What is Next for Wireless Communications? • In broadband access WiMAX and LTE promise extremely high peak rates • However this is just for one user in one cell • What happens when we have Trillions of users • Wireless aggregated capacity will need to increase enormously • How can this challenge be met?
Increasing Capacity • What can we do? Increase Power Cooperative systems Increase Bandwidth Cognitive Radio More Channels MIMO
MIMO- Large M • Capacity linear in the number of antennas • Makes sense to make N as large as possible • Instead of 2 antennas lets use many- 36 or even 100 • Chi Yuk Chiu and , RD.

Pervasive Communications • Trillions of mobile wireless devices • Devices ubiquitously embedded in the world • actuators, sensors, memory, processing, speakers, microphones, cameras, displays • Intelligent software agents deployed • To mine data, act on that data, observe trends, and adapt to their environment • Easy configuration and maintenance • The Internet will become essentially a pervasive global system • What the internet has done for computers, pervasive communications will do for wireless
Easy Configuration and Maintenance • Intelligent software agents could be deployed across the network whose function it will be to • Mine data • Act on that data • Observe trends • Carry out tasks dynamically • Adapt to their environment
Pushing the Wireless Revolution • Revolution in short range wireless communications • WLAN, WiFi, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n • Rates up to 54Mbps • IEEE 802.11n using MIMO • Approx 250Mbps • Zigbee • Bluetooth • UltraWideBand • 3.1-10.6GHz band • IEEE 802.15.3a • 480Mbps within 1-10m • RFID • Passive • UHF- 900MHz
