T6: Small Cells Technologies in LTE Advance
and Beyond
Li-Chun Wang, National Chiao Tung University; Chiung-Jang
Chen, Chunghwa Telecom Laboratories
In this tutorial, we discuss the performance issues of
heterogeneous networks (HetNet) utilizing a mix of macrocells,
remote radio heads (RRH) and low-power nodes such as
picocells, femto-cells, and relay. From both theoretical and
practical operator's perspectives, we investigate how to
optimize the wireless networks with underlay small cells. We
begin with an update of 3GPP LTE Advanced followed by an
overview of various deployments scenarios of small cells
considered in the 3GPP standardization. Then we discuss
interference mitigation techniques in small cells and HetNet.
Last, we highlight the potential research issues in radio and
access technologies of 5G wireless to conclude this tutorial.
Li-Chun Wang (M96 SM06 F11) received the B.S. degree from
National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, R. O. C. in 1986, the
M.S. degree from National Taiwan University in 1988, and the
Ms. Sci. and Ph. D. degrees from the Georgia Institute of
Technology , Atlanta, in 1995, and 1996, respectively, all in
electrical engineering. From 1990 to 1992, he was with the
Telecommunications Laboratories of the Ministry of
Transportations and Communications in Taiwan (currently the
Telecom Labs of Chunghwa Telecom Co.). In 1995, he was
affiliated with Bell Northern Research of Northern Telecom,
Inc., Richardson, TX. From 1996 to 2000, he was with AT&T
Laboratories, where he was a Senior Technical Staff Member
in the Wireless Communications Research Department. In
August 2000, he joined National Chiao Tung University in
Taiwan, and is currently the Chairman of the Department of
Electrical Engineering of NCTU since Aug. 2012. His current
research interests are in the areas of radio resource
management and cross- layer optimization techniques for
wireless systems, heterogeneous wireless network design, and
cloud computing for mobile applications. He was elected to the
IEEE Fellow grade in 2011 for his contributions in cellular
architectures and radio resource management in wireless networks.
Dr. Wang was a co-recipient (with Gordon L. Stüber
and Chin-Tau Lea) ofthe 1997 IEEE Jack Neubauer Best
Paper Award for his paper Architecture Design, Frequency
Planning, and Performance Analysis for a Microcell/Macrocell
Overlaying System, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular
Technology, vol. 46, no. 4, pp. 836-848, 1997. He has
published over 180 journal and international conference
papers. He served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Trans.
on Wireless Communications from 2001 to 2005, the Guest
Editor of Special Issue on Mobile Computing and Networking
for IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications in
2005 and on Radio Resource Management and Protocol
Engineering in Future IEEE Broadband Networks for IEEE
Wireless Communications Magazine in 2006. He is holding
nine US patents.
Dr. Chiung-Jang Chen received his Ph.D. degree in
communication engineering from National Chiao Tung
University, Taiwan, in 2005. Since 1995 he was with
Chunghwa Telecom Laboratories, Taiwan, and now is the
project manager of LTE-A/B4G project in the wireless
communications research department.

T8: V2V Safety Communications: An overview
and examination of technical challenges
John B. Kenney, Toyota InfoTechnology Center, USA; Gaurav
Bansal, Toyota InfoTechnology Center, USA
In this tutorial we cover the most important aspects of
Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), also known
as Cooperative ITS. This technology is currently being
considered for deployment in North America, Europe, and
other parts of the world. DSRC is used to communicate
vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to/from-infrastructure
(V2I), enabling a set of compelling applications for safety,
mobility, commerce, and environmental improvement. This
tutorial focuses on the safety use case. The tutorial material
includes the various layers of the protocol stack, V2V & V2I
collision avoidance applications, and the technical challenges
that are being addressed on the path to deployment. We will
talk about government-sponsored field tests, like the US DOT
Safety Pilot and the European DRIVE C2X, which are moving
the technology out of the lab and into realistic vehicular
environments. After presenting the basics of DSRC, we focus
on one specific research problem that is currently of great
interest: DSRC Channel Congestion. We discuss the merits of
various approaches to address congestion, including avoidance
and active control, as well as targets for control (message rate,
transmit power, bit rate, and advanced techniques like carrier
sense control). Finally, as a case study we will discuss our
specific research on adaptive message rate control. The primary
goal of the tutorial is to empower the attendee to participate in
this important emerging technology, whether as a researcher, a
developer, or a planner.
