Resource Allocation in Wireless Device-to-Device Communications
Monday, 12 August • 8:30 – 10:30
Chairs:
Guang Shi (CIC), Ruonan Zhang (Northwestern Polytechnical University)
Instructor(s):
Lingyang Song (Peking University), Zhu Han (University of Houston)
Abstract:
Mobile data traffic has dramatically increased in recent years with the emergence of smart phones, tablets, and various new applications. It is hence crucial to increase network capacity to accommodate these bandwidth consuming applications and services. Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is a promising concept to improve user experiences and resource utilization in cellular networks, both for licensed and unlicensed spectrum. However, design, analysis, and optimization of D2D communication networks require multidisciplinary knowledge, such as wireless communication and networking, signal processing, artificial intelligence (e.g., for learning), decision theory, optimization, and economic theory. In this tutorial, we will discuss the use of resource allocation tools (such as game theory) to analyze and design D2D communication networks. Specifically for distributed solutions, the tutorial will cover a wide aspect from non-cooperative to cooperative game, including Stackelberg-type game, coalition game, auction theory, etc. The tutorial will provides a systematic overview of the foundations and recent developments of this promising technology, in particular from radio resources utilization point of view based on game theory, and summarizes the current state of the art of the theory, key strategies and techniques.
Outline:
- Basic of D2D Communications – presents the basics and recent progress in applying signal processing techniques to design D2D communications and networks.

Trends and Issues toward Future Carrier-Grade Networks
Monday, 12 August • 14:00 – 15:00
Chairs:
Xinsheng Zhang (VP & Secretary General of CIC), Yang Yang (WiCO, Shanghai)
Instructor(s):
Koichi Asatani (Kogakuin University)
Abstract:
Carrier-grade networks for the future are being developed as Next Generation Networks (NGN). The NGN is a converged solution after the legacy telecom networks by enabling QoS management and controls in IP network like in legacy telecom networks and by supporting economical, versatile multi-media applications like those on the Internet. NGN supports voice, Internet services and further services which are being and will be developed in the future with flexible and cost effective manners and with high dependability and high security. It also supports third-party applications through the open interface. NGN also provides more flexible access arrangements such as fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) with generalized mobility, and horizontal and vertical roaming as well as improved security.
The concepts and architecture of NGN are described. The current status of NGN implementation in a commercial offer in Japan is touched upon. Issues for the global evolution of NGN are also described, such as IPv6 related issues, impacts of smartphones, cloud computing, global standards and regulations.
