User Grouping and Load Balancing for FDD Massive

Dear MMTC colleagues: November is always a special month! It is the month that reminds us that we are approaching the end of the year, fall season with its colorful trees and cold breeze, and that a GLOBECOM conference is coming soon! If you plan to attend this year conference in Austin, then I hope to meet you there! It is a great honor to continue to be part of the IEEE ComSoc MMTC team. As the elected North America Vice-Chair for 2014-2016, I am excited to get the chance to work with MMTC leadership team to continue our mission of providing great value to our colleagues, from both academia and industry, focusing on multimedia communication technologies. In the September issue of the E-Letter, my colleague Liang Zhou, the Asia Vice-Chair of MMTC has emphasized the importance of the Interest Groups (IGs) as the catalyst for the success of our technical committee to effectively reaching out to the community of multimedia communication researchers and engineers. One of my main goals in the coming months is to focus on increasing the level of participation of colleagues from industry in all activities of MMTC, with emphasis on North America. This includes submitting papers to E-Letter and other ComSoc conferences/publications, sponsorship of events, and sharing industry experience on developing innovative multimedia communication products. This effort will be coordinated with the IGs chairs and the MMTC leadership team. We always welcome your feedback on how we can improve the operation of MMTC. Your active participation will strengthen the reach and impact of the technical committee.
