IS3: 5G, LTE, WLAN and V2X Design with MATLAB
Presenter: Houman Zarrinkoub, MathWorks Inc.
This tutorial will cover 5G, LTE and WLAN analysis and design capabilities with MATLAB. In the first section, we use simulation models in MATLAB to learn about various 5G technologies including: New proposed modulation waveforms (including UFMS, FBMC), Multi-user MIMO designs, Massive MIMO simulations, and Hybrid beamforming. In the 2nd section, we show how you can model, simulate and test LTE and WLAN standards in MATLAB and use these existing standards as a starting-point for development of future 5G technologies or for active areas of research such as Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) applications.

IS4: 5G versus 4G Waveforms Benchmarking based on Link-level Modeling Tools and SDR Hardware applied in Education and Research
Presenters: Slawomir Pietrzyk, Mateusz Buczkowski, Lukasz Kwiatkowski, IS-Wireless
One of the expected new add-ons in wireless systems of the 5th Generation (5G) is the use of new, possibly non-orthogonal waveforms. In this tutorial, we will perform benchmarking analysis between selected 5G and 4G waveforms, such as e.g., UFMC, GFDM, OFDMA and SC-FDMA. The comparison will include identification of key measures related to waveform performance, selection of use case scenarios and finally gathering and discussing the results. This will be preceded by a solid theoretical refreshment of applied 5G and 4G waveforms. The 5G and 4G library of waveforms is a central part of LTE PHY Lab – a link-level modelling tool running under MATLAB environment. The tool interoperates with external SDR hardware platforms used to receive (record) or transmit (play) real-time signals. Most of recent tutorials concentrate on proving applicability of a certain waveform for a particular use case. Our approach is different. We aim at exposing demonstration and experimentation capabilities of the tools we developed for engineering students. As such we contribute to improving teaching methods and attracting graduate students to this fascinating field of technology. The work presented within this tutorial is done under EU H2020 eWINE (http://is-wireless.com/h2020-ewine/) project targeting experimentally-driven research for advanced Cognitive Networking.
