I am extremely pleased to have the honor of welcoming you to VTC2018-Fall, and to its host city, the great city of Chicago.
Beyond the slate of outstanding tutorials, workshops, and technical sessions, VTC2018-Fall will feature world-class keynote speakers, exciting plenary panels, and a three-day Industry Program.
Marty Cooper, Honorary Conference Chair, a native Chicagoan, and among other contributions, the “Father of the Cellphone” will provide our lead-off keynote. The four-day program features Tutorials, Workshops and a mini-Conference on Monday.
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from some of the world’s most distinguished industry leaders and researchers. This includes Dr. Ayline Yener who will be our featured speaker at our Women in Engineering lunch on Tuesday.
Chicago is one of the truly great world destination cities. It boasts world renowned museums, parks, zoos, botanical gardens, architectural tours, and many other exciting venues. The city has one of the most diverse business communities in the world, and is home to numerous innovations including the zipper, TV remote control, meat packing, deep dish pizza, the Ferris Wheel, skyscrapers and modern “Glass and Steel” architecture, nuclear energy, and of course two-way radios and the cellphone. Greater Chicago has a vibrant academic environment with nearly 100 colleges and universities.
I’d like to thank all members of the Organizing Committee and Technical Program Committee and their leaders for the outstanding work they have done. I am amazed by the dedication and diligence of the hundreds of experts in our research community who have devoted their time to paper review process. Finally I would like to recognize the excellence in research and preparation shown by the many authors who submitted their works for consideration and especially those involved with the nearly 500 papers that will be presented.
I hope our delegates will benefit from the conference program, develop many new and beneficial relationships and finally have a truly memorable time in Chicago!

It is with pleasure that we welcome you to IEEE VTC2018-Fall—the 88th edition of VTC. This Chicago edition of the conference has proven to be extremely popular, including around 500 papers covering a wide range of topics brought forward by the leading industrial, academic, and governmental innovators, thinkers, and pioneers.
VTC has a long-established history of bringing together the scopes of vehicular technology and mobile/cellular/wireless communications, thereby also covering the intersection of these topics through vehicular communications. Indeed, it is through vehicular technology and particularly the readily-available power source therein that the earliest mobile/cellular telephony in the form of “car phones” was possible.
It is therefore fitting that we have with us a true pioneer and innovator, the “Father of the Cell Phone” Marty Cooper. Marty has to his name “Cooper’s Law”, the wireless communications equivalent of Moore’s Law. Such a profound projection is in line with Marty’s truly visionary achievement of inventing and leading the development of the first ever personal mobile/cellular phone. It is through such an atmosphere of forward-thinking that this conference aims to inspire the latest generation of dedicated and skilled engineers, scientists and leaders that will maintain the record of unparalleled human, societal and economic development that wireless communications and vehicular technology have had.
Putting together such a conference is a significant undertaking, involving a large team of dedicated individuals. With this in mind, we would like to thank the Technical Program Committee, and particularly the Track Chairs, who have contributed vast time and effort towards making the conference a success. We would also like to thank the VTC conference administrative team for their excellent behind-the-scenes work, without which there would be no VTC. Finally, we would like to thank the leadership of the conference for their exceptional work.
