Short intro Future 5G networks will give rise to a wide range of new services, including enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) applications, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication and Internet of Things (IoT), addressing the needs of multiple vertical markets. The large variety of demanding applications and use case scenarios have been setting highly demanding end-user requirements, such as low latency, high traffic capacity, spectral efficiency, low energy consumption for the end-to-end communication, placing tremendous load on the underlying infrastructure of the fronthaul network. On the verge of the 5G era, Fiber Wireless technologies and Integrated Photonics will play a pivotal role in supporting the service and network requirements, while the emerging converged Fiber Wireless network architectures relying on PONs and Optical Transport Networks will certainly require enhanced Medium Access Control schemes and more efficient resource allocation mechanisms, stimulating intense Research & Development efforts in this direction.

Organized by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) within the frames of the EUIMWP Cost Action and the 5G-PHOS 5G-PPP Phase II IA, the European Training aims to cover all topics of Emerging Technologies for 5G, with the main focus being on

1) Passive optical networks: architectures, Media Access Control and Resource Allocation techniques. 2) Fiber-wireless (FiWi) access networks: Challenges and opportunities

The training will be hosted at the facilities of the Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Innovation (C.I.R.I., http://kedek.auth.gr/ ) of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, which hosts the laboratory facilities of the Wireless and Photonic Systems and Networks research group (WinPhos, http://winphos.web.auth.gr/ ) and its 5G testbed infrastructure. The training will include talks from both Industry and Academia and is mainly intended for Ph.D. students and Early Carrier Investigators.

Kick-start of DAY 1 of the training school, with a lucky coincidence of what could have been a planned “Field Demonstration” !!

At the bus pick-up time from the City Center, there were Fiber Installation works at a main street – Mitropoleos – , with cleaving and splicing of deployed fibers.
