Description

This is a half day (3 hours) in depth tutorial on recent trends and challenges on Energy Management for 5G networks, with special focus on self-sustainable systems and energy recycling strategies. The tutorial gives comprehensive coverage of state-of-the-art technologies and their application to the future generation of energy efficient wireless networks. The structure of the tutorial is organised in 4 parts. Part 1 presents typical tutorial style coverage on energy consumption profiles of mobile networks, the importance of energy efficiency and 5G perspective of energy management for wireless networks. Part 2 of the tutorial presents a historical and technical introduction of wireless power/energy transfer as a promising solution to power energy-constrained wireless networks. Part 3 focuses on wireless powered network architectures, designs and protocols. Part 4 illustrates case studies of self-sustainable systems and energy recycling strategies, corroborating them with state-of-the-art results on the subject.

Speakers CVs

Marco Maso received the Bachelor's degree in 2005 and the M.Sc. degree in Telecommunications Engineering in 2008, both from University of Padova, Italy. He received both the Ph.D. degree in Information Engineering (I.C.T.) from University of Padova and the Ph.D. degree in Telecommunications (ICST) from Supélec, France, in 2013. He has been engaged in research on practical implementations of OFDM packet synchronization, DVB-T2 systems implementation, signal processing algorithms for high speed coherent optical communications, and dynamic spectrum management strategies for mobile ad-hoc networks. He held a position as a research engineer at Supélec in 2012/13 and as a post-doctoral research fellow at Singapore University of Technology and Design in 2013/14. Since September 2014 is a Researcher with the Mathematical and Algorithmic Sciences Lab of Huawei France Research Center. His research interests broadly span the areas of wireless communications and signal processing for the physical layer, with focus on heterogeneous networks, self-organizing networks, MIMO systems, interference management and suppression techniques, wireless power transfer and cognitive radios.

Dr. Maso has been actively involved in organizing and chairing sessions, and has served as a member of the Technical Program Committee in a number of international conferences, including IEEE flagship conferences such as WCNC and ICC. He has been selected for the "Best of Globecom" award at 2014 IEEE Globecom.

Amel Tourki was born in Antibes, France. He received the engineering degree in telecommunications in 2003 from the National School of Engineers of Tunis (Tunisia). He received his Master and PhD degrees from the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis (France) in 2004 and 2008, respectively. He has been with Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ) from August 2008 through June 2014 as Senior Researcher, and with Ooredoo-Qatar University as Consultant. He joined Huawei France Research Center in December 2014 where he is currently Senior Research Engineer. His current research interests lie in the field of 4G/5G wireless communication systems, green cooperative and cognitive systems, physical layer security and energy harvesting. 

Dr. Tourki is on the editorial board of the IEEE Communications Letters and Recent Patents on Telecommunications Journal, and he is serving as a reviewer for several IEEE Journals. He has been on the technical program committee of different IEEE conferences, including Globecom, ICC, VTC, PIMRC and WCNC, and chaired some of their sessions. He is IEEE Senior member and Member of the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Signal Processing for Communications and Electronics.
He received twice the Research Fellow Excellence Award from TAMUQ (Apr. 2011 & Apr. 2014), Best poster award in IEEE DysPan 2012 Conference, the Outstanding Young Researcher Award from IEEE Communications Society for Europe - Middle East - Africa (EMEA) region in June 2013.
