Muhammad Ali Imran (M’03–SM’12) received his M.Sc. (Distinction) and Ph.D. degrees from Imperial College London, UK, in 2002 and 2007, respectively. Starting from September 2016, he is appointed as a Professor in Communication Systems in University of Glasgow, Vice Dean of Glasgow College UESTC and Program Director of Electrical and Electronics with Communications.

Muhammad Zeeshan Shakir (S'04, M'10, SM'16) is a Senior Researcher at Carleton University, Canada where he is serving as a project manager for Carleton-Industry collaborative R&D projects and leading the Teams working on SDN-driven fronthauling and Drones-based communications.

Mohamed-Slim Alouini (S'94, M'98, SM'03, F'09). He received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 1998. Then in 2009 he joined King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia as a Professor of Electrical Engineering. His current research interests include the modeling, design, and performance analysis of wireless communication systems.

The continuing growth of wireless data services driven by smart devices and mobile broadband has encouraged researchers both in academia and indus-try to look ahead at how the �fth-generation (5G) network should be. 5G networks, which is expected to be rolled out around 2020, will support a 1000 times higher data tra�c, a 10-100 fold increase in data rate and connected devices, 5 times reduced latency and 10 times longer battery life. This extensive tutorial will present next generation of emerging technologies and architectures for access and backhaul/fronthaul network design.
