Wireless Summer School Workshop

无线暑期学校研讨会将于 2009 年 8 月在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校 (UIUC) 校园举办为期一周。近年来，无线通信和网络一直是热门研究活动的主题。人们普遍认为协议的跨层设计将有助于提高无线网络性能。为了促进跨层研究，暑期学校研讨会的讲座主题旨在让与会者了解理论、实践、物理层和更高层的发展。暑期学校研讨会将为本科生和研究生提供一个机会，让他们更好地了解影响无线系统设计的广泛问题。将鼓励妇女和少数民族学生参加讲习班。预计暑期学校研讨会将提高研究生未来研究成果的质量。参加暑期学校还将帮助本科生更好地了解无线系统领域的研究挑战，并激励他们继续深造。研讨会与会者之间的互动也可能导致不同与会者之间未来的合作。

A wireless summer school workshop is to be held on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) for one week in August 2009. Wireless communications and networking has been a topic of intense research activity in recent years. There is a general consensus that cross-layer design of protocols would help improve wireless network performance. With the goal of facilitating cross-layer research, the topics of the lectures at the summer school workshop are chosen to provide the attendees exposure to developments in theory, practice, physical layer, and higher layers.The summer school workshop will provide an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to gain a better understanding of a broad range of issues that affect the design of wireless systems. Attendance at the workshop by women and minority students will be encouraged. It is expected that the summer school workshop will improve the quality of future research output by the graduate students. Attendance at the summer school will also help the undergraduatestudents gain a better understanding of the research challenges in the area of wireless systems and to motivate them for higher studies. The interactions between the attendees at the symposium may also lead to future collaborations between different attendees.
