Welcome to WWRF’s website! Here you can find background information on the Forum, major outputs such as our white papers, details of future meetings, and a guide to joining the Forum. Non-members can contribute to, and participate in, our meetings. Members have (via password) access to the latest documentation from the working groups and Forum meetings, and benefit from reduced attendance fees at the meetings.
We are developing a common global vision for the future of wireless to drive research and standardization. In addition to influencing regional and national research programmes (such as the European Union’s FP7 programme), WWRF members contribute to the work done within the ITU, UMTS Forum, ETSI, 3GPP, 3GPP2, IETF, and other relevant bodies regarding commercial and standardisation issues derived from the research work.
The Forum is unique in bringing together industry and academia from across the globe, with a strong focus on emerging economies. Members discuss how new insights will affect network implementation, services, applications and value chains in the future. It provides a unique networking opportunity, and I strongly urge you to become a part of it, by attending our meetings, contributing to the work on the working groups, and by joining the Forum.
Your feedback is always welcome, as we strive to provide the best possible service to our members and the wider research community.
Tuesday 4th Sept 2012, Québec City
In Conjunction with
VTC 2012 – Fall Meeting
With the rapid proliferation of advanced wireless communication technologies and services, wireless communications are now facing many emerging challenges, including prominently spectrum demand and network capacity limitations. There has been dramatic growth of subscriber base, and increasing dependence of world economy and society on wireless communications.
The challenge of this workshop is to identify the key technologies and enablers that will help to form the Wireless World in the era beyond 2020.
The workshop is sponsored by the Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF). WWRF’s goal is to encourage global research that will achieve unbounded communications to address key societal challenges for the future. The term “Wireless World” is used in a broad sense to address the support of innovation and business, social inclusion and infrastructural challenges. This will be achieved by creating a range of new technological capabilities from wide-area networks to short-range communications, machine-to-machine communications, sensor networks, wireless broadband access technologies and optical networking, along with increasing intelligence and virtualization in networks. This will support a dependable future Internet of people, knowledge and things and the development of a service universe.
Areas of interest that will be discussed will include, but are not limited to:
WWRF is sponsoring two workshops on the theme "Wireless World 2020"
The first one in Québec, Canada on Tuesday 4th of Sept 2012. This workshop is part of VTC’2012 Fall. More information here
The second workshop will be held as part of the 29th WWRF Meeting in Berlin, on the 24th of October. More information and the call for papers here
WWRF will be a technical sponsor of the 4th NGMN Industry Conference and Exhibition 2012 in San Francisco, USA! On 13-15 June, the event will take place at City View / Yerba Buena Gardens directly in the heart of San Francisco. www.ngmn.org /ice2012
Wireless Future Internet is supported as WWRF’s big theme for 2012. Read a short statement of WWRF here.
WWRF Meeting 29 will be held in Berlin, Germany
23-25 October 2012.
Kindly hosted by Nokia Siemens Networks
Theme of the Meeting: The Future of the Wireless Internet - Communication in the 2020s
WWRF Meeting 30 will be held in Oulu, Finland, 23-25 April 2013.
Covering the fast evolving area of advanced coding, Error Control Coding for B3G/4G Wireless Systems targets IMT-Advanced systems to present the latest findings and implementation solutions. Read more ..
Please be aware about two important WWRF publications channels: our IEEE WWRF VTC joint journals (IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine), published two times per year. These special journals include the best papers of the two WWRF meetings per year and our Wiley WWRF book series.
