Workshop on Spatial Stochastic Models for Wireless Networks (SpaSWiN), Paris, France, 19th May, 2017

Call for Papers
(Click here for a PDF version of the Call for Papers.)
The performance of wireless networks depends critically on the spatial configuration of the transmitter and receiver nodes. As a result, the modeling of such networks requires methods and tools from point process theory, stochastic geometry and random graph theory. The art of modeling wireless networks is strongly multi-disciplinary, combining these spatial, stochastic tools with information and communication theory, networking theory, combinatorics, and game theory. SpaSWiN is historically the first workshop specifically devoted to the use of spatial stochastic models for improved design of wireless networks. Building on the success of the 11 previous venues of the workshop, the goal of SpaSWiN 2017 is to bring together researchers from the various disciplines involved in spatial models of wireless communications. Please join us at Télécom ParisTech in the heart of Paris on May 19, 2017.

How Typical is “Typical”? Characterizing Deviations using the Meta Distribution
The slides to the talk are available here.
Abstract
Most stochastic geometry-based analyses of wireless networks focus on spatial (or ensemble) averages, such as the success probability or rate of the typical link. However, in a realization of the point process describing the network, no link is typical. In most networks, it is desirable that the per-link performances are concentrated around their mean (the performance of the typical link). Hence an important question is whether the performances of most links are close to that of the typical link or whether there is a wide disparity. We present a mathematical framework based on the so-called meta distribution that permits an analysis of the per-link performance distribution, rather than just its average. The framework is applied to Poisson bipolar and cellular networks (with and without power control), and D2D communications. We show how the deviations from the typical link performance can be minimized. Lastly, we introduce and analyze the spatial outage capacity, which is the maximum density of links in a network that satisfy an outage constraint.

Freimann Professor of Electrical Engineering and a Concurrent Professor of Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA. He received the Dipl.Ing. (M.Sc.) and Dr.sc.techn. (Ph.D.) degrees in electrical engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) in 1995 and 1999, respectively. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications. He has served on the editorial boards of 6 other journals and as a Distinguished Lecturer and Speaker for the IEEE Circuits and Systems and Communications Societies. He authored the monograph “Interference in Large Wireless Networks” (NOW Publishers, 2009), the textbook “Stochastic Geometry for Wireless Networks” (Cambridge, 2012), and published 14 single-author journal articles. He received the ETH Medal for both his M.Sc. and Ph.D. theses, the CAREER award from the U.S. National Science Foundation in 2005, and the 2010 IEEE Communications Society Best Tutorial Paper award.
