Workshop Background	The IWPC has held 9 previous workshops on handsets, handset power management and packaging. In our May 2004 Workshop, hosted by Microsoft, we learned how important power management is to future handsets. During that May 2004 Workshop, Verizon Wireless presented the idea of Handset Autonomy - meaning, how long will a handset operate between having to re-charge the power source. Shortly after that May 2004 Workshop, IWPC Members along with Verizon Wireless, other carriers and many others in the supply chain began to develop an industry-wide spreadsheet model to estimate Handset Autonomy.
Workshop Goal	The GOAL of this workshop is to bring the entire handset development supply chain together to explore the current and future state of the art of handset power management and further the development of the Handset Autonomy Model Project.

8:15 am	Introductions	All participants are invited to introduce themselves.
8:45 am	Keynote Presentations What are the current and future requirements for Handset Power Management and Handset Autonomy? CDMA EVDO GSM WCDMA etc... What power management differences are there between low tier, mid tier and full featured portable handset devices? What are the various Handset "Use Cases" in terms of minutes of use for standby, talk time, internet access, MP3 play, video play, game play, etc? Road Warrior Outside Sales International Traveler Soccer Mom Teenage Girl Teenage Boy Grandmother Others... etc... What are the handset power use implications with the inclusion of alternate radios: WiFi, Bluetooth, WiMAX, etc. What are the future requirements for the OS in terms of power management "hooks"? What is required of the handset industry supply chain to meet the needs of future handset designs, in terms of power management and handset autonomy. What changes, if any, can be done at the base station to increase handset autonomy?	Title TBA Steve Werden Director, Device Evolution Verizon Wireless Title TBA Stephen Wiktorski Director TELUS Mobility
10:00 am	Break
10:30 am	Operating System (OS) Providers As handsets get more and more complicated, the Handset OS becomes more important in power management control. What "hooks" are being developed to control power management functions in the handset? What is desired from the hardware supply chain, to facilitate "system wide" and "local functionality" power management from the OS? What are the implications of various handset Tiers to OS and OS Power Management? IE: Are their low, medium, high end handset OS's If so, are the power management hooks the same with each Tier'd OS? And, what different hooks are needed in the hardware to compensate for the OS variations between Tiers of handsets?
