Hi all,

I'll organize a small workshop on Open Radio Platforms for 5G Research
and Beyond at CROWNCOM 2019 in Poznan, Poland. Please consider
submitting if you are working on (or with) interesting hardware or
software prototypes.

Best,
Bastian

                         Workshop on

      *Open Radio Platforms for 5G Research and Beyond*

         to be held in conjunction with CROWNCOM 2019
            in Poznan, Poland on June 11-13, 2019.

Call for Papers

The digital transformation of our society won’t be possible without
the support of an appropriate mobile network infrastructure. The
evolution of this network infrastructure needs to meet the
requirements of 5G (and beyond) poses challenging research problems:
higher bandwidths and lower latencies are being demanded together with
the ability to serve a multiplicity and heterogeneity of devices. On
top of this, the network infrastructure evolution must take place in
an energy-efficient and economically sustainable manner.

Within this context, the existence of platforms and testbeds that can
speed up mobile networks innovation and enable the validation and
optimization of new radio technologies already in an early phase of
the development cycle is of paramount importance. Such platforms and
testbeds are already playing a key role in testing and evaluating the
performance achieved by new research ideas and developments. Moreover,
these platforms are covering a broad set of research questions, some
of them focusing on specific low-level aspects of wireless
communications, and some others on the study of the entire end-to-end
mobile network, including in some cases extensions tailored to the
need of specific vertical industries (automotive, industry 4.0,
eHealth, ect.). In addition, these platforms and testbeds have to be
able to validate the most significant network KPIs under realistic
conditions and in a controllable and reproducible manner.

The main focus of this workshop will be to present the latest
developments on existing platforms for 5G research and beyond (in both
hardware and software domains). A special focus will be put on open
source developments, as they speed up innovation in the mobile
networks ecosystem.
