Final Programme 2 – 5 June 2013 Dresden, Germany - ieeevtc.org

SCD 2009 and the IEEE SCD 2011. Prof. Ellinger acts as
reviewer for the EU and for several IEEE journals. He
published more than 250 refereed scientific papers, many of
them are IEEE journal contributions. One of his publications
has been among the 3 most-read (downloaded) papers in the
IEEE Journal on Solid-State Circuits 2004. Prof. Ellinger
authored the lecture book "Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits
and Technologies", which is published by Springer. Frank
Ellinger has been elected by the IEEE MTTS as IEEE
Distinguished Microwave Lecturer for 2009-2010. For his
works he received several awards including the IEEE MTT-S
Outstanding Young Engineer Award, the ETH Medal, the
Denzler Award of the Swiss Federal Association of Electrical
Engineers, twice the Rohde&Schwarz/Agilent/Gerotron
EEEfCOM Innovation Award, and an ETH PhD Award. His
students have received more than 20 scientific awards.

Impact of cloud computing and Future Internet on mobile and wireless
communications
Chair: Thomas Bohnert Head of InIT Cloud Computing at Zurich Uni. of Applied Sciences
Panelists: To be confirmed
Thomas Michael graduated in Computer Engineering from the
University of Applied Sciences Mannheim for which he also
worked as research associate and lecturer at the Institute for
Software Engineering and Communications He is the founder
of BNCS, an ICT Consultancy, which he ran from 2000 to
2004 and prior to joining the Center of Informatics and
Systems of the University of Coimbra (CISUC) in Portugal as
research scientist and PhD student. While working at CISUC
he was invited scholar at Tampere University of Technology
(TUT), VTT Technical Research Centre and Beijing University
for Post and Telecommunication (BUPT). After his academic
tenure he joined SIEMENS Corporate Technology, the
company’s coroporate research department, responsible for
defining and driving a Future Internet strategy. In 2008 he
joined SAP AG, working at the SAP Research Labs Zurich,
Switzerland first as senior researcher and later as technical
director. In mid 2009 he was appointed chief Future Internet
strategist. From 2012 onwards he is with Zurich University of
Applied Sciences teaching Service Engineering and continuing
Future Internet research as head of the ICCLab.

Chair: Lajos Hanzo Professor and Chair at University of Southampton, UK
Panelists: Magnus Olsson Senior Researcher at Ericsson, Sweden
Simon Fletcher Senior Manager at NEC and Director at mVCE, UK
Yan Chen Project Manager at Huawei, China
Power-efficient ‘Green’ Wireless Communications Given the proliferation of smart phones and tablet
computers, which have a three orders of magnitude higher throughput than the 2G GSM phones, there has
never been a greater need for power-efficient, ‘green’ wireless solutions. The High-Speed Packet Acess
(HSPA) system relies on sophisticated adaptive modulation and coding, but the classic single-input singleoutput
systems obey the logarithmic Shannon capacity law and hence they require an exponentially
increasing transmit power for achieving a linearly increasing throughput. Hence the research community is
aiming for the employment of techniques, which are capable of increasing the achievable throughput
linearly, rather than logarithmically with the transmit power, as discussed during this research-panel.
Lajos Hanzo (http://www-mobile.ecs.soton.ac.uk) FREng,
FIEEE, FIET, Fellow of EURASIP, DSc received his degree in
electronics in 1976 and his doctorate in 1983. In 2009 he was
awarded the honorary doctorate ‘Doctor Honoris Causa’ by the
Technical University of Budapest. During his 35-year career in
telecommunications he has held various research and academic
posts in Hungary, Germany and the UK. Since 1986 he has
been with the School of Electronics and Computer Science,
University of Southampton, UK, where he holds the chair in
telecommunications. He has successfully supervised 80 PhD
students, co-authored 20 John Wiley/IEEE Press books on
mobile radio communications totalling in excess of 10 000
pages, published 1300+ research entries at IEEE Xplore, acted
both as TPC and General Chair of IEEE conferences, presented
keynote lectures and has been awarded a number of
distinctions. Currently he is directing a 100-strong academic
research team, working on a range of research projects in the
field of wireless multimedia communications sponsored by
industry, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research
Council (EPSRC) UK, the European IST Programme and the
Mobile Virtual Centre of Excellence (VCE), UK. He is an
enthusiastic supporter of industrial and academic liaison and he
offers a range of industrial courses. He is also a Governor of
the IEEE VTS. During 2008 - 2012 he was the Editor-in-Chief
of the IEEE Press and a Chaired Professor also at Tsinghua
University, Beijing. For further information on research in
progress and associated publications please refer to

Magnus Olsson has been with Ericsson AB, Stockholm,
Sweden, since 2000, where he currently holds a Senior
Researcher position in Radio Access Technologies. His
research interests are especially on advanced antenna systems,
interference rejection techniques, and energy efficiency of
radio access networks (RAN). He has authored and coauthored
over 25 international journal and conference papers,
and has been involved in various European research projects.
During 2011-2012 he was the Technical Manager of the
EARTH project on RAN energy efficiency, and currently he is
involved in the METIS and 5GREEN projects focusing on
energy efficiency of future radio access.
Simon Fletcher has responsibility for the development of
technology strategy and emerging communications
infrastructure platforms for NEC’s Global Market product
portfolio. Simon has core interests in Sustainability, 3GPP
Radio access technologies, and the management of innovation
processes. Simon represents NEC in CPRI (Common Public
Radio Interface), NGMN Ltd., and steered NEC engagement in
