Huawei Workshop:

"Key Technologies for Future Wireless Communications"

Wireless communication is evolving from 2G, 3G into 4G, with the technologies of TDMA, CDMA and OFDMA/MIMO, respectively, in the past decade. Huawei Technologies has been dedicating great efforts and innovative contributions to this fast evolution. Now, Huawei Technologies is a leader in providing next generation telecommunications networks, and serves 35 of the world's top 50 operators, along with over one billion users worldwide.

What is the next milestone? It seems to be cognitive radio (CR) based dynamic spectrum access (DSA) system, which will significantly solve two of the most important issues of wireless communication, i.e. spectrum scarcity and deployment difficulty, and finally leads to the future ubiquitous and flexible wireless access. Though there have been continual efforts on DSA in both academia and industry in recent years, it still remains an open area with many technology challenges, especially when it is combined with other advanced technologies such as cooperative communication and cross-layer design. Meanwhile, remarkable challenges to the physical layer of wireless communication are also standing in front of both academia and industry.

Huawei Technologies would like to share its state of the art achievements and potential solutions, and offer distinguished investigators an opportunity to lead a discussion on the vision of future wireless communications:

1. How to quickly and smoothly enter the age of CR/DSA telecommunication?

2. To reduce the interference between different cells/sectors and therefore significantly improve the cellular network capacity, how to do the joint scheduling and joint transmit/receive signal processing, etc?

3. Is the cellular network structure still our future network structure after 10-20 years?

4. What is the future vision of distributed network, MIMO/MU-MIMO/Cooperative MIMO, wireless Relay, and backhaul mesh, etc?

5. Convergence of wired/wireless systems and services.

6. Support of future Internet services and multimedia applications.
