Antenna arrays and propagation models for advanced communications systems

Summary form only given. It is understood that the realization of the next generation wireless technology will require an integrative approach and multidisciplinary research that may span across the entire communication (physical to the application) layers. Innovative antenna solutions and advanced propagation modeling techniques; however, have recently received considerable attention as an integral part of the realization of future and advanced systems. This presentation focuses on reviewing recent developments in the antenna and spatial channel modeling technologies.
