It is my honor to welcome you to IEEE VTC2019-Spring, held in the vibrant city of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. This is the first time a major IEEE VTS event is being held in Malaysia, and no doubt, this will significantly contribute to further strengthen and develop IEEE membership and activities in the country and South-East Asia in general.
The conference venue, JW Marriot Kuala Lumpur, is ideally located at the heart of the famous Golden Triangle district, just across the road to The Pavilion—one of the many mega shopping complexes dotted around the city. It is in this pleasant environment that IEEE VTC2019-Spring Kuala Lumpur will bring together researchers, developers, practitioners, and business executives from all over the world to congregate. We hope you will take this opportunity to discover Malaysia and its rich culture.
Behind such a grand event, there is always a band of people who toil to make it happen; we thank those who have contributed tirelessly. The commitment of the Organizing Committee truly was inspirational. Special recognition is due to the Honorary Chair, Datuk Hod Parman; TPC Co-Chairs Tomoaki Ohtsuki and Hafizal Mohamad; and the rest of the member of the organizing committee who have contributed admirably to the preparation of this conference.
Last but not least, special thanks are due to our supporters and patrons for their strong and keen support. We wish all the participants a very enjoyable stay in Kuala Lumpur. We believe that this conference will be one of your most fruitful and memorable experience of your life from both professional and personal perspectives.

Our committee has organized exciting programs for IEEE VTC2019-Spring focusing on the latest research developments in wireless systems and networks, autonomous and connected vehicles, intelligent transportation, and promising new emerging topics.
The technical program consists of 60 oral sessions. The technical program committee has selected 291 outstanding papers for the oral sessions. Each paper has been reviewed by at least 3 independent reviewers. All papers presented will be published in the conference proceedings and in IEEE Xplore. In addition to the oral sessions, the conference hosts workshops, tutorials, industry panel sessions, and keynotes addressing some of the most challenging and thought-provoking aspects of wireless communications and vehicular technology. The creation of this impressive program would not be possible without the voluntary support from an outstanding team of colleagues that we thank sincerely.
Special thanks go to the conference track chairs who have organized a very efficient and smooth review and session organization process, as well as the workshop, panel and tutorial chairs that have organized very informative sessions. We also thank all the TPC members and reviewers for their professional and timely review of technical contributions. Of course, making a successful technical conference would not have been possible without the participation from authors, to whom we express our gratitude for presenting and sharing their ideas and contributions with our community.
We would also like to thank all members of the IEEE VTC2019-Spring organization committee for their support during all phases of the technical program development.
