Current radio-access networks (RANs) are designed withÌýthe aim of maximizing data-stream throughput for a fewÌýactive users. The next generation RANs will need to serviceÌýmassive numbers of infrequently communicating sensorsÌý(machine-type communication, MTC, or Internet-of-Things).ÌýMost present systems employ centralized resourceÌýallocation, orthogonalizing the access but incurring largeÌýcontrol-layer overhead. Presently, there is a strong demandÌýfor a new solution in both the unlicensed spectrum [lowpowerÌýwide-area networks (LP-WANs)] and the licensedÌýspectrum (5G). This workshop is dedicated to exploringÌýthe state-of-the-art in research on this topic.
