The first tutorial titled Cooperative Wireless Networking. This tutorial introduces cooperation concept for wireless networks. Cooperation is known as an effective strategy in nature to achieve individual or common goals by forming cooperative groups. As the crossover between nature and engineering has always been fruitful, this tutorial is introducing cooperative concepts for wireless networks advocating mobile devices to cluster in a peer-to-peer fashion. In three lectures cooperation is advocated to overcome the most critical problems in mobile communication, known as energy consumption, security, and higher data rates. The first part will introduce the main rules for cooperation. Whether to cooperate or act autonomously has to be decided by each mobile device individually. Following the rule “The real egoistic behavior is to cooperate”, mutual aid among mobile devices will be applied if and only if it is beneficial for all group members. The second part is presenting cooperation concepts at the different protocol layers from applications to the physical layer. In the last part topics such as social mobile networks, game theory and genetic programming are presented.

The second tutorial titled Next Generation Digital Video Broadcast Standard. It is an overview of the new digital video broadcasting standard DVB-T2. The new standard approved by ETSI provides high definition television over terrestrial links by deploying new error detection codes, new modulation schemes, and news transmission formats.
