Wireless innovations and future wireless pipes

Summary form only given. Over the last decade, the wireless telecom industry has undergone tremendous changes and experienced rapid growth. The reason behind this growth is the increasing demand for bandwidth and capacity-hungry data and multimedia applications. Building “fat pipes” will be the cornerstone of future wireless communication systems. Cognitive radio, smart antenna and the use of artificial intelligence add intelligence to wireless technology. As energy saving and environmental protection become a global demand and inevitable trend, wireless telecom industry also need to shift its focus to energy-efficiency oriented “green” infrastructures and products. This talk identifies many research innovations and industry opportunities to enable future fat, smart and green pipes for wireless communications.
