“Opportunistic Spectrum Access via Cognitive Radio”
Abstract:
The explosive growth of wireless communications has presented us an intriguing spectrum paradox: On the one hand, the overcrowding spectrum allocation threatens the potential deployment of new wireless services. On the other hand, at a particular time and location, the spectrum is often only used sparsely, despite the presence of many potential unlicensed users. The root of this paradox, now widely recognized, is the static spectrum allocation and the rigid access policy that prevent a more efficient and dynamic usage of wireless channels. We present in this talk some recent developments in opportunistic spectrum access using software-defined cognitive radios. We are interested in the coexistence of primary wireless users with cognitive secondary users capable of channel sensing and adaptive transmission. We focus on a decision-theoretic approach aimed at achieving an optimal tradeoff among opportunity learning, opportunity exploitation, and interference mitigation. We illustrate the proposed approaches in the context of the cognitive coexistence of Bluetooth/WLAN devices.

"Future wireless network systems"
Abstract:
It is generally believed that the broadband network world will make continuous progress both in speed and capacity. On the other hand, there also exists a doubt that such explosive expansion would truly be needed or economically achievable. Furthermore, we are facing new difficulty of the environment problems such as the earth warming caused by CO2 increase. Such new circumstances are very important factor when we think what we should do to build a better future network. The future direction of wireless systems should also be harmonized with this idea and it is valuable to think how wireless technologies can be utilized to provide related services. In this talk various aspects of the future network will be discussed with the idea that its role to contribute to resolve new human social problems as a whole is important as well as the efforts to achieve more performance and reduce the power consumption of the network system itself. Firstly the future network architecture will be reviewed briefly. Then new wireless possibilities will be discussed. All IP network is a general trend of future network. Efficient operation of the IP network as a core will be discussed and some studies are shown as an example. Here some applications to collect information efficiently will also be
shown. Then some wireless technologies both in a core network and personal area will be introduced. Finally the talk will be concluded with the understanding that its role to collect huge amount of individual information at the network peripheral area is one of the key points to think over the future possibility of the wireless technologies.

George Mason University, USA
"IP and packet-based wireless networks"
Abstract:
With the significant interest in the wireless multimedia services, which require quality of service at the access and core networks as well as extended mobility, the all packet/IP-based architecture provides an attractive choice. The evolution towards this architecture is already underway with enhancements made to second and third generation cellular networks as well as extended local and metro area wireless networks. This presentation will start with a review of early limited packet data communications systems for cellular mobile networks and cover various architectures for all IP and packet-based wireless networks. The discussion will include contemporary wireless broadband standards as well as topics such as connectionless mode in the radio access, interim point-to-point and point-to-multipoint pseudowire for backhauling, and label-based packet forwarding in the network access.

Professor Chunming Qiao

"Converging broadband access systems: Networking aspects"
Abstract:
While fiber-optic technologies have been traditionally deployed in backbone networks, they are also finding niche applications in the access domain (e.g., in the form of Passive Optical Networks or PONs). Meanwhile, RF-based wireless technologies have already changed the way we communicate, and yet the demands for higher bandwidth, longer reach and better interoperability remain strong. In this talk, I will briefly outline a vision for an integrated optical and wireless systems, with a focus on architectural issues. I will also discuss the cost benefit of such an integrated system based on a combination of PON and WiMAX, for example, as well as its flexibility in terms of resource allocation and load balancing among multiple „cells‰.
