– Assignments will be submitted electronically in Blackboard.\\
– There will be 20% penalty for late problem sets. No assignment is accepted after posting the solutions.\\
– Students are allowed, even encouraged, to work on the problem sets in groups of two/three, but solutions must be written individually.\\
– The summaries must be sent at least two hours before the beginning of the class in which the paper is discussed.\\

\textbf{Paper Summaries:}

The purpose of paper summaries in this course is to introduce
the fundamental research in 5G wireless communication systems. This requires reading deeply on a wide range of topics with the following purposes: 1) To make the
students ready for the specific topic to be discussed in the class. 2) To familiarize the students with the process of writing research papers/reports in the wireless
communication field.

You are expected to carefully read the papers and submit a one-page summary describing the motivation for the work, the problem studied, key ideas/contributions,
and possible ideas to extend/improve the paper. Specifically, each summary should
answer these four questions\\
– What is the major contribution of the paper?\\
– What is the paper’s strength?\\
– What is the paper’s weakness?\\
– What would you do to extend the work?\\
Each class typically has two papers. One paper is background reading. A second
paper is the focus of the class discussion and requires a review. You should read and
be familiar with the background paper, but do not need to know all of its details.
