2015 North American School of Information Theory
2015 North American School of Information Theory
The School of Information Theory will bring together over 100 graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and leading researchers for four action-packed days of learning, stimulating discussions, professional networking and fun activities, all on the beautiful campus of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and in the nearby beach town of La Jolla.
The School will feature
- Tutorials by some of the best known researchers in information theory and related fields
- Poster presentations by student participants with feedback and discussion
- Panel discussion on IT: Academia vs. Industry Perspectives
- Social events and fun activities

ARCHITECTING Tb/s WIRELESS
Wireless communications along with the Internet has been the most transformative technology in the past 50 years. We expect that wireless internet growth driven by the need to connect all humankind (not just 1/3) as well as Billions of things to the Internet will require Terabit/s shared links for ground based local area and wide area wireless access, for wireless backhaul as well as access via unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and satellites. We present a new scalable radio architecture that we refer to multi-comm-core (MCC) to enable low-cost Terabit/s wireless using both traditional and millimeter wave spectrum.

5G Design Across Services Mobile communications is evolving quickly with significant increases in the number of connected devices and applications demanding higher levels of performance. To support these expanded connectivity needs, the industry is actively engaging in 5G research and development and upcoming standardization. This presentation will introduce a 5G Unified Air Interface (UAI) design approach for supporting diverse requirements across licensed, unlicensed and shared licensed spectrum in both sub-6GHz and above-6GHz bands including mmWave. We describe several key UAI PHY/MAC techniques, including Massive MIMO, self-contained subframes, device-centric MAC, and low latency and high-reliability design, as well as network architecture improvements. The combination of advanced techniques is focused on providing not only the flexibility to support growing use cases and spectrum bands but also the performance, capacity, and scalability required for cost effective 5G services.

POLAR CODES FOR 5G
We present an class of enhanced Polar code structures: the Polar code is concatenated with CRC and is decoded by the adaptive SC-list decoding. Such code structures have better performance, lower power consumption, lower latency than the 4G-LTE turbo code. Polar code is a potential candidate for channel coding in 5G system. 11:30 - Lunch
