As is now the tradition in each edition of VTC, conference paper awards were given out during the VTS awards luncheon. Authors were recognized in two categories: best overall paper and best student paper.
The best student paper award was given to Resource Allocation for Wireless Information and Energy Transfer in Macrocell-Small Cell Networks¸ whose primary student author is Sudha Lohani (University of British Columbia, Canada), with co-authors and VTS Distinguished Lecturers Ekram Hossain and Vijay K. Bhargava. This paper studies joint resource allocation for wireless information and energy transfer in small cells overlaid by macrocells. It proposes a framework that aims at maximizing both the energy harvesting and the achievable throughput of small cell users while ensuring the minimum throughput requirement of macrocell users. The award was accepted by Vijay Bhargava on behalf of Sudha Lohani.
The best overall paper award for the conference recognized the work of He Li, Kaoru Ota and Mianxiong Dong (Muroran Institute of Technology, Japan) in Network Virtualization Optimization in Software Defined Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks. The paper proposes architectures to enable network virtualization in the context of vehicular ad-hoc networks, and in particular proposes a non-cooperative gaming framework for fair assignment of resources in order to preserve at the same time user privacy and Quality of Service. Both He Li and Kaoru Ota received the award from VTS VP-Conferences J.R. Cruz.
