`Challenges for Research in Wireless Communication Technologies’

May 21-23, 2012

About the Workshop The modern era belongs to a new wireless world indeed! The rapid growth of mobile cell phones,

Wi-Fi, and recently the wireless Internet is driving the whole world towards advanced Wireless

Communication Technologies. Let it be metropolitan/congested urban cities, or industrialized

economic zones, or even vast rural area; wireless voice/data/video communications is becoming

popular in every application. Wireless communication systems and networks are being installed and

commissioned in many towns and cities every day throughout the world. Local residents as well as

visitors at any location use handheld wireless devices and laptops, to remain connected with rest of

the world. The availability of more and more RF spectrum in higher band (1 GHz and more) for

mobile communications, mobility awareness in civilized society, global standardization of wireless

devices and products, expansion of business using information technology and many more such

factors are leading towards huge growth rates in wireless communication technologies. The advent of

new mobile applications and high-speed data transmission techniques will bring ubiquitous

multimedia mobile computing reality sooner than later.

So there is a need of hour to keep abreast with related research areas as well as finding solutions to

challenging issues. The department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Chitkara

University Punjab proudly announces a national-level faculty development workshop on

`Challenges for Research in Wireless Communication Technologies’ during May 21-23, 2012.

Scope of Workshop This Workshop will cover divergent topics ranging from fundamentals of cellular mobile

communications to emerging wireless networking technologies. The workshop will address most of

the contents specified in the curriculum of cellular & mobile communications, wireless

communication systems & networks, advanced wireless communications, and many other allied

subjects at under-graduate as well as post-graduate level of Electronics and Communication

Engineering in different Indian technical universities and institutes.

The participants will derive various benefits such as

To equip themselves with best teaching material in related courses To get familiarized with simulation tools To publish technical papers in journals and conferences To identify research areas for their M.Tech. and Ph.D. work

The Workshop Course Outline and Schedule Three-day workshop will be conducted via an integrated presentation of theoretical and practical

aspects. Theme of the workshop is to find answers to challenges for research …..

Acquire requisite knowledge

Practice it

Identify problems and issues

Evolve probable solutions

And finally ….. RESEARCH, RESEARCH, AND RESEARCH ….
