Transcript White Space Mobile Devices and the Consumer Market.

• How
are impact
we going
to get
there?
How will
White Spaces
the consumer
market?
Is Super Wi-Fi a subset
of Wi-Fi? Will White Spaces mobile devices become a reality in 2011?

‘5G’ Technology
Key concepts discussing 5G wireless communications are:
Networks providing ubiquitous computing: User can simultaneously be connected to
several wireless access technologies and seamlessly move between them.
802.21 - Standard supports algorithms enabling seamless handover between
networks of the same type as well as handover between different network types also
called Media independent handover (MIH) or vertical handover.

Next Gen Wireless
Cognitive Systems
Spectrum Sensing, Spectrum Management, Mobility, Spectrum Sharing
Software Defined Radios (SDR)
Radio components defined in software (vs. hardware) allowing support for
different frequencies and protocols.
Antenna Design Improvements (SDA)
Multiple antenna elements and /or reconfigurable antennas, Smart
Antennas, External Antennas, Software Defined Antennas (SDA).
Coexistence and interoperability Standards
802.19.1, 802.21, others
Today’s Wireless
