Topics of Interest.

We solicit the submission of 5-page full technical papers which concentrate on the development of LTE and techniques for systems beyond LTE Release 8. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Inter-cell cooperation techniques and interference coordination

• Multi-cell joint transmission / detection
• Multi-cell cooperation enablers (smart backhauling, synchronization, signaling, multi-cell channel estimation)

Intra-cell cooperation techniques

• Multi-antenna transmission, detection and coding for multi-antenna systems
• Relaying based systems

LTE & LTE-Advanced

• Performance assessment results, recent advances in standardization
• Experiences with testbed implementations and field trials

Protocols and Architecture

• Service demands in “beyond LTE” systems
• Interoperability and legacy issues, Internet integration
