A group of world's most famous wireless experts, scientists, technologists
and executives announced in Palo Alto, California,  a forthcoming
International summit on Beyond Third Generation Wireless (B3G) and 4G Mobile
technologies within the frameworks of World Wireless Congress to be held on
May 24 thru 27, 2005 in San Francisco (Silicon Valley) of United States,
with numerous workshops, tutorials as well as business panel forums on this
significant next generation wireless storm.

There has been tremendous interest recently in the convergence of mobile
wireless and local wireless access systems and networks. B3G and 4G have
been the very hot subject of much research and many standardization
activities throughout the world. Many B3G/4G related technical committees
are taking the initiative to produce enhanced proposals of radio
transmission technologies, wireless applications protocols, All-IP wireless
network architectures, super signal processing and advanced system
prototypes for B3Gwireless and 4Gmobile. 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 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. The topics of
interest within the scope of this conference include (but are not limited
to) the following:

    * Open Wireless Architecture (OWA)
