Tutorials
Tutorial 1:
Short-packet communications – fundamentals and practical coding schemes Download slides
by Giuseppe Durisi (Chalmers) and Fabian Steiner (TU Munich)
Abstract:
The design of block codes for short information blocks (e.g., a thousand or less information bits) is an open research problem that is gaining increasing relevance because of emerging applications in the area of lowlatency wireless communication. In this tutorial, we shall review the fundamental tradeoff between throughput and reliability when transmitting short packets, using recently-developed tools in finite-blocklength information theory. We will then describe the state-of-the-art code constructions (involving binary/nonbinary LDPC and turbo codes, polar codes, and tailbiting convolutional codes) for the short-block regime, and compare their performance with nonasymptotic information-theoretic limits.
Specifically, we will illustrate how to achieve performance close to the theoretical bounds with different performance vs. decoding complexity trade-offs. A special emphasis will be given to the LDPC and polar code solutions selected within 3GPP for eMBB data and control channel signaling.

Tutorial 3:
Part I: 5G NR positioning by Basuki Priyanto (Sony)
Part II: low power MTC/NR by Nafiseh Mazloum (Sony)
Abstract Part I:
We will present an overview of positioning in 5G NR. NR positioning poses many challenges than the predecessor (e.g. LTE). It includes the need to be operated in both FR1 and FR2, supporting many deployment scenarios (outdoor, indoor, etc), and to support both regulatory and demanding commercial positioning requirements. First, the potential NR positioning use-cases and its requirements will be presented. NR radio access has many new features, such as wider bandwidth, and beam management operation. In addition, some potential NR positioning techniques have been identified. We will present the details of those techniques and also how to utilize NR new features to improve positioning accuracy.
Abstract Part II:
To support IoT applications through cellular connectivity, several enhancements have been introduced to LTE, by adding new features to reduce the device cost and complexity, and also enabling connectivity for large number of devices covering all types of communication between machines. In this presentation, we will give an overview of massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) features. Energy efficiency is one of the key requirement for mMTC/IoT devices. We discuss in more detail power savings schemes for mMTC and potential future NR IoT devices which allow low power operation.

Tutorial 4:
NR Physical Layer Download slides NR-PHY / Download slides NR-MIMO
by Robert Baldemair and Claes Tidestav (Ericsson)
Abstract:
In this presentation we will give an overview over the NR physical layer. Compared to earlier mobile communication standards, NR has a much wider operating range stretching from sub-1 GHz to several 10 GHz, operates over much wider bandwidth, provides lower latencies, and has a very lean design enabling energy efficient operation. We will present NR design choices such as frame structure, modulation and numerology, control channels, reference signals, coding, and multi-antennas techniques enabling these extended operating characteristic. Operations in mmW bands require high-gain beamforming and as a consequence communication will often be beam-based, beam management becomes therefore an essential part of NR mmW operations. Fundamentals on NR beam management will discussed.

About the City of Lund
As one of the oldest cities in Sweden dating back to 990, Lund is a city of contrasts where 1,000 years of history blend with modern knowledge and ideas. In Lund, you find the charm of a small picturesque, cobble-stoned city, side-by side with big city attractions such as services, shopping, restaurants and cultural events.
Lund Cathedral, dating from 1145, is one of the most popular attractions in the Skåne region and marks the centre of the city. It is easy to get around in the city and most people use bicycles for their daily transportation. In addition, there is a comprehensive public transportation system including buses and trains to transport you in and around Lund and the region. The Lund train station is the hub that connects Lund to Malmö and to other destinations in the region, as well as to the rest of Sweden and the international airport in Copenhagen.
Travel and Accommodation
It is easy to get to Lund from all around the world. There are connections from two nearby airports and you can get to Lund easily by train whether you arrive domestic or come from Denmark. If you are driving, Lund is connected to both the E6 and the E22.
The LTH campus in Lund is in the northern part of Lund and is 20 minutes walking distance from the Lund central station.
By train
It takes about 15 minutes from Malmö to Lund via commuter train, the Öresund train. From Copenhagen Central Station the journey is no more than an hour.
For more information see Skånetrafiken and SJ.
By bus
From the train station, Lund Central, you can get to LTH via the Lund link, which is served by a couple of different bus lines and runs from Lund C/Clemenstorget via the University Hospital to Kårhuset (LTH). During daytime on weekdays, the Lund link has around four departures per hour.
The county buses stop at bus stops on Tornavägen, Sölvegatan and John Ericsson väg, for example bus 171 stops. For more information see Skånetrafiken and SJ.
Flying
The largest international airport in our vicinity is Kastrup in Denmark (CPH). The distance between Kastrup and Lund is about 50 minutes by train.
To Malmo Airport (MMX) it takes approximately 40 minutes by airport bus from Lund Central Station.
For more information see Københavns Lufthavne and Malmö Airport.
