This talk is dedicated to the theory and applications of a more general and powerful transmission framework based on Rate-Splitting (RS) that consists in decoding part of the interference and in treating the remaining part of the interference as noise. This enables RS to softly bridge and therefore reconcile the two extreme strategies of fully decode interference and treat interference as noise. As a consequence, RS provides room for spectral efficiency, energy efficiency and QoS enhancements in a wide range of network loads and user deployments, robustness against imperfect Channel State Information at the Transmitter (CSIT), as well as feedback overhead and complexity reduction.Sunday, December 9 10:00 - 10:30Networking BreakSunday, December 9 10:30 - 11:00Keynote 2: Room: Conference Hall A: Part BMachine Learning for Wireless Communications, Dr Walid Saad, Virginia Tech University, USASunday, December 9 11:00 - 12:00S2: Technical Papers II, Room: Conference Hall A: Part BA Low-Latency and Massive-Connectivity Vehicular Fog Computing Framework for 5G, Chen Xu and Yahui Wang (North China Electric Power University, P.R.

Different physical layer and medium access control layer performance metrics are introduced to describe the quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE). This comprises effective capacity, energy efficiency, average and instantaneous packet loss tolerances as well as combinations thereof. In this keynote, we will outline a framework to model and optimize scheduling, resource allocation, power control, and precoding to guarantee QoS and QoE requirements in multi-device communication scenarios. We discuss multiuser scheduling schemes over fading channels for loss-tolerant applications as well as effective energy efficiency optimization with wireless power transfer and with non-orthogonal transmissions. The fundamental tradeoff between harvested power and the performance in terms of effective capacity and effective energy efficiency as well as the tradeoff between energy efficiency and QoE are illustrated by various numerical assessments.Sunday, December 9 4:00 - 5:30S4: Interactive sessions Room: Hall 4Jamming Attack Analysis of Wireless Power Transfer on LoRaWAN Join Procedure, Syed Muhammad Danish (National University of Science & Technology, Pakistan); Hassaan Khaliq Qureshi (National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan); Sobia Jangsher (Institute of Space Technology, Pakistan)Wireless Mediation for Multi-Hop Networks in Time Critical Industrial Applications, Syed Fahad Hassan (National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan); Aamir Mahmood (Mid Sweden University, Sweden); Syed Ali Hassan (National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan); Mikael Gidlund (Mid Sweden University, Sweden)DLopC: Data Locality Independency-aware VM Clustering in Cloud Computing, Vipul Moudgil (Thapar University, Patiala (Punjab), India); Gagangeet Singh Aujla (Chandigarh University, Mohali (Punjab), India); Mohammad S.
