Abstract :
The Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF) is a global organization, which was founded in August 2001. Members of the WWRF are typically manufacturers, network operators/service providers, R&D centers, universities and small and medium enterprises. In particular, the WWRF identify and scope research issues relevant to future mobile and wireless communications, including pre-regulatory impact assessments and invite world-wide participation. As such, the Forum provides a global platform for discussion of results, exchange of views to initiate global cooperation towards systems beyond 3G. In particular, smart antenna technology has become one of the most dominant technologies for future wireless systems. This paper gives and overview of the WWRF and smart antenna technologies being developed within the WWRF
