Description
The third volume of the influential WWRF Book of Visions ofresearch and trends in mobile communications has been fullyupdated. It includes three new chapters on flexible spectrum use,ultra-broadband convergent home-area networks, and the systemconcept. Visions from manufacturers, network operators,research institutes and academia from all over world are capturedby the WWRF in one comprehensive single point of reference.
Technologies for the Wireless Future, Volume 3 describesthe expectations and requirements of a user in the 'futurewireless world' between 2010 and 2017. This will enablereaders to prioritise research topics based on the provision ofcost-effective solutions. This book is ideal for researchers fromboth academia and industry, as well as engineers, managers,strategists, and regulators.
WWRF has become highly influential on the future of wirelesscommunication. You can see the evidence already, as many ofthe concepts described in the very first Book of Vision have beenadopted in today's wireless implementations. The organizationbrings together the long-range views of academia with the practicalconstraints and requirements of industry. This is a powerfulcombination.
Mark Pecen, Vice President, Research In Motion Limited
The WWRF Book of Vision series of books are an invaluablesource of information for key thoughts and technology developmentsin wireless and mobile communication. The comprehensiveness anddiversified nature of its research reports and results can prove tobe a very useful tool in planning and developing the nextgeneration network and services.
Bill Huang, General Manager, China Mobile Research
As mobile broadband becomes part of our daily lives, in thesame way that mobile telephony has done, and helps us to supportimportant issues such as health care, education and many otherpriorities, WWRF is again exploring the options for mobile andwireless systems in its' third edition of the Book of Visions.Earlier versions have helped to reach global consensus on researchobjectives, reduce investment risk and generate critical mass inresearch efforts. The third book of visions provides key insightsinto the international academic and commercial discussion ontomorrows' hot topics in mobile research!
