Download CfP for Doctoral Symposium Papers
The goal of the IEEE 5GWF’18 2018 Doctoral Symposium is to provide a supportive setting in which PhD students can present and receive feedback on their work. Students at different stages in their research will be able to articulate and discuss their problem statement, goals, methods, and results. The symposium also aims to provide students with useful guidance on various aspects of their research from established researchers and the other student attendees. Finally, the symposium seeks to motivate students in the development of their scientific curiosity and facilitate their networking within the research community. The PhD symposium also aims to facilitate networking among researcher in the 5G community and help students establish contacts for entering the job market. PhD Symposium attendance is open to all IEEE 5GWF’18 registrants.
How to Submit
Paper on PhD research project (max. 2-4 pages) formatted as noted above. A letter of recommendation from the supervisor attached to the proposal submission. Full contact information including affiliation, address, e-mail and phone. Papers must be submitted electronically: EDAS link

I. Start-ups
This initiative is meant to actively promote the engagement of start-ups and new businesses in pioneering innovation in 5G. The 5G challenges are pretty much known by now such as latency and reliability, something of a holy grail. Shaving latency down to 1ms for a host of applications from virtual reality games to tele-medicine will be another one of the toughest challenges of 5G. Start-ups are invited to showcase their innovation in this track.
