Workshop on HetSNet and on the technical program committee, as well as, chaired at numerous major conferences in the area of communications engineering. He has acted as guest editor for the IEEE Communications Magazine and IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications.
Liu Jianghua received his M.S. degree in telecommunication and information systems from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in 2005, and then joined Huawei Technologies working until now. He is currently a technical expert of wireless research and leading the LTE/NR RAN research team in Huawei. Since 2005, he has been working for the research of LTE/NR, and participated in the related standardization in 3GPP. He contributed several hundred contributions and is the inventor of more than 100 patents. His main research areas include MIMO, CA, channel modeling, Multi-user superposition transmission, flexible duplex, IoT, etc. From 2014 to 2017, he led the project of research and standardization of 4.5G in Huawei, and actively participate the promotion of 4.5G industrialization.
Wu Yong received his PhD degree in 2008 from the department of electrical engineering of Tsinghua University. Then he joined Huawei and participated in the 4G self evaluation. He is now the chair of SIG-EVAL of CJK (China-Japan-Korea) IMT working group, and the chair of SWG Circular of ITU-R WP 5D. He also served as the 3GPP Rapporteur for the study on self-evaluation towards IMT-2020 submission. He was deeply involved in 5G (IMT-2020) vision development, and 5G evaluation criteria development. He also played a key role in collaborating industry for 3GPP's 5G evaluation and submission.
Brian Classon graduated from the University of Maryland at College Park and the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and has focused on communications engineering throughout his career. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and a senior expert for standards at Huawei. He worked 13 years with Motorola Labs, researching topics such as channel coding, AMC/HARQ, frame structure, control channels, reference signals, URLLC, and bandwidth-reduced low-complexity devices. After serving as the Motorola Labs global lead for LTE in RAN1, Brian took the role as Huawei RAN1 head of delegation and chief delegate. He has been with Huawei since 2008, directing the submission of many thousands of contributions and accumulating millions of flight miles in that time. Since 2011, Huawei has been the top contributor for submitted and agreed contributions in RAN1. Over his career, Brian has impacted many commercial systems (EDGE, 1xEV-DO/DV, WiMAX, HSPA, LTE, NR) through innovative research, with more than 175 US patents, and academic publication, as well as active attendance and participation in industry standards (3GPP2, 802.16, and 3GPP). Brian contributed to the initial HSPA proposal in 2000, and has attended RAN1 continuously since the start of LTE. He has chaired sessions in RAN1 on multiple topics, including completing the initial release of NB-IoT in April 2016. Brian is the current editor for the LTE core specification 3GPP TS 36.212 and the recipient of the 2014 3GPP excellence award.
Weimin Xiao graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Wuhan, China), Tsinghua University (Beijing, China), and Northwestern University (Evanston, IL). Before joining Huawei in 2009, he worked for Motorola developing technologies and standards of EV-DV, HSPA, and LTE. He currently leads the US radio access research and standards team focusing on technologies for massive MIMO, dense networks, advanced carrier design and resource optimization, high frequency communications, and connect cars, and their standardization in 5G and beyond. He is an experienced 3GPP delegate in LTE and NR standardization work and is the main inventor of uplink power control design. He received the IEEE Communication Society & Information Theory Society Joint Paper Award in 2002. He has more than 100 patents for power control, MIMO and feedback, cooperative communications, interference control, radio resource optimization, and other areas.
