W01

Exploitation of Higher Frequency Bands in Broadband Aerospace Communications (EHF-AEROCOMM)

http://wavemission.uniroma2.it/wave/workshop/index.htm

Chair: Claudio Sacchi (University of Trento, Italy)
Marina Ruggieri (University of Rome "Tor Vergata", Italy)

The EHF-AEROCOMM workshop will be a unique opportunity in order to discuss open issues about the exploitation of Extremely High Frequencies (EHF, domain, ranging from 30 GHz to 300 GHz) in aerospace communications (satellite, high-altitude platforms, optical communications, radar applications). The workshop will contain invited lectures and speeches, oral presentations, a technology track session devoted to technical discussions around posters and demos highlighting emerging technological developments. The workshop will be concluded by a panel session where participants will try to resume ideas, critical points, risks and future challenges emerged during sessions and invited talks.

Sunday- MORNING TUTORIALS (9:00 - 12:30)

T1: Near-Capacity Wireless Multimedia Communications
Presenter: Lajos Hanzo, University of Southampton

Mobile communication devices are becoming ever more powerful and sophisticated. This course reviews the most recent trends, techniques and system components in the field of wireless multimedia communications.
T2: WiMAX: An Advanced Broadband Wireless System
Presenter: Doru Calin, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent

This tutorial targets researchers at all levels and practitioners who desire to understand the nuts and bolts of a WiMAX based system, or the application of the OFDMA based technology to a real system.
T3: Wireless Telemedicine
Presenter:
Yang Xiao, University of Alabama

Telemedicine is an information technology that enables doctors to perform medical consultations, diagnoses, and treatments, as well as medical education, away from patients. This tutorial will cover a survey on telemedicine, particularly wireless telemedicine.
T4: Sensor Networks – Technologies, Protocols and Algorithms
Presenter: Anura Jayasumana, Colorado State University

This tutorial will review the emerging sensor networking technologies, protocols and applications, and look at practical and theoretical issues in designing, deploying, and analyzing and evaluating sensor networks.
T5: RFID Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) (Canceled)
Presenter: Dale Thompson, University of Arkansas

The objectives of this tutorial are to understand the layers in a RFID system, know security threats, understand techniques for mitigating these threats, perform a simple risk analysis, and understand privacy concerns.
T6: Next-Generation Broadband Networks
Presenter: Benny Bing, Georgia Institute of Technology

This tutorial focuses on broadband wireless access, emerging wireless LAN technologies, and next-generation video transport. It covers 802.16 (Wi-Max), 3G/4G/LTE, mobile digital TV broadcast, 802.22, emerging 802.11 standards and amendments; and H.264 Advanced Video Coding.
