First International Workshop on "Signal processing and radio resource 
allocation for decentralized and self-organized 5G networks"

(Co-located with the Seventh International Conference on Innovative 
Computing Technology (INTECH 2017)

(Technically Co-sponsored by IEEE, UK & RI)

The number of wireless connections is growing exponentially around the 
globe. It is expected that up to 50 billion devices will be connected to 
the net by 2050. Most of these connections will involve wireless 
technologies. However, with current wireless standards it will be 
impossible to cope with this increase in traffic demand and different 
quality of service requirements. In addition, the signalling load needed 
for resource allocation and device coordination in such massive 
deployment will become prohibitively large. 5G wireless access networks 
will need to combine several innovative aspects of decentralized and 
centralized allocation looking for maximizing performance and minimizing 
signalling load.

Spectrum resources need to be dynamically shared using advanced 
cognitive radios and self-organization that will enable the maximum 
exploitation of opportunities with minimized interference and maximum 
quality of service satisfaction. Centralized architectures with cloud 
computing, context-aware, and big data processing will enable large and 
dense network deployments with high interference rejection, embedded 
security, and energy savings. Signal processing will be of paramount 
importance in future 5G networks to make efficient use of resources, 
resolve conflicts, reduce signalling load, improve transfer of 
information, improve security, make efficient use of energy consumption, 
reject interference, and enable efficient detection of spectrum 
opportunities.
