5G-DRIVE @IEEE ICC 2019 workshop: 5G-Trials – From 5G Experiments to Business Validation
2019-05-19 - 2019-05-20
5G-DRIVE organises a workshop at IEEE ICC 2019 (Shanghai, China) on May 20, 2019.
This workshop aims at providing a snapshot of the status and progress of 5G trials, and will discuss the first results and the new insights and findings from the range of ongoing 5G trials. The workshop will cover key topics related to 5G trials, including, but not limited to, the

evaluation of 5G spectrum,
evaluation of the performance of 5G NR implementations,
system architecture, e.g. separation of DU/CU, and UP/CP,
verification and performance test of 5G key enabling technologies, e.g., massive MIMO, multi-connectivity, network slicing.
5G network planning, and
network deployment optimization.

The workshop accepts not only test results from trials, but also theoretical results based on realistic deployment schemes and new 5G business models. The workshop is organised by the 5G-DRIVE project.

5G-EVE webinar: The 5G EVE End-To-End Facility For Vertical Industry Trials
2019-05-09 14:30 - 15:30 (Europe/Berlin)
In this one-hour webinar, 5G-EVE will provide a detailed overview on how the 5G EVE end-to-end facility can be used for vertical industry trials. The webinar is aimed at organisations planning to perform trials and experimentation on 5G applications and services by vertical industries. The webinar will be particularly useful for project participants from Horizon 2020 calls ICT-19 and ICT-22.
More specifically, 5G-EVE will:

review why end-to-end 5G validation platforms like the 5G EVE facility are instrumental for growing the 5G ecosystem and establishing a productive collaboration with verticals.
explain the basic 5G EVE services to be made accessible to verticals and how they are based on core 5G technologies and 5G EVE innovations utilising them.
share how our current technical collaboration model with verticals within the 5G EVE project works, and how we plan to extend it to collaborations with verticals outside of 5G EVE, including those from ICT-19 and ICT-22 projects.

More information is available here.
Participation is free of charge. Registration is required via the Registration Form by 6th May 2019.
Registered participants will receive an access link one day before the webinar.

5G-XCast and ONE 5G WS on advanced 5G radio access network features and performance @ IEEE WCNC
2019-04-15 09:00 - 2019-04-19 18:00
5G-XCast and ONE 5G are co-organising a workshop on Advanced 5G radio access network features and performance at IEEE WCNC in Marrakech, Morocco (15-19 April 2019) and call for papers.
Organized by two flagship 5GPPP European projects, this workshop will bring together the leading names in industry, academia and research institutes to discuss and debate the latest developments in this area. It offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this field to disseminate their results in all radio related aspects of 5G communications to a diverse audience. The workshop invites authors to submit original and previously un-published research papers in the following and related topics. They could cover traditional mobile broadband or any other new 5G vertical applications.
