Track: 4G Wireless Evolution -- TUTORIALS: How Wireless Evolves (4G2)
|
The IEEE’s Wireless Ethernet Keeps Going and Growing
(4G2-01)
Monday - 02/02/09, 1:00-2:00pm
The 802. Specifications have become part of our daily life but often do not get credit for their ability to deliver product that is both interoperable and service independent. This session will look at both WiFi and WiMAX as potential evolution technologies and will examine the history of spectrum licensing and the impact of “old” design issues on the 4G network of the future.

4G Tutorial Part 2: Viva La Difference?
(4G2-02)
Monday - 02/02/09, 2:00-2:45pm
The migration to LTE and WiMAX may not be an “either / or” discussion, but a story of blending. Service Providers must be ready to adopt an approach that will support the speeds and data throughput requirements that wireless customers will expect. This session will look at the real differences in these technologies and show how both carriers and consumers will adopt them. The session will examine the alternative technologies as well the migration issues that service providers must take into consideration when transitioning to a WiMAX or LTE platform. The session will also discuss how these two technologies will co-exist.
• Are the speeds of WiMAX going to differentiate applications?
• Will 4G applications require more throughput?
• When will Interoperability be achieved for WiMAX?
• How will legal and commercials issues impact this evolution?

4G Tutorial Part 3: Mobile Broadband- New Applications and New Business Models
(4G2-03)
Monday - 02/02/09, 3:00-3:45pm
Whether it's LTE or WiMAX or local WISPs using combinations of Wi-Fi, WiMAX and whatever other stuff they can get, we are on the verge of having affordable mobile broadband in the US (it's already available in Scandinavia and becoming available elsewhere in the EU). What services can be provided over the top and what services need and/or benefit from operator capabilities (QoS, security, ...)? The iPhone store, Android store and similar initiatives suggest power is shifting away from the operators. How can operators leverage their core capabilities (QoS, security, billing, customer relationships, call detail, ...) to remain relevant?

Tutorial: White Spaces and Beyond
(4G2-04)
Monday - 02/02/09, 4:00-5:00pm
This session will provide an overview of the new FCC regulations and the existing standards related to the use of VHF/UHF spectrum and related technologies. The following topics will be covered:
• The physics of propagation and its impact on the range of White Spaces services vs. WiMAX and LTE
• The changing nature of regulations given that today's fixed spectrum regime (Radio Act of 1927/ Comm Act of 1934) is based on 80 year-old technology
• Overview of “Open Spectrum” including 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz carved out for license exempt sharing; “secondary use” includin UWB, 3650 MHz and now TV White Spaces
• Prospects for expanding secondary use beyond TV white space
