IV International School on Applied Probability Theory and Communications Technology
COST CA15104 (IRACON) Training School "Network Models, Architectures and Applications for 5G" organized by Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University). COST Training School will be held in Moscow, Russia.
The Training School features a program of lectures delivered by leading experts in the area of 5G networks. The objective of the School is to give attendees a global view, with an insight into some specific aspects, on research in key features of the emerging 5G technologies from the networking perspective, addressing models, architectures and applications. Attendees will have an opportunity to participate in stimulating discussions with leading experts, obtain useful feedback, and initiate new collaborations. Lectures will provide the background on 5G wireless communications networks concepts. In the course of the lectures, connections will be made to network architectures and protocol design, including radio resource management issues, while also introducing the mathematics associated with analysis and optimisation of the emerging wireless communication systems.
The School is aimed at Ph.D. students, targeting COST institutions participating in Action CA15104 (IRACON), but open to other institutions as well. Moreover, participation is also open to other researchers and students, who actively work on or are interested in future mobile network.
