     Summary:                                                                   
                             
                                                                                
                             
        The exponential increase of mobile traffic due to the widespread use of
    smart devices, further combined with the complexity of future wireless infr
    astructures in supporting more diverse applications and distributed radio
    resources, directly necessitates the current intensive research efforts on
    the 5G wireless networks worldwide. In supporting the anticipated 1,000 
times
    increase of the network capacity, advanced air interface techniques are
    essential for 5G in enabling new spatial transmission schemes with extremely
    high utilization rates of distributed radio resources, tight collaboration
    between heterogeneous networks, and extremely energy efficient 5G network
    operation.

    The objective of the tutorial is to analyze the key technical aspects of 5G,
    identify the essential physical layer enabling technologies, and present the
    emerging research opportunities on 5G. Our target audience encompasses 5G
    researchers from academia, industry, government agencies and standard
    development bodies. We aim to bridge all stakeholders related to 5G and
    accelerate the ongoing R$\&$D efforts and standardization processes 
worldwide. 

    The tutorial will have the following three parts.

    1. The first part of the tutorial will start with an overview of 5G, with a
       focus on the technical analysis of 5G. Specific considerations of 5G
       communications will be discussed, including channel characteristics,
       downlink-uplink reciprocity and multi-tier architecture.

    2. In Part II of the tutorial, key physical layer techniques for 5G will be
       presented. These include the essential technologies such as distributed
       antenna systems (DAS), massive MIMO, millimeter wave (mmWave) and
       smallcell networks (HetNet), new waveform and training sequence designs,
       and channel estimation.

    3. Emerging 5G research opportunities and challenges will be discussed in
       Part III. Topics in this part cover both theoretical and practical
       aspects, including channel modeling, estimation, predication, system
       optimization, hardware distortion impact, and interference coordination
       and minimization.
