A group of world's famous
wireless experts, scientists, technologists, executives, investors and
analysts (most from Los Altos Hill and Saratoga, Calif.) announced in Palo Alto/ Stanford, California, a
forthcoming annual worldwide summit on emerging wireless and mobile
communication technologies and business focusing on 4G mobile,
Smartphone, WiMax and
IMT-Advanced solutions within the frameworks of World Wireless
Congress (R) to be hosted on May 14 thru 16, 2008 in
Stanford/Palo Alto, the heart of San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon
Valley of United
States, with several workshops, tutorials as well as business panel
sessions on this significant next generation wireless and mobile
communication movement.
The WWC'2008 congress theme is "Wireless and Mobile Innovation for
Next Decade". This theme explores the synergism between the various
dimensions of wireless communications: The continued convergence of
broadband wireless systems and mobile cellular networks has pushed the
wireless infrastructure and architecture from the proprietary solution
to a more open platform to meet the rapidly increasing demand of open
service and mobility infrastructure. This transition has created
tremendous opportunities for higher-performance wireless circuits,
systems and networks, creating cost-effective solutions for ubiquitous
wireless communications, computation, sensing, signal processing,
consumer electronics and multimedia. However, the advent of the open-era
has blurred the traditional boundaries between the multi-dimensions of
wireless innovation: spectrum, technology, performance, devices,
circuits and system architecture. In fact, innovation in wireless
communications requires an intricate balance between advances in
frequency, process, circuit, architecture and system technology covering
primarily on radio frequency (RF), base-band, networks and applications.
The objective of this conference is
to gather the research and development papers in this field and present
an overview of the-state-of-the-art of this B3G/4G storm - globally or
locally, as well as perspectives on future development in order to
promote future research activities as well as business strategies.
Original contributions are invited on recent research and development of
B3G and 4G systems and networks such as WiMax, CDMA/TDMA/OFDM, wmATM,
Software Definable Radio, Wireless Mobile Internet, Antennas and MIMO, Wireless Application Protocols,
Wireless Security, Wireless Multimedia, Wireless Video, Wireless Access, All-IP Wireless Architecture,
Converged 3G/WLAN/WPAN, WiMax/Wi-Fi, Open Wireless Architecture, etc.
