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?

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

Cooperative Networks
• Cooperation between nodes
 multi-user encoding and decoding
 relays may exchange information with
each other in order to coordinate
transmission and reduce interference

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
12
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
13
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
