On System-Level Analysis and Design of 5G Mobile/Wireless Networks: The Magic of Stochastic Geometry
Tue, 10/02/2015 - 11:00 to 12:00
Location:
Speaker:
Dr. Marco Di Renzo
Affiliation:
CNRS/Royal of Academy of Engineering
Synopsis:
The fifth-generation (5G) is coming. Quo vadis 5G? What architectures, network topologies and technologies will define 5G? Are methodologies to the analysis, design and optimization of current wireless networks still applicable to 5G? This speech will introduce the attendees to Stochastic Geometry, an advanced mathematical tool to the analysis of emerging 5G wireless network architectures (e.g., ultra-dense multi-tier heterogeneous cellular networks). The fundamentals of Stochastic Geometry will be introduced and its usefulness to the analysis and design of 5G wireless networks will be discussed. Recent results in this field of research will be illustrated, along with the application of this tool to emerging 5G scenarios and technologies, which include millimeter wave and wireless powered communications. The research outcomes described in this talk have been developed within the activities of the Royal Academy of Engineering Distinguished Visiting Fellowship titled “Modeling, Analysis and Design of 5G Self-Powered Heterogeneous Wireless Networks – A Stochastic Geometry Approach”.
Biography:
Marco Di Renzo (S’05–AM’07–M’09–SM’14) was born in L’Aquila, Italy, in 1978. He received the Laurea (cum laude) and the Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Information Engineering from the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, University of L’Aquila, Italy, in April 2003 and in January 2007, respectively. In October 2013, he received the Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) from the University of Paris-Sud XI, Paris, France.
Since January 2010, he has been a Tenured Academic Researcher (“Chargé de Recherche Titulaire”) with the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), as well as a faculty member of the Laboratory of Signals and Systems (L2S), a joint research laboratory of the CNRS, the Ecole Supérieure d’Electricité (SUPELEC) and the University of Paris-Sud XI, Paris, France. His main research interests are in the field of wireless communications theory. He is a Principal Investigator of six European-funded research projects (Marie Curie ITN-GREENET, Marie Curie IAPP-WSN4QoL, Marie Curie ITNCROSSFIRE, Marie Curie IAPP-SmartNRG, Marie Curie ITN-5Gwireless and Marie Curie RISE-CASPER). He is a co-founder of the university spinoff company WEST Aquila s.r.l..
From August 2002 to January 2008, he was with the Center of Excellence for Research DEWS, University of L’Aquila, Italy. In the fall of 2006, he was a Visiting Scholar in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Virginia Tech, USA. From February 2008 to April 2009, he was a tenured Research Associate with the Telecommunications Technological Center of Catalonia (CTTC), Spain. From May 2009 to December 2009, he was an EPSRC Research Fellow with the Institute for Digital Communications (IDCOM), The University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
Dr. Di Renzo is the recipient of a special mention for the outstanding five-year (1997-2003) academic career, University of L’Aquila, Italy; the THALES Communications fellowship (2003-2006), University of L’Aquila, Italy; the 2004 Best Spin-Off Company Award, Abruzzo Province, Italy; the 2008 Torres Quevedo Award, Ministry of Science and Innovation, Spain; the “Dérogation pour l’Encadrement de Thèse” (2010), University of Paris-Sud XI, France; the 2012 IEEE CAMAD Best Paper Award; the 2012 IEEE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LETTERS Exemplary Reviewer Certificate; the 2013 IEEE VTC-Fall Best Student Paper Award; the 2013 Network of Excellence NEWCOM# Best Paper Award; the 2013 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON VEHICULAR TECHNOLOGY Top Reviewer Award; the 2013 IEEE-COMSOC Best Young Researcher Award for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA Region); the 2014 Royal Academy of Engineering Distinguished Visiting Fellowship, United Kingdom; the 2014 IEEE ATC Best Paper Award; the 2014 IEEE CAMAD Best Demo Award; and the 2014 IEEE CAMAD Best Paper Award. Currently, he serves as an Editor of the IEEE COMMUNICATIONS LETTERS and of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS (Heterogeneous Networks Modeling and Analysis). He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and COMSOC, a Member of the European Association for Communications and Networking (EURACON), and a Member of Faculty Row - America’s Top Professors.
