Emerging Wireless Networks and Services
(Forum Organizer and Chair: Dr. Dilip Krishnaswamy, Qualcomm, USA)


ABSTRACT
These are exciting times in the evolution of wireless networks and services. Wireless Wide Area Networking Standards have matured with standards such as UMTS, HSPA, CDMA2000, LTE, and WiMAX all maturing. LTE-Release10 requirements are being designed to meet IMT-Advanced requirements to meet the wireless capacity needed for emerging wireless data services. Whitespace networking can provide additional capacity over unlicensed spectrum based on a recent FCC ruling over TV-whitespaces. As these technologies mature, they are enabling a wide range of new services to be explored and delivered providing user experience at a level that has not been experienced before. Wireless Cloud Computing can enable distributed services and computing over the heterogeneously networked wireless cloud. Opportunistic data services can be delivered to users based on pricing, and location and time, and across networks. Machine2Machine-based technologies are being developed to address green energy in the power-grid, wireless health care, home automation and monitoring, telematics, and industrial applications. Various Peer2Peer applications for dynamic interactivity between users are growing in demand. This session will address the exciting new technology wave that is underway with regard to wireless services that can be provided with the availability of these emerging wireless access technologies. It will address the technology constraints, scaling constraints, network economic constraints, while putting these available new wireless services in perspective with respect to the available wireless technologies.
