Workshop Background:
This workshop continues the series of annual events in which the IWPC examines new technology related to mobile handsets. Specifically, each year the IWPC helps network operators to evaluate new technologies for an improved user experience, through the longest possible usage time for the feature set required.
During the 2007 meeting, (hosted by Vodafone in Dusseldorf, Germany) a list of 12 innovations were identified which could roughly double the usage time of a 3G handset on a single battery charge. This year's meeting will look at these innovations again and view them with regard to some specific network operator scenarios.
|
||
|
Workshop Goals:
The goal of this meeting will be to estimate the power savings for multiple innovations, to allow Verizon Wireless and other operators to make applications decisions and to set realistic targets for battery life in their handsets.
