Bell to the birth place of the phone or Marconi and the location of the first wireless transmission in North America. Boston and the surrounding New England area is also one of the premier high technology regions in the Nation and the World, with hundreds of companies and dozens of universities calling this area home. Consequently, we believe that the theme for VTC2015-Fall is very fitting: Innovation Meets Tradition. Connected vehicles, mobile networks and applications, wireless communications, and vehicular systems – we truly live in a highly mobile world, where today's society is becoming ever increasingly reliant on these technologies for supporting a plethora of essential day-to-day operations. With this growing demand for vehicular technologies and applications, we are also beginning to experience numerous technical challenges that require innovative solutions in order to enable the continuation of this growth. Consequently, we are very excited by the 4-day conference program that has been assembled for VTC2015-Fall. We have 74 oral technical sessions of high-quality papers from around the world to be presented by international experts, accompanied by three poster sessions presenting recent results of the latest vehicular, mobile, and wireless technologies. Twenty-six short papers will be presented in both 3minute “elevator-pitch” oral presentation and poster presentation formats. Three industry tracks taking place: automotive technologies; 5G and future wireless technologies; and autonomous systems & connected vehicles. We thank our gold-level patrons and exhibitors MediaTek and Analog Devices, our bronze-level patron TELUS, our workshop patron and exhibitor National Instruments, and our exhibitors Azimuth Systems, BeeCube, and MathWorks for their generous support of this conference. During this conference, you will discover the latest ideas and research findings in vehicular technology. We hope that you will brainstorm and share ideas with your fellow conference attendees, and foster research collaborations and friendships that will increase and grow even after the conclusion of this event. We encourage all of you to explore Boston after hours and enjoy the sights and activities provided by our host city! Wishing you a very productive and exciting conference experience, and we hope to meet all of you in-person during this event in Boston! Alex Wyglinski and Zoran Zvonar General Co-chairs, IEEE VTC2015-Fall Welcome from the TPC Co-chairs Welcome to Boston! We are excited to present a comprehensive technical program for VTC Fall 2015 that will engage and interest you over the next few days. You will have the opportunity to learn about an incredibly wide range of cutting-edge research topics related to technology for vehicular communications. This spans research on individual networked devices to operation of entire fleets of vehicles. To help organize the material for attendees, the conference is arranged into a number of tracks and workshops. The tracks form the core of the conference and are comprised of similarly themed papers. These core tracks are augmented by Recent Results and Short Papers that insert ongoing and highly specialized research topics into the overall technical program. 2 Finally, the Workshops and Emerging Technology Tracks provide focused settings for technologies that we wanted to highlight. We hope that you will take the opportunity to enjoy this wide range of papers, presentations, and posters from a diverse and international set of academic and industrial researchers. A significant amount of work goes into preparing an event as complex as VTC. We owe too many debts of gratitude to even enumerate them all, but there were a few select teams that deserve explicit recognition. First, we would like to thank all the authors for the performing their research and taking the effort to share it with the world. We received submissions from every corner of the globe and through a rigorous review process, we selected just over 400 papers for The 82nd IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference VTC2015-Fall Boston Programme inclusion in the program. These selections were made by a team of more than 1000 expert volunteers, both TPC members and external reviewers, who provided their time and energy to ensure a high quality program. Lastly, we must recognize the contributions of the more than 30 track chairs and workshop organizers who were the lynch pins of the whole operation. Each of these individuals spent many hours over nights and weekends in their service to the conference, and without their dedication, the event literally would not exist. Thank you! We hope you all enjoy your time in the Boston and look forward to interacting with all of you in the future. Kaushik Chowdhury, Nicholas Kirsch and Tom MacDonald, TPC Co-chairs, IEEE VTC2015-Fall Welcome from the VTS President On behalf of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the IEEE 82nd Vehicular Technology Conference in Boston. We will gather once again for four days of technical and scientific meetings and informal exchanges with researchers from around the globe; for more than 60 years, specialists from academia, government and industry have taken advantage of this forum to disseminate their latest findings in wireless, mobile and vehicular technology, and to discuss the future of the discipline. This edition will again attract several hundred delegates from many different countries. The organization of such an event requires years of planning and execution, and I would like to recognize the tremendous efforts and leadership of General coChairs Alex Wyglinski and Zoran Zvonar, who have put together an outstanding team to deliver an event that promises to be memorable. Among the members of the organizing team, let me also single out Technical Program co-Chairs Kaushik Chowdhury, Tom MacDonald and Nicholas Kirsch: their hard Organizing Committee work ensures that the program you will experience meets the highest technical and scientific standards that our community has come to expect. “Innovation meets Tradition” is the theme of this conference, and this could not be more fitting in such an exceptional setting as Boston; known in the United States as the Cradle of Liberty, Boston is a city full of history that you will enjoy exploring on foot, on a path that will lead you through many key moments of the formation of the country. At the same time, Boston is one of the largest education cities in North America, home to world-leading educational institutions, and thriving with high tech companies. I hope you will be able to join us for the conference banquet, featuring a traditional New England clambake! I hope that your overall experience at VTC Boston will be an enjoyable one, and that we will be able to meet in person during the event.

Evolution from a struggling industry in early days for Ethernet cable replacement in offices and manufacturing floors to today’s most popular wireless access and localization technology for SOHO coverage, smart phones, tablets and consumer products. It also addresses how innovative technologies such as optical wireless, mmWave, spread spectrum, OFDM and MIMO first were discovered for WLAN and then evolved into cellular networking industry? Finally the lecture points at the future anticipations for large scale deployment of Wi-Fi networks, AP sharing and emergence of cable companies as wireless providers, temporary deployments for overly populated occasions, wide and inexpensive coverage of remote areas and the emergence of Wi-Fi in VANET industry. It explains how Wi-Fi on the Drones, Balloons and even pigeons are considered to extend the coverage of WiFi for inexpensive wireless access and localization and to enable myriad of new applications. Kaveh Pahlavan is a Professor of ECE, a of CS, and Director of the Center for Wireless Information Network Studies, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA. He is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal on Wireless Information Networks and a member of the advisory board of the IEEE Wireless Magazine. He has founded and chaired a number of pioneering international conferences in wireless networking. He has been a Westin Hadden Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at WPI, a fellow of the IEEE, a fellow of the Nokia, a Fulbright-Nokia scholar and recipient of the Board of Trustees Award for Outstanding Research and Creative Scholarship at WPI. He has been involved in research and entrepreneurship in WLAN access and localization for over four decades and has written several books and numerous papers and patents on thetopic Monday 7 September 2015, 9:45–10:30 (Harbor Ballroom 1, 2 & 3) Quantum-Wireless: A “Spooky Phenomenon at a Distance” or a Potent Wireless Tool Dr Einstein? Lajos Hanzo, Professor of Electronics and Computer Science, Southampton University Since Marconi demonstrated the feasibility of radio transmissions, researchers have endeavoured to fulfill the dream of flawless wireless multimedia telecommunications, creating the impression of tele-presence – at the touch of a dialling key... However, making this dream a reality required ‘quantum’ leaps both in digital signal processing and in its nanoelectronics based implementation, facilitated by advances in science. This process has been fuelled by a huge consumer market. Moore’s laws has indeed prevailed since he outlined his empirical rule-of-thumb in 1965, but based on this the scale of integration is set to depart from classical physics obeying the well-understood rules revealed by science and enter into a new world, where the traveller has to obey the sometimes strange new rules of the quantum-world. The quest for quantum-domain communication solutions was inspired by Feynman’s revolutionary idea in 1985: particles such as photons or electrons might be relied upon for encoding, processing and delivering information. During the last three decades researchers and engineers often considered a pair of open problems. Firstly, classic systems relying on the efficient processing capability of quantum-search algorithms were considered in the area of quantum-assisted communications, while the branch of quantum-domain communications relies on quantum channels constituted by the deleterious effects of the environment perturbing the quantum-state of particles. In wireless communications we often encounter large-scale search problems, some of which may be efficiently solved with the aid of bio-inspired random guided algorithms or quantum-search techniques. For example, Grover’s algorithm is capable of searching through an N-element data-base with the aid of square-root N costfunction evaluations. Commencing with a brief historical perspective, a variety of efficient quantum-assisted solutions will be exemplified. Lajos Hanzo, FREng, FIEEE, FIET, EURASIP Fellow, RS Wolfson Fellow, received his 5-year Master degree in electronics from the Technical University of Budapest in 1976, his doctorate in 1983 and his Doctor of Sciences (DSc) degree in 2004. He received honorary doctorates from the University of Edinburgh and Budapest. During his career in telecommunications he has held various research and academic posts in Hungary, Germany and the UK. Since 1986 he has been with the School of ECS, University of Southampton, UK, where he holds the Chair in Telecommunications. He co-authored 20 IEEE - John Wiley books and 1500+ IEEE Xplore contributions. His current research interests are featured at http://www-mobile.ecs.soton.ac.uk The Westin Boston Waterfront, in Boston, USA 6-9 September 2015 13 14 The 82nd IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference VTC2015-Fall Boston Programme Tuesday 8 September 2015, 9:00–9:45 (Harbor Ballroom 1, 2 & 3) SDN/NFV enabling future Carrier Networks Gagan Puranik, Head of Network Planning Architecture, Verizon SDN and NFV initiatives are important to Verizon and other network operators because we are seeing demand for increased bandwidth without corresponding increases in revenues. Consumers of that bandwidth aren't necessarily willing to pay more for it. The traditional ways of building networks, using purpose-built hardware in networks engineered for peak traffic demand, don't work in this new paradigm. This paradigm shift affects many operators and suppliers; therefore the solutions necessary to drive the technological shift must be well coordinated. Having a standard version of SDN is “a prerequisite” to deployment, because Verizon needs to be sure that whatever it deploys can interoperate not only with other pieces of its network but also future networks. This multi-year effort is designed to allow Verizon and its partners to be far more efficient, resilient, and dynamic with its service offerings through: (i) An increased reliance on software, not dedicated HW; (ii) More frequent deployment of new services through small scale trials and shorter release cycles; (iii) Embracing a “fail fast” mentality that will allow VZ and its partners to take smart risks, and pivot quickly in those instances where we don’t exactly hit the mark At Verizon this technology shift will include: Hardware-software separation; User plane - control plane separation; Automated FCAPS; Micro releases; Automated testing/deployment; Real-time automated resource management - configuration and capacity management; Network programmability via open APIs. Gagan Puranik is Director of Software Defined Network (SDN) Architecture Planning for Verizon. He is responsible for collaborating with wireless, wireline, and capital planning teams on all functional and service level migrations tied to a softwarebased architecture. This includes strategic design standards implementation, and industry engagement. Over his last 18 years with Verizon, Gagan has held numerous leadership positions in various parts of the business. Gagan’s most recent assignments include leading Verizon’s Phase 4 LTE Trials, which took place in Boston, and helping to foster the rapid adoption of LTE at Verizon's Innovation Centers, which are designed to spur the growth of new business. Gagan has been issued 5 US patents. He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering from University of Mysore, India and a Master’s Degree in Computer Science from Mississippi State University. He earned his MBA from Belhaven University and attended “Leading Product Innovation” from Harvard Business School.

Wednesday 9 September 2015, 9:00–9:45 (Harbor Ballroom 1, 2 & 3) When a Car and a Plane Combine… Certain Restrictions Apply Kevin Colburn, COO, Terrafugia Terrafugia is developing two distinct products. The Transition®, which we aim to have in production in the next few years, is a two-seat, Light Sport Aircraft that can be driven from the arrival airport to your final destination. It addresses the general aviation pilot’s biggest usage problems – weather sensitivity, cost and convenience of ownership, and door-to-door travel time – but designing a product for both runways and roads poses a host of challenges. Factors like weight, cost, crash safety, and flight characteristics, not to mention the regulations of two federal agencies, must be balanced and addressed with engineering solutions. In some cases the answers are available in a catalog, but in other cases, we take inspiration from both the aviation and automotive worlds and do it our own way. The Westin Boston Waterfront, in Boston, USA 6-9 September 2015 15 We are leveraging experience from the Transition® development to address the technical integration and regulatory challenges of the second product, the TF-X™, which is currently in concept development. The TFX™ will be a four-seat, plug-in hybrid-electric vehicle that will feature vertical takeoff and landing, so no airports or runways will be needed. It will also leverage the emergence of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) system, in which an aircraft uses WAAS/SBAS GPS technology to broadcast its location, airspeed, heading, and other data for long-range collision avoidance, as well as onboard sense-andavoid systems for short-range avoidance. Such significantly improved situational awareness will enable the TFX™ to be semi-autonomous – to the extent that we envision that the operator will not need a pilot’s license at all. Kevin Colburn is Chief Operating Officer and VP Engineering at Terrafugia. He has developed deep experience in program management and team leadership across a variety of industries, from hybrid-electric vehicles to consumer products. Kevin has achieved Six Sigma and Professional Engineer certifications, has built and motivated strong teams, and has been a key player in the launch of complex products in multiple industries. He also has start-up experience as a co-founder of Orca Energy, SL, and in management positions at Azure Dynamics and Blu Homes. He holds an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Davis, and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Clemson University.

Sunday, 6 September 2015, 8.30 – 12.00 Marina Room 1 T3: Near-Capacity Wireless Multimedia Design and Streaming for 5G Lajos Hanzo, University of Southampton In the multimedia era we live in much of the tele-traffic is generated by smart phones and tablet computers exchanging high-quality, high-rate video signals, which is responsible for the data-Tsunami we experience. This trend is set to continue during the ensuing 5G era and hence the high-compression yet errorresilient streaming of multimedia signals is of prime importance. Fortunately, most multimedia source signals are capable of tolerating lossy, rather than lossless delivery to the human eye, ear and other human sensors. The corresponding lossy and preferably low-delay multimedia source codecs however exhibit unequal error sensitivity, which is not the case for Shannon’s ideal entropy codec. In this research-review a unified treatment of near capacity multimedia communication systems is offered, where we focus our attention not only on source and channel coding aspects but also on their iterative decoding and transmission problems. There is a paucity of up-to-date surveys and tutorials on this important subject, hence this course aims to The 82nd IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference VTC2015-Fall Boston Programme fill the related gap. A critical appraisal of source-compression, channel coding transmission and their joint holistic treatment is offered.

Sunday, 6 September 2015, 13.30 – 17.00 Marina Room 2 T6: Emerging Concepts and Technologies towards 5G+ Wireless Networks Halim Yanikomeroglu, Carelton University Enabling a further traffic increase of around 1,000 times, latency reduction of around 100 times, device increase of around 100 times in the next 15 years or so, while no customer is willing to pay more for the wireless pipe itself: the so called “trafficrevenue decoupling”. Moreover, many experts warn that the lowhanging fruits in wireless research (especially in information theory, communications theory, and signal processing) have already been collected. While the research community is full of ideas (as usual), many of these ideas are either not-too-relevant (i.e., not in the bottleneck areas) or they are in areas in which progress toward a tangible implementation is too slow. The overall goal of the tutorial is to identify the emerging concepts and technologies, and the necessary analytical tools to study them (such as optimization, game theory, dynamic feedback control, and artificial intelligence). Towards that end, a number of important components will be presented in the single coherent framework of 5G cellular networks with a “systems” scope and approach.

These demands are however confronted by limitations in the available wireless spectrum and energy storage devices, which poses challenges to researchers and engineers worldwide. Multi-way communication and cooperation (appearing naturally, for instance, body area networks) are two resource-efficient techniques which are potential solutions for the aforementioned challenges in future communication systems (such as 5G and IoT). These techniques benefit from the presence of intermediate nodes acting as relays, which in turn enables the use of modern communication strategies to establish cooperation between several nodes, such as network coding. As a consequence there is an increasing need for the understanding of the fundamental characteristics of multi-way networks and of cooperation. This tutorial sheds light on this topic by reviewing state-of-the-art results on two-way and multiway relay channels, and discussing opportunities and challenges therein. In addition, some live-demos are shown from the wireless full-duplex testbed illustrating the practical feasibility of full-duplex multi-way communication. Aydin Sezgin received the Dipl.-Ing.

A lot of research has already been conducted in the past years to determine the key technology components to address these novel and diverse requirements, yielding the consensus that there cannot be a “one-size-fits-all” approach, but that 5G will rather consist of an integration of evolved legacy and novel radio technologies that will jointly provide the needed versatility, scalability and efficiency to address the 5G requirements. However, there is still the need for substantial consensus-building on key design aspects related e.g. to the overall 5G radio access network (RAN), in particular as 5G standardization is expected to start with first study items in 3GPP already in 2016. This panel is organized by the 5G-PPP project METIS-II, which has the objective to provide a comprehensive and detailed 5G RAN design for an efficient start of 5G standardization, and will address the most controversially discussed aspects related to 5G RAN design, e.g. 1) how a reasonable and meaningful subset of 5G functionality can already be standardized in 3GPP Rel. 14, in order to enable early 5G roll-outs in 2020, without limiting the longer-term potential of 5G, 2) to which extent novel air interfaces introduced in 5G can be scalable to different needs and carrier frequencies, and how these will divide the overall requirements space among themselves, 3) what the role of evolved legacy radio interface technology (e.g. LTE-A) will be in the 5G era, and 4) which precise trade-off between flexibility and complexity should be chosen for 5G, for instance considering RAN virtualization? Dr. Patrick Marsch received his Dipl.-Ing. and Dr.-Ing. degrees from Technische Universität Dresden, Germany, in 2004 and 2010, respectively.

Customer Experience Management in 5G Haris Gačanin, Alcatel-Lucent In the last few years it was advocated that mobile customers in 4G expect to be “connected” at all time and at any place. However, this time we have to be more precise. Today’s requirements from the customer’s perspective are much more demanding. They expect to have a guaranteed “service quality” or “quality of experience” at all time, at any place (indoor or outdoor) and through different devices. This sets a challenging requirement on the nextgeneration (name it 5G) access technology (technologies) to provide seamless customer experience with respect to network (access), device and service requirements. What we expect from 5G innovations will enhance new services and enrich our societies beyond what we experience today. It is evident that management paradigm needs to be changed. 20 Haris Gačanin received Dipl.-Ing. degree in Electrical engineering from University of Sarajevo in 2000. He received M.E.E. and Ph.D from Tohoku University, Japan, in 2005 and 2008, respectively.

Air interface evolution towards 5G Klaus Pedersen, Nokia In this talk we start with 5G radio requirements and use cases, including an overview of the possible spectrum opportunities. The evolution towards a new 5G air interface design is afterwards discussed, elaborating on the possible key components and their pros and cons. Among others, the need for a highly flexible air interface to meet diverse service requirements, as well as adaptation in coherence with the radio environment, is motivated. The evolution of LTE-Advanced to support higher bandwidth, increased spectral efficiency, shorter latency, and new use cases is also addressed. The talk is closed with an outline of possibilities for introducing state-of-the-art 5G air interface innovations. Klaus I. Pedersen received his M.Sc. E.E. and Ph.D. degrees in 1996 and 2000, respectively, from Aalborg University, Denmark. He is currently with Nokia Networks in Aalborg, where he is a senior wireless network specialist.

Tuesday 8 September 2015, 11:00–12:30 (Burroughs) K4: 5G Architectures Moderator: Panelists: Simone Redana Naseem Khan Reinaldo Valenzuela Andrew Clegg Andy Lippman Radio Research Manager, Nokia Networks Distinguished Member of Technical Staff, Verizon Director Wireless Comms Research Dept, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs Spectrum Engineering Lead, Google Associate Director, MIT Media Lab Mobile networks have become the main communication vehicle for the upcoming connected society. In addition to humans, billions of machines will be connected to the network in the future, yielding a 10.000 traffic increase beyond 2020. However, such traffic increase does not necessarily lead to a similar increase in the revenue of mobile network operators, which need to make very high investments to handle all this traffic. This challenges the deployment of a mobile network that can satisfy the requirements of the society and at the same time is sustainable for network operators. A fundamental piece to address this challenge is the design of a novel mobile network architecture that provides the necessary flexibility to offer new services in an efficient way and inherently can share or distribute infrastructure resources dynamically, such that operators can increase their revenue through the new services, while leveraging the efficiency of the architecture to do so in a cost-effective way. Current mobile networks are not well suited to address the above challenge. In 4G mobile networks, large effort was made in making the air interface fully adaptive to changing radio conditions, but lack similar functionality to optimize the network side. Eventually, while current architectures have been very successful in the last few years, they do not provide the required flexibility to cope with the service and traffic diversity required by 5G mobile networks as well as the current trends in terms of topologies. Such trends (in terms of traffic and topologies) make networks increasingly heterogeneous and require tailored solutions to adapt to each specific scenario and service in an efficient way. In order to overcome the limitations of today’s networks, the central goal of this panel is to discuss about future mobile network architectures that can flexibly adapt its operation to the specific characteristics and requirements of a given service and scenario.
