Wireless and Mobile Communications Workshop (WIRELESS)

以互联网和宽带综合业务数字网络为代表的分组交换在短短30年的研究和开发中已经发展到了巨大的比例。然而，网络和通信中的许多概念是在网络节点永久连接到的金属或光纤链路的背景下发展起来的。网络的几个基本原则正受到挑战，因为无线链路的引入依赖于射频信号的大气传播，以及仅在短时间内连接到无线(甚至有线)链路的移动节点。本次研讨会将确定无线和移动通信领域的主要研究问题。工作坊将於一九九七年三月二十四至十六日举行，探讨无线及流动通讯的主要研究课题。通过召集该领域的主要研究人员，讲习班将提供一个论坛，就需要解决的基本问题以及如何最好地处理这些问题进行激烈的讨论和辩论。研讨会将有在该领域有公认贡献的研究人员积极参与。研究人员的两个基本轨道正在汇集：1)通信、链路和硬件技术专家；以及2)网络、中间件和高级应用专家。讲习班将由联席会议和双轨会议组成，使不同的专家能够交流意见，并使相关专家能够集中讨论。研讨会的最后报告将是小组撰写的题为“无线和移动通信的研究优先事项”的报告。

Packet switching, as exemplified by the Internet and Broadband Integrated Services Digital Networks, has grown to tremendous proportions in the short space of 30 years of research and development. However, many of the concepts in networking and communications were developed in the context of metallic or optical-fiber links to which network nodes are permanently attached. Several of the basic tenets of networking are being challenged by the introduction of wireless links that rely on atmospheric propagation of radio-frequency signals and mobile nodes that are connected to wireless (or even wired) links for only a short period of time. This workshop will identify the major research issues in wireless and mobile communications. The workshop, to be held March 24-16, 1997, will identify major research issues in wireless and mobile communications. By assembling leading researchers in the field the workshop will provide a forum for intense discussion and debate about the essential problems to be solved and about how best to approach these problems. The workshop will feature active participation by researcher with well established contributions in the field. Two basic tracks of researchers are being assembled: 1) communications, link, and hardware technology experts; and 2) networking, middleware, and advanced applications experts. The workshop will consist of joint and two-track sessions, allowing the exchange of ideas among different specialists and focusing discussion among related specialists. A final report of the workshop will be a group-authored report entitled, "Research Priorities in Wireless and Mobile Communications".
