| Title |
| Leading Technologies for Mobility |
| Abstract |
| Second generation wireless systems introduced digital technologies that
revolutionalized the communications industry. Certainly, wireless voice
communications has become more of a necessity than a luxury in society and
has substantially improved productivity for the business person. At the
same time, the advent of the internet and email has significantly enhanced
the ability to access information and communicate in a much more
productive fashion. These growing trends point towards huge market
potential for wireless data communications, which is the aim for third
generation wireless systems. There is a pent-up demand for universal high
speed mobile data access providing the ability to conduct professional and
personal business anytime and anywhere. To make this possible, continued
technology evolution to provide higher and higher data rates/throughput
for wireless communications is a necessity. Some of the leading
technological advances that enable high speed data capabilities are spread spectrum technologies, the
evolution to All-IP networks, Intelligent Antennas (IA) and multi-antenna technologies like
Bell Labs lAyerd Space-Time (BLAST). This talk will discuss how such
advanced technologies will lead the way to enabling third generation
systems to revolutionalize the wireless data industry. |

Dr. Paul Mankiewich is currently Chief
Architect and Chief Technical Officer for Lucent, Mobility Solutions. He is responsible for all aspects of new technology
implementation for the business from radio through the network. His group
is also accountable for developing new air interfaces and their associated
algorithmic improvements. His group was critical in the successful
commercialization of CDMA and has carried this expertise into the 3G
arenas. A few of the critical technologies are adaptive antennas, BLAST,
ASICs, linearized power amps, and network architectures and elements. This
includes efforts for moving the network from circuit switched to All-IP.
His group is also aggressively addressing the needs of the future 4G
network as 3G systems are currently being developed.

Dr. Mankiewich was previously, Director of the
Wireless Technology Research Department in Core Bell Labs. He was also
Wireless Research Hardware and Architecture Director for the Wireless
Networks Group. In this role,
Dr. Mankiewich was responsible for integrating research technology into
wireless products. His
research department had responsibility for adaptive antenna, radio and
modem technologies for next generation wireless data and voice networks,
novel system and radio architectures.
Dr.
Mankiewich received his Ph.D. from Boston University in Applied Physics.
He began working in cellular wireless in 1988.
Since then he has been involved in and responsible for all aspects
of wireless system design for both CDMA and TDMA systems (GSM, EDGE, UMTS,
IS-95, IS-136, CDMA2000 (3G-1X, 1XEV-DO, 1XEV-DV) as well as numerous
proprietary systems).

| Title |
| Anticipation of SDR and UWB |
| Abstract |
| Software Defined
Radio (SDR) and Ultra Wideband (UWB) must be attractive technologies for a future wireless world in a sense of activating research and business. Both can provide a lot of
issues or problems which should be solved in academia, industry, government and their
collaboration. Evolution of SDR and UWB is anticipated to know what we can do for it. |

Professor Ryuji Kohno was an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions
on Information Theory and the IEICE Transactions on Communications.
Currently he is a member of the Board of Governors of IEEE Information Theory Society and an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on
Communications and that on Intelligent Transport Systems
(ITS).
He was the Chairman of the IEICE technical group on Spread Spectrum Technology and technical group on Intelligent Transport System (ITS). He has been chairing the IEICE technical group on SDR and the UWB project in
CRL. |
| Prof. Kohno has contributed for organizing many international
conferences. He is also an chair-in honor of 2002 International Conference of Software Defined
Radio (SDR02) and a general co-chair of 2003 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT03) and so on. |
