  • - Energy-harvesting aware protocols in 5G relaying networks
  • - Distributed Radio Resource Management and Scheduling
  • - Relay selection and maintenance under mobility
  • - Recent advances in 3GPP Release-12 standardization related to network relaying
  • - Device-initiated versus infrastructure-coordinated link establishment
  • - Distributed Cognitive and Cooperative Radio
  • - Mobility, traffic and channel models for relaying in cellular networks
  • - Distributed Forward Error Correction algorithms
  • - Inter-Radio Access Technologies interfacing in 5G
  • - MAC mechanisms and algorithms for distributed relaying in cellular networks
  • - Security, confidentiality and reliability of information
  • - Routing protocols in 5G relaying networks
  • - Load Balancing with and without infrastructure
  • - Relay networking for public safety communications
