Mobile communications has created a major breakthrough in new telecom
services worldwide during the last decade. It is expected that the number
of global mobile connections exceed the number of fixed connections in the
next five-year period. At the same time, the new IMT2000 compatible Third
Generation (3G) broadband networks and services will be available. The
data service breakthrough enabled by Internet will create new
possibilities for mobile and wireless services. A lot of research is also
targeted to wireless Internet services and IP-mobility.
The PWC'2002 conference will be a forum for tutorials, discussions and
presentations of the new developments in mobile and wireless research. The
conference is planned with one day for tutorials and two days for
presentations. The following areas are included in the scope of the
conference:
- Wireless Access networks
- Wireless LANs
- Cellular networks
- Digital microwave systems and networks
- Digital radio and TV broadcasting
- Satellite networks
- Short range communications and applications
- Mobile personal communications
- Issues for Wireless Multimedia Networking
- Radio Access Techniques for Broadband Mobile Communications
- Technologies, Services and Applications
- Design Issues and Performance Evaluation
- Economic Issues
The topics can be examined from the viewpoint of architecture and
protocols, modulation, coding and decoding, methods of communication
functions (multiple access, error control, flow control, routing, etc.),
security, implementation, user aspects, legal, economic, social, and human
related issues.
The Personal Wireless Communications PWC'2002 conference belongs to an
IFIP workshop and conference series arranged by IFIP TC-6 Working Group
