The rapid proliferation of wireless cellular systems over the last decade has
introduced fundamental changes to anytime, anywhere Mobile Internet access, as
well as posed new challenges for the research community. The fifth generation
(5G) of mobile broadband standards, such as further evolution of 3GPP
LTE-Advanced, target aggressive improvements in all aspects of wireless system
design, including system capacity, energy efficiency, and quality of user
experience. Promising next generation improvements cover, for example, more
advanced antenna technologies on mobile platforms, enhanced network topologies,
cross-layer and co-operative transmission techniques.

The Workshop aims to bring together the researchers from academia and the
experts from industry to address recent advances in the design, modelling,
prototyping, implementation, standardization, and deployment of broadband
wireless access networks. It is held in conjunction with the 8th International
Congress on Ultra Modern Telecommunications and Control Systems (ICUMT), Munich,
Germany on 6-8th November, 2017.

Topics of the 8th RABAN Workshop include, but not limited to, the following:

*Cross-layer optimization concepts
*Energy efficiency and power management
*Co-operative and device-to-device communications
*Multi-access networks and multi-radio terminals
*Network cognition and self-configuration
*Heterogeneous network technologies and architectures
*Mobile broadband traffic support
*Vehicular networks
*Client quality of experience enhancement
*Machine-to-machine communications
*Interference mitigation and coordination approaches
*Distributed antenna architectures
*Advanced MIMO techniques
*Channel estimation techniques and channel models
*Spectrum management and regulatory issues
