- Reference Scenarios and Key Performance Indicators for 5G Ultra-dense NetworksPublication . Campos, Luís Miguel; Ribeiro, Luís; Karydis, Ioannis; Karagiannis, Stelios; Pedro, Dário; Martins, Jorge; Marques, Carlos; Armada, Ana García; Perez Leal, Raquel; López-Morales, Manuel José; Velez, Fernando J.; Sebastião, Pedro; Ramos, AndersonThe so-called 5G will revolutionize the way we live, and work. In order to demonstrate the profound changes, we can expect to experience within the next 5 to 10 years, we present use cases for the planned research within the TeamUp5G project. Some use cases are strongly linked to the network layer and aim at developing solutions capable of optimizing the main promising benefits of 5G: extremely low latency and extremely high bandwidth (e.g., handle video streams, traffic congestion, user profiles), in the most efficient way possible. Other use cases focus on commercial applications that make use of middleware applications to enhance their performance. The latter fall into two main areas: real-time virtual reality and live video streaming, which are extremely demanding in terms of latency and bandwidth to provide an acceptable QoE/QoS to multiple users. The use cases presented are built assuming that 5G is essential for their support with appropriate QoE/QoS. Key performance indicators and their range of variation are also identified.
- MOOC as a Way of Dissemination, Training and Learning of Telecommunication EngineeringPublication . Gil Jiménez, Víctor P.; Urquiza Villalonga, David Alejandro; López Morales, Manuel José; Medda, Daniele; Seitianitis, Ilias-Nektarios; Al-Sakkaf, Ahmed Gaafar; Khan, Bahram; García, M. Julia Fernández-Getino; García Armada, Ana; Chatzimisios, Periklis; Iossifides, Athanasios; Morales Céspedes, Máximo; Velez, FernandoIn this chapter, the use of massive open online courses (MOOCs) for the dissemination, training capabilities and learning of telecommunication engineering is described taking as example the successful MOOC ‘Ultra- Dense Networks for 5G and its Evolution’ developed under the European innovative training network (ITN) TeamUp5G. MOOCs are usually understood as a way of teaching or learning for massive potential students. Indeed, this is the main goal of any MOOC. However, we also propose its use for training and dissemination. The ITN TeamUp5G is a training network for 15 PhD students of seven different institutions (universities and companies) where the students make research on different interconnected topics for the common goal of Ultra dense networks for 5G. At the same time they researched, they prepared a MOOC to disseminate their most recent advances and their challenges. For the MOOC, they needed to collect their thoughts, organizse their knowledge and establish a common vision of the whole system. The cooperative work, the cross-related meetings and, the preparation of all the materials for the MOOC were very interesting and useful in their training process. The whole experience of designing and creating the MOOC is described in detail along with the challenges and lessons learned.
