Session Organizer Prof. Dr Narcis Cardona (iTEAM REsearch Institute-Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain) Session Chairs Prof. Narcis Cardona (iTEAM REsearch Institute-Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain) Prof. Sana Salous (Department of Engineering Durham University, UK) Prof. Xiaoli Xu (University of Sheffield, UK) Prof. Andrés Alayón Glazunov (University of Twente, Netherlands) Brief Decription of Session This session tackles the problems of antenna design and channel modelling at mmWave bands. It is organized by a group of experts working in Europe, but with contacts and cooperation projects in Asia and the Americas. The Co-chairs are part of the COST IRACON European networks, chair some international committees (URSI-C) and are part of 5G-PPP projects and EU training networks, being the most related to this topic the ITN WaveComBE. In all those scientific networks the proponents are providing their expertise in Antennas and Propagation, which are in this proposal complemented with some companies (Ranplan, Gapwaves), to complete the implementation aspects of the mmWave antennas for 5G and beyond. Keywords Antenna, MIMO, waveguide, radio propagation models, millimeter wave band, 5G Short Abstract The use of millimeter wave bands for 5G access has been foreseen as an efficient strategy to cope with the growth of mobile data traffic, when concentrated in hot spots and in built environments. The combination of ultra dense deployment of millimeter-wave (mmW) small-cells (SCs) in conjunction with massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) in 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) wireless networks, still need to address a number of research challenges. These open challenges include the antenna design and implementation, as well as the modelling and prediction of the radio channel response. At mmWave bands wavelengths, the modelling of the radio channel is no longer separable of that of the antenna. This special organized session puts together a number of speakers from Europe and Asia, who are proposing new approaches to the antenna design and channel modelling for such 5G mmWave systems. The session will address the design of waveguide, planar, multi-beam, MIMO, and passive antennas, as well as the path and AoA estimation for mmWave channels in built environments. Call for papers for WaveComBE ESRs WaveComBE ESRs should submmit their papers through https://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=26736 . All papers must be submitted to 24 April 2020 June 15 2020 (extended deadline) and should conform to the same specifications as regular papers. The authors cannot be changed after submission and in case of “no show” the paper will not be included in the ISAP Archives and IEEE-Xplore digital library. Their quality will mainly be judged on the proper coverage of the topic (e.g. not only work from the author’s institution but also that from the general scientific community). All papers are subjected to a peer review process. Acceptance Letter will be sent by July 27 Monday. More information at http://isap2020.org/

Registration deadline: December 17th 2018 Deadlines: Registration to the meeting and the workshop: 17 December 2018 Request of TD number: 17 December 2018 Submission of TD: 8 January 2019 Studen Grants: IRACON offers grants for PhD students of the institutions participating in the COST Action to attend this workshop. Applicants should address www.iracon.org for more information. Content: Millimetre-wave frequencies have been extensively studied during the recent years as the potential candidate bands for allocating mobile access services in 5G and beyond. A future with dense deployments of mobile network nodes working at such frequency bands is foreseen, mainly for environments where demand of extreme mobile broadband connectivity is concentrated, like in the build environments, either indoors or urban outdoors. IRACON ( www.iracon.org ) is the COST Action on Radio Communications aimed to the design and analysis for the 5th-generation (5G) and beyond-5G radio networks. IRACON participants develop accurate radio channel models for scenarios including, but not limited to, heterogeneous cells, body area networks and vehicular communications, using carrier frequencies above UHF up to Terahertz. WaveComBE ( www.wavecombe.eu ) is an Industrial and Training Network of the Marie Sklodovska-Curie Action, dealing with the ultra-dense deployment of millimetre-wave (mmW) small-cells (SCs) in conjunction with massive multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) in 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) wireless networks. WaveComBE and IRACON Committees are offering this joint training workshop on the current advances on millimetre-wave radio channel modelling that both communities have produced recently. The objective of the workshop is to provide a comprehensive insight of the propagation aspects of mm-Wave frequencies, the various techniques for channel modelling in these bands, and the system level aspects of implementation and practical aspects, mainly on antennas and MIMO systems when applied above 30GHz. More information is available in the IRACON website, at the following pages: 9th MC and Technical meeting: http://www.iracon.org/meeting/9th-mc-meeting-and-9th-technical-meeting/ Joint Training Workshop: http://www.iracon.org/workshops/joint-iracon-wavecombe-training-workshop-15-january-2019-dublin-ireland/

Applicants should address www.iracon.org for more information. Content: Millimetre-wave frequencies have been extensively studied during the recent years as the potential candidate bands for allocating mobile access services in 5G and beyond. A future with dense deployments of mobile network nodes working at such frequency bands is foreseen, mainly for environments where demand of extreme mobile broadband connectivity is concentrated, like in the build environments, either indoors or urban outdoors. IRACON (www.iracon.org) is the COST Action on Radio Communications aimed to the design and analysis for the 5th-generation (5G) and beyond-5G radio networks. IRACON participants develop accurate radio channel models for scenarios including, but not limited to, heterogeneous cells, body area networks and vehicular communications, using carrier frequencies above UHF up to Terahertz. WaveComBE (www.wavecombe.eu) is an Industrial and Training Network of the Marie Sklodovska-Curie Action, dealing with the ultra-dense deployment of millimetre-wave (mmW) small-cells (SCs) in conjunction with massive multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) in 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) wireless networks. WaveComBE and IRACON Committees are offering this joint training workshop on the current advances on millimetre-wave radio channel modelling that both communities have produced recently. The objective of the workshop is to provide a comprehensive insight of the propagation aspects of mm-Wave frequencies, the various techniques for channel modelling in these bands, and the system level aspects of implementation and practical aspects, mainly on antennas and MIMO systems when applied above 30GHz.
